Lichfield St Chad Rotary is open to men and women of all ages and currently has around 20 members.

The group raises around £30,000 for charities and good causes, including at events such as the Rotary Cars in the Park which takes place on 6th and 7th July.

Andrew added:

“Of course, it’s not all about raising funds – we enjoy a wide-range of social events too.

“We have interesting speakers and presentations at our weekly club meetings, games, quizzes, book club and many more activities. “
