At the Age UK Centre, in Clarence Row, Gravesend on Wednesday, 4th December, the Rotary Club of Gravesend were once again distributing donations to the unsung heroes of Gravesend. At this annual event, some of the money raised by our club’s “On Your Bike” bicycle ride in April is given to small locally based charities that care for the people of Gravesend. These charities, many of which are totally dependant on volunteers, help the old, support the needy, care for the sick, safeguard the young, give shelter to the homeless.

If you would like to see us continue to support these charities, as well as the EllenorLions Hospice, why don’t you have a fun day in April, get your bicycle out in April and join the hundreds of people down at the Gravesend Prom. Why not get sponsorship to go for a family ride of 15 miles, or maybe 30 miles if feel a bit more energetic, or you could really go for “the big one” of 45 miles. If you can’t ride a bicycle, you could get in touch with us and become a friend of Rotary for a day and help at one of the checkpoints. For full details go to our “On Your Bike” website.
