In our Community

During the 35 years of this club the Rotary Club of Howrah has developed a number of local projects.

Amongst them a Barbecue at Cremorne, a pathway at Howrah and camps for needy youngsters.

More recently we have built a shelter for the Orana Girl Guide Camp and a Barbecue Rotunda at Wentworth Park.

Amongst our newer project is reconstruction of the Tranmere Foreshore Walkway and the Rotuma Playground at Tranmere

Supporting the Aged

As well as providing financial support for a number of initiatives in aged care we have supported the EastSide Care Home and during the years have given resident's outings, provided firewood and equipment.

The Rotary Club of Howrah sees support for young people as an important aspect of our community service.

We ensure youngsters are nominated to attend Rotary activities such as
