Thank you to the people of Sleaford and Ruskington for their generosity over the weekend. We have raised over £2,000 which will be added to the £1,000 from the Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven.We will return to Sleaford on Friday and Saturday this week at the entrances to Sainsburys and Tesco’s and to Ruskington on Saturday at the Winchelsea Centre.

The Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven has joined forces with its Mother Club, the Rotary Club of Sleaford to raise money to aid the people of Ukraine. We are working directly with Rotary Clubs in Poland (and hopefully with Clubs in the Ukraine if they are still able) to send money. The people of the UK (and the rest of the world) have been very generous in providing supplies to be sent to Eastern Europe but we have been advised that money is need by agencies in the area to simply buy fuel so that those supplies can be transported into the Ukraine.To that end both Sleaford Clubs will be ‘rattling tins’ in both Sleaford and Ruskington from Friday 11th and Saturday 12th March. The locations in Sleaford have yet to be confirmed but Rotarians will be in the Winchelsea car park in Ruskington from 10am on Friday and Saturday. Rotary guarantee that at least 99% of the donations will reach the affected areas (this figure is based on previous collections for the Tsunami in Asia and the earthquakes in Haiti in the early 2000s).
