Rotary Donates to Sleaford Community Larder

Leave a Comment

 

The Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven has donated £4,000 to the New Life Community Larder in Sleaford.  (Half of the money came from money raised after last year’s Beer Festival and the other half from a Rotary Foundation (Charity) District Grant)  President Karen is pictured presenting a cheque to Rod Munro, the Community Impact Coordinator and Anna Maltby.  Food parcels have been labelled with Rotary Stickers with 120 parcels being delivered immediately.  The money will provide a month’s worth of food parcels. 

“With the help of fellow Rotarian David Hart, we helped to collect a food delivery from Aldi worth £900 and joined staff in topping up the crates ready for the next batch of parcels to be prepared,” said Karen.  Demand for the Larder service has gone up seven fold in recent weeks.

Thank you to the residents of Sleaford and the local area for supporting the annual Beer Festival so that we can provide donations such as this.  If permitted we are trying to hold this years in late September.

The Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven is continuing to collect aluminium cans in Ruskington and Sleaford. The one at the Winchelsea Car Park was full and has been emptied and the one at Hockmeyer Motors/Spa at Holdingham was also nearly full. So while you are on your essential journeys to shop, please remember to get rid of your cans this way. Please remember to use the crusher on the receptacle as we can get more can in this way.

Aluminium Cans Recycled
A BIG thank you to the residents of Ruskington and Sleaford (and the surrounding areas) for filling the collection boxes to help the Helipads For Hospitals Charity. There are three such receptacles – located at the St Georges Campus Ruskington, Girls High School Sleaford and the Winchelsea Centre Ruskington – and all were full when emptied on November 5th. The aluminium drinks cans will be recycled and the monies obtained used to help build a helipad at a local hospital. (The Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham and the Glenfield Hospital in Leicester do not currently have such facilities.)
Any aluminium cans can be recycled – drinks beer etc (but not food cans).

Wildlife Crime

The Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven had a very interesting presentation by PC Martin Green, the Lincolnshire Wildlife Officer for Lincolnshire Police. Based in Sleaford, he explained about all the work that he and his team do to combat criminality in the (large) area covered. This includes Hare Coursing, theft and poaching including that from commercial fisheries. he is pictured with next year’s president Angela Bailey.

First H4H Receptacles in Use

Leave a Comment

The Rotary Club of Sleaford Kesteven has installed the first two containers for the collection of aluminium cans for the Helipads For Hospitals (H4H) Charity. One is at the St Georges Ruskington Campus (on the internal road between Sleaford Road and Elm Tree Road) and the other at the Girls High School in Sleaford (just inside the main entrance). The Ruskington container is available to access at all times whilst the Sleaford one is accessible outside of school hours (0830-1630). The intention is to collect aluminium cans such as those used for fizzy drinks (not metal as used in food) which will then be processed to raise money for the H4H charity. The aim is then to provide dedicated helipads at major hospitals. (helipadsforhospitals@gmail.cm)
A third container is planned for the entrance to the Winchelsea Centre in Ruskington once enough sponsorship has been obtained.
