Thank you everybody at The Rotary Club of Tonbridge for your Club’s recent donation of £564. We are extremely grateful for your club’s contribution to assist families in Lebanon and across the Middle East.
We are working together with a local organisation and Rotary in Lebanon to provide families with essential items such as blankets, mattresses, food containers, solar lights, kitchen sets, and hygiene kits. Our teams continue to liaise with Rotary in Lebanon to identify vulnerable communities as we design the project to support people there.
Thank you again for the role your club plays in disaster response.
Senior Citizens Enjoy Country Drive and Cream Tea
On the afternoon of 12th April, 30 senior citizens were taken by Rotarians on a spring drive around the glorious Kent countryside, arriving back at Tonbridge Methodist Church for tea and scones.
They were entertained by an enterprising trio of musicians known as the 'Hazel Street Irregulars', with a mix of traditional English music along with some Blues and Jazz.
All our guests enjoyed a good chat and catch up, after which they were escorted to their homes by their chauffeurs.
RIBI Young Photographer Competition Launch at Leigh Academy Hugh Christie.
The Tonbridge Rotary Club, in partnership with Warners Solicitors LLP, was delighted to host the club’s first RIBI Young Photographer Competition at Leigh Academy Hugh Christie on 22nd March.
Eight students had been capturing images inspired by this year’s theme, “Happiness in Nature.” Through their photography, they had explored how a single image can tell a story and highlight moments of beauty in the world around us. The winner of Young Photographer 2026 trophy was Cerys Becker from year 12, with Zachary Finley (year 10) and Isaac Carter (year 12) joint runners up. Cerys will go forward to compete in the District Finals of the competition.
