50" Charter dinner

It was a sellout. A ‘good night was had by all. ' Certainly a special event which was extremely well attended. Whilst Jody was our guest speaker and something different to the norm, the applause must go one of our members, who gave a spontaneous and = ale heartfelt talk about his 50 years with Bradford West. We were honoured to host our Lord or i = Mayor and our very own DG. It shows what we can do as a club as everyone mucks in. ss Working with The Bradford (Park Avenue) Sports Foundation. (BPASF) : We were approached in April to partner with BPASF in a new scheme which will harness the power of football and sport to inspire and engage young people, particularly those at risk of anti-social behaviour, youth violence, or those from high-need areas. This would be known as The Rotary Kickback Programme. Members were enthused by this proposed programme, which should lead young people away froma life of crime. It was decided to explore ways of progressing this. Steps taken so far are:

Webmaster

Re Website. The website has been kept to date with event and project reports and with prior publicity. The Cognito online booking system seems to work well.

As in previous years we have a “2024/25 Projects and Events” page, and all projects and events held during the year have been set up as sub-pages.

The six featured pages on the home page have been regularly changed to keep them up to date and relevant. Anew page has been set up to simplify the procedure for submitting new projects and events to council for approval.

Re Social Media. Regular postings on Facebook have kept our club in the spotlight and thanks must be given to our two main contributors. (You know who you are!) In order to appeal to a younger demographic, we need to perhaps look at other areas of social media e.g. TikTok, Instagram, BlueSky etc. Volunteers to do this will be welcomed!

Balloon Race.

An online eco balloon race was held in conjunction with our 50 Charter anniversary dinner on 21% September 2024. The race lasted for 7 days and finished during the event. The winners were announced after the meal.

We sold 119 tickets at £5 each (£595.) After payment of prizes and expenses (£167) a profit of £428 was made for our Charity Trust.

| won’t mention any names but the 1st and 2" placed balloons were owned by a member who has a habit of winning our lunchtime raffle. This member very kindly made a donation to the Charity Trust out of the winnings.

Foundation / Fellowship Weekend Our principal source of fund raising has been the weekly wine raffle. Collection has been by direct debit from all participating members, whether attending or not, enabling us to raise more and more by year. Last year we exceeded £2000 for the first time. This year we anticipate a similar total of £ 2000 or so by the financial year end.

The loose change jar has become an ever more important source of income as members embrace the concept.

Raffles during the year have also added to the total.

The Fellowship Weekend this year took in Coventry/Stratford and Leamington Spa. The weather was good and all members who attended had an enjoyable weekend, despite the coach breaking down on our return Journey. Hopefully we can continue these trips for a few years longer.

Rotary Children's Fun Day - Tuesday 23rd July 2024

42 pupils and 14 staff from Southfield Schoo! attended Hesketh Farm Park on the day. The weather was perfect and the students fed animals, go-karted, explored the play areas, had a picnic and finished with a tractor ride.

The lead Teacher was very grateful for what we do each year and explained how beneficial the day out is for the students.

Littkemoor Park

During the year, members attended a tree planting session., and in the space of less than 2 hours, over 300 shrubs were planted and covered with protective sheaths. That did not stop some vandals by the next day pulling out a number of stacks. Not daunted, they were replaced, and all is well.

Last year’s planted shrubs have taken well with very few perishing. Littlemoor Park is now a designated nature reserve

Bronté Birthplace Walk

The walk was organized on Easter Sunday, 20" April 2025, to commemorate the day the Bronté family moved from Thornton to Haworth with horses and cart. The event attracted hundreds of people both in Thornton and Haworth, as the horses and cart went by, carrying the Bronté children (from the local school) and accompanied by Patrick Bronté and Maria Bronté. Regency costumes were worn. Walkers who completed the whole route on foot received a Certificate of Completion. The event concluded with a talk by a representative of the Bronté Birthplace in The Old School Room in Haworth. Refreshments were donated by Rotary members.

A total of £2,250 was raised, the majority from a Just Giving fundraising campaign, and some from collections on the day. This could be increased by £560 if the Bronté Birthplace receives charitable status. Costs of hiring the horses and cart (£750) were defrayed by the Bronté Birthplace, whilst costs for the costumes (£248.39) and the donation for use of the Schoo] Room were borne by Bradford West Rotary Club. Net funds raised for donation to the Birthplace are £2,001.61(excluding gift aid)

Hedge Planting —

Friday 14 March — Thornton Primary School - 60 children Saturday 15% March — General public and other schoolchildren

The idea was to make an environmentally friendly hedge, providing food for wildlife. This will also create a people-friendly space, with attractive landscaping interspersed with benches for social interaction. Bradford West Rotary members helped to organise the planting. We planted a wide variety of hedging plants interspersed with a few trees. In all we planted 4 collections of plants, totalling 420 - equivalent to a 100m double row hedge:
