Rotary Club of Settle Charitable Trust
Annual Trustees Report 2024 – 25
In the period from 1[st] July 2024 to 30[th] June 2025, the trust had another successful year in its role as the charitable arm of Settle Rotary Club.
The regular annual fund raising events took place including the very popular and successful Santa’s Sleigh collections round the local villages in December, which provides the income for the Santa Fund to support local good causes throughout the year. This was followed in February by the “Merry go Round” safari supper event. In April, the Rotary Club, once again provided the local manpower for the Marie Curie Cancer Campaign annual street collection and provided them with a top-up grant from the trust funds. In June we held the annual “Settle Saunter” series of cross-country walking and running events to suit all abilities.
In spite of difficult times with rising living costs the contributions received at all events held up remarkably well, and resulted in a successful year of fund raising and the ability to provide supporting grants to many charities and good causes, both locally and over a wider area, including support for some operations overseas through our support for the Rotary Charities and the local charity “Kids at School in Nepal”.
