Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The Club raised a surplus almost £31,000 during the year for distribution. Approximately £29,200 was given out. The main beneficiaries were the Rotary Foundation, End Polio Now, Charity Link, FOCUS, Love4Life, LOROS and Food Banks.

During the last year the Club has continued to provide Christmas hampers and Easter eggs to families in Leicestershire via several foodbanks.

A main focus during the year was to raise funds to provide cancer detection equipment to hospitals in India. A Bollywood themed dance night raised over £7,000 towards this cause.

The Music in the Park festival was organised by the Club for the second time in 2023. A surplus of £5,950 was split between 3 local charities. Due to increasing costs, lower returns and higher risk levels the club decided that 2023 would be the last year of Music in the Park.
