Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland

'Rotary Day -Thanks for Life' is an annual RIBI project set up to highlight and celebrate the humanitarian work of Rotarians. Its number one aim is to help eradicate polio throughout the world.

Now in its 3rd year, Thanks for Life saw clubs and members across Great Britain and Ireland organising activities for 23rd February, Rotary Day, the anniversary of the first Rotary meeting in Chicago more than 100 years ago, to raise awareness and understanding of Rotary in their community and maximise donations to The Rotary Foundation to assist polio eradication.

The Tower of London was lit up, along with many other iconic landmarks across the world, with  the End Polio Now image, which was seen by passers-by and mentioned in several news reports.

The date may have passed for this year but you can be involved with many activities throughout the year. Contact your local Rotary club.
