Coventry Rotaract is a group of 18-30 year-olds, who raise money and awareness for local, national and international charities, by offering direct support or by organising fundraising events themselves. Members are also encouraged to develop themselves personally, by organising activities for the members and guests to meet new people and to try something new, all within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Thanks for supporting another successful quiz.

The night went really well and we raised over £500 for our chosen charities.

As well as a quiz, extra funds were raised by a game of Irish Bingo and a charity auction. A signed Coventry City shirt, kindly donated by the Sky Blues, went for an incredible £90!

A great night was had by all, raising over £200. Thanks go to local cover band Evolve for entertaining us!

A prize was awarded for the best costume - check out our Facebook group for some photos.

Our annual quiz proved as popular as ever. Thanks to your fantastic support we raised nearly £550 on the night.

All proceeds raised will be donated to our chosen charities, including the Snowball Appeal, Mercia MS Therapy Centre and Coventry Myton Hospice.

On Saturday 7th June 2008 The Rotaract Club of Coventry had a stall at the Two Saints Raft Race.

The race started in Church Lawford with over 20 rafts and finished in Wolston where Rotaractors were on hand entertaining the spectators with their fundraising stall.

Name the teddy, treasure island and guess the number of balloons in the car were all on offer with prizes such as the bear and a set of paintballing vouchers to be won.

The weather kept dry long enough for the race to finish and crowds participated in the fundraising activities to raise just over £100 for charities supported by The Rotaract Club of Coventry inc Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and Mercia MS Therapy Centre.

Many thanks to the Rugby Observer for the above photo.

RGBI Challenges us to eat breakfast in the most unusual place!

Coventry Rotaract, the voluntary fundraising and personal development Club for people aged 18-30, have been eating their breakfast in the oxygen chamber at the Mercia MS Therapy Centre. This was because Rotaract Clubs across the country were challenged to eat breakfast in the most unusual place as part of a competition to celebrate World Rotaract Day. The oxygen chamber was certainly considered to be an unusual place to have breakfast, and also gave club members the opportunity to see the facilities at the centre for whom they have pledged to raise money this year. The centre is in Aldermans Green in Coventry and is an independent charity providing therapies and support for Multiple Sclerosis sufferers and those close to them.

Members of The Rotaract Club of Coventry, plus a member of one of the supporting Rotary clubs, visited the therapy centre armed with bacon butties, sausage sarnies and bowls of cereal. 

Amanda Thurlow, Coventry Rotaract’s Community & Fundraising Officer said, “It has been a privilege and an amazing experience to visit the Mercia MS Therapy Centre and talk to the staff.  The idea of today was initially meant to be about raising awareness of Rotaract, but we were lucky enough to be able to include one of our main chosen charities in this challenge as well.  Having seen the valuable work that is done here it has certainly strengthened our ambition to continue to support worthy local causes”.

An adaptation of the traditional drinking game - something more like golf themed pub crawl!

Rotaractor's and friends turned out on 29th February for a spot of Pub Golf along Craven St - one of Coventry's most popular pub crawl routes.

Most in fancy dress (prize was given to Kate Pearson for the best one) and with buckets to shake we collected money from the sale of scorecards and from donations from other drinkers in the pub.

Responsible drinking was promoted and the option to buy a non alcoholic scorecard was available. Everyone had a great night and we raised £195.22.

Fund Raising So Far...

Thanks to your help - we have raised over £3,400 and counting (our financial year began at the start of July 2008).

Our aim is to raise £4,000 to be split between Coventry Myton Hospice, the Snowball Appeal and the Mercia MS Therapy Centre.
