A key objectivise of The Rotary Club of Cannock is supporting the young people of Cannock chase. Cannock Rotary sponsor two Interact clubs in the Cannock area. These clubs are located at Kingsmead High School and Chase Grammar.
Interact is a club for young people aged between 12-18 who want to connect with others in their community or school. Interact club members have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world. Interact clubs organise at least two service projects a year: one that benefits their community and one that encourages international understanding. While Interact clubs receive guidance from Cannock Rotary, they govern and support themselves.
At there meeting on Wednesday 23rd October the Cannock club was given a presentation from Kingsmead Interact, the club President Ben Withington outlined the clubs plans to raise funds which include raffles, car boot sale and a Secret Santa
He told the meeting that their community project was to support ‘Brighter Days Rescue’ which is a charity based in Penkridge who rescue and rehome dogs and their international charity is ‘School in a bag’ which provide basic school items to under privileged children around the world.
Their Plan is to grow the club by encouraging more pupils to join Interact and enjoy the benefits of being involved in these very worthwhile projects.
The Cannock Rotary President David Marklew congratulated Ben and his team for the excellent work they are doing and for delivering a first-class presentation, he also offered the Interact the full support of the club. “Interact and Rotaract are the future of rotary the next generation”
