CHARITY OF THE MONTH Rotary Clubs of Shepway
Dozens of Shepway young carers gathered for an annual Hog Roast and Games Day organised by the Rotary Clubs of Romney Marsh, Folkestone, Folkestone Channel and Hythe at Warren Golf Course in Littlestone. With kind weather on their side, there were 20 Rotarians on hand to oversee the activities including putting, tennis, croquet and hobbyhorse racing. The young carers entered into the activities with great
gusto with two of the boys winning prizes for “holes in one” in the putting and one of the girls winning the prize for the lowest score. As the organisation noted, everyone thought the annual event, the second to be held courtesy of the Romney Marsh Rotary Club, had been a huge success. Joe Taylor, children and young people’s locality manager from Imago, summed up the event: “This was a fantastic day for the young carers and their family
members. As last year, it was a unique opportunity for families that have members with an illness and/or disability to come together in a supportive environment. “I know how much it means to all the families to see rotary members providing such a wonderful day out and showing such interest in their circumstances. I have since received lovely messages of thanks from the young carers including ‘The whole day was wonderful’.” • Visit
