The cost of Associate Membership is £25 per year, with the costs of meals at our Club meetings at £15. There may also be incidental event costs (tickets etc) when you attend. Contact us if you would like more details.
With full membership comes a wide range of benefits. From a social circle which becomes very wide as your Rotary membership develops, to opportunities for International activity and project delivery. Because of its spread throughout the UK and abroad, Rotary provides an excellent networking opportunity. You will be welcomed at Rotary meetings wherever you are in the World.
This is a chance for you to support the community in Bolsover and the surrounding area, with your time and effort to benefit those less fortunate, and have great fun while you’re doing it.
You will be expected to take an active role within the Club, attending weekly meetings and supporting events and activities fully.
The cost of full membership is £125 per year, and there is a weekly meal charge of £15. As your membership develops you will have the opportunity to take office in the Club, culminating in a 1-year term leading the members as their President.
Corporate membership allows Rotary clubs to involve any size of business, including non-profit or government entities, into Rotary by offering an alternative membership package to some of its employees.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a hot topic currently, applying to organisations of all sizes. It can enhance an organisation’s reputation with its customer base by publicising the good works being done for the local community. It can make all the difference in business relationships and be the differentiator in winning that prime contract.
Many will see the power of the Rotary membership certificate in the business’s reception, demonstrating how they are a caring organisation prepared to give something back.
Watch this video to see how other businesses have found this beneficial.
Since Rotary in Great Britain & Ireland introduced corporate membership, it has had over 540 registrations, including schools, hotels, care homes, manufacturing, entertainment venues and professional services.
Each has nominated members of staff to become Rotarians, reporting back the great works undertaken.
Membership cost is paid by the business as Rotary is classed as a tax-deductible charitable organisation.
Corporate member organisations know their staff are being recognised in their community as trustworthy, organised, proactive, having a social conscience and, most of all, available for new business conversations.
When companies consider their employees’ personal development plans, often the focus is on what the staff member can offer in the local community. How can they get their hands dirty with a local project which raises the business profile and builds teamwork? Many firms would prefer this approach under the guidance of Rotary (and covered by Rotary insurances), as opposed to simply fund-raising, although the two often go together.
As an added benefit, Rotary has developed many training packages that can be used as part of a programme of continuing professional development for staff.
