Description Aims and Objectives
Rotary Guernesias is a fun and sociable club actively involved in local, national and international charities. As part of the Rotary International network, we bring together passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a common goal: ‘Service above Self’. We are dedicated to making a positive difference in Guernsey and the rest of the world
In 2024, we successfully launched our first ‘Harbour Hoover’, followed by a second in 2025. These hoovers work 24/7 to clean up our marinas removing plastics and other rubbish, making a better environment for residents and visitors but especially for the marine life.
In partnership with the Rotary Club of Bangalore in India we were awarded a Global Grant to initiate an eye screening project for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma in rural Karnataka in India
