What is Rotary?

Crowborough Rotary is a relaxed and informal club, proudly serving the local community since its formation in April 2021 by Graham Bucksey and Stephen Tester. Today, under the leadership of our 2025/26 President, Ken Maynard, we continue to grow and thrive, welcoming both men and women who are passionate about making a difference. 

Our Mission 

We are part of Rotary International, a global organisation dedicated to supporting communities and improving lives wherever there is need. At Crowborough Rotary, our mission is simple yet powerful: 

“Working with our Community to Make Lives Better.” 

This guiding principle shapes everything we do — from fundraising and volunteering to supporting local initiatives and responding to urgent challenges. 

About Rotary International

Rotary is one of the world’s leading membership and humanitarian service organisations, with 1.2 million members globally.

Through membership of their local club, individuals volunteer on community and humanitarian projects which make a difference locally, nationally and globally.

Rotary members are determined to tackle the world’s biggest issues, including promoting peace, fighting disease, supporting education and so much more.

Rotary was formed as a networking organisation and this still plays a part in Rotary life today. Rotary provides the opportunity to expand personal and professional circles, meet new people and make lasting friendships, all while having fun in the process.

“Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves”
