What is Hindley Rotary club & what do they do?
Or who are those people who stand outside Tesco every Christmas?

The Hindley club is a group of men and women who raise money and offer their services to various organisations within the Hindley borough and some international causes.

The club meet on Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the Bellingham Hotel (opp Wigan Infirmary.)  We enjoy a meal, guest speakers and discuss club & fundraising activities.

Our members come from a wide social background including - Doctors, Builders, Engineers, Driving instructors, Shop keepers, undertakers & Farmers.

Fundraising & Community events include – Hindley Rotary bottle stalls at the Wigan & Leigh Hospice summer & Christmas fair’s. The Hindley stall consistently raises the most money. In 2008  
the two stalls raised over £1000 for the Hospice.  

Every year we support national Stroke Awareness Day.  
Stroke awareness day offers FREE blood pressure checks to anyone. Morrisons supermarket – Ince, provide the venue, while the Hindley club supply all medical and support staff. Over the last 3 years Dr Kamath’s team has completed over 800 checks.

Christmas colouring competition
Last year we launched our annual Christmas colouring competition. This was taken up by every junior school in the district with over 500 entries being judged. The six winners received Tesco vouchers and Pye studio craft session vouchers.
