The Chairman Responsible for Community & Vocational is
Ian Brown
As we have always done we joined with
the Rotary Club of Caterham and Caterham Round Table
to collect money through the Christmas Tree of
Goodwill street collection. Over the 10 nights
of collection this yielded over £3500. This
was donated to Warlingham Guides, Clifton Hill
School and the Dene Hospital.
In the autumn of 2008 we gave Tandridge
Crossroads a share
of the proceeds from the Old Time Music Hall held in
October. We also gave a share from this event
to MacMillan Cancer Care.
We have also given contributions to the Lily Foundation,
PSDS and Chase Hospice.
During the last few years we have provided help in the local community in the
following areas:
Chase Hospice - Guilford - a hospice for Children
Bletchingley Skills Centre - various projects including new classroom.
Surrey Air Ambulance - a donation in January 2007 of £1000
Rainbow Trust - Leatherhead - respite care for seriously ill children
Caterham Scouts - contribution towards building works for new
toilets at the scout hut.
Rotary Centenary Clock - on the roundabout opposite Church
Walk with Caterham Rotary

IHOT - contribution towards the fitting out of independent living
accommodation for disabled people at the barracks site.
Tandridge PHAB Club - operating the minibus to get handicapped people
to the meetings
Jubilee Sailing Trust - send physically handicapped on tall ships for the experience of a lifetime
Tandridge
Crossroads - a domicilary care organisation to provide breaks for carers
