Rotary Club De La Manche Bursary Award

Rotary WheelRotary Club de la Manche 25th Anniversary Bursary Award


As a part of their 25th Anniversary Celebrations the Rotary Club de la Manche created a Bursary Award to benefit charitable work overseas, reflecting in a small way the international character of Rotary.

The Rotary Club de la Manche will provide annual bursaries up to £1,000 which will be used to assist a young person or persons who could not afford the necessary funds, due to personal or family circumstances, to take part in an overseas community work project supported by the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission.

The wish of the members of Rotary Club de la Manche is that the funds, which will go towards the participants overall costs, will assist young individuals to benefit from a life changing experience.
