Rotary Club of Westbourne

The Rotary Club of Westbourne is a volunteer-led organisation that has been making a meaningful difference in the local community and beyond.  With their motto “Service Above Self,” the club brings together professionals, business-leaders and residents who want to give back—whether through organising charity drives, supporting youth initiatives or improving local green spaces. 

Each Thursday morning the club meets for breakfast at the Collingwood Hotel in Bournemouth (or via Zoom on alternating weeks), providing members an opportunity not just to network, but also to plan the many impactful projects the club runs. 

Over the years the Rotary Club of Westbourne has supported everything from renovating the Westbourne play-park to delivering thousands of meals for homeless people during the pandemic. 

Whether you’re looking to join hands with like-minded individuals, support a local cause or explore contributing your time or expertise, the Rotary Club of Westbourne offers a welcoming environment where making a difference goes hand-in-hand with building lasting friendships. 

If you’re passionate about giving back to your community, meeting new people, and making a real difference, becoming a member of the Rotary Club of Westbourne could be the perfect opportunity. The club welcomes individuals from all backgrounds who share the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self.”

Members meet regularly in Bournemouth to plan local and international projects, from fundraising events and environmental initiatives to youth support and humanitarian work. It’s not just about volunteering — it’s about connection, friendship, and using your skills to create positive change.
