Helping Santa to help others...
Each year the five Rotary Clubs of Coventry and The Rotaract Club
of Coventry get together with volunteers to help Santa collect
money for two main Charities and for the Rotary Charities.
The two main charities for 2020 are
Coventry Myton Hospice & The Air Ambulance Service.
In 1979 the Bishop of Coventry set
up a committee to discuss the
possibility of opening a hospice for
people in need of special care in
the Warwickshire and Coventry
areas. An appeal for money was
launched. Funding came from
many sources, as it does now,
including Rotarians, Lions, Round
Tables, and various other
charitable organisations and many
individuals.
The Air Ambulance Service is a
fantastic lifesaving organisation
with an incredible team of hard
working people behind it. We're
continually striving to develop our
services so that we can continue to
save lives and alleviate sickness
wherever and whenever possible.
“We can make a living by what we get; but we can
make a life by what we give”
Winston Churchill
We are 1.2 million neighbours,
friends, and community leaders
who come together to create
positive, lasting change in our
communities and around the
world.
Our differing occupations, cultures,
and countries give us a unique
perspective. Our shared passion
for service helps us accomplish the
remarkable.
The Rotary Clubs of Coventry are very excited to be back out with their Santa
Sleigh. Not only are we being out with our Santa Sleigh but this year we have
worked together with the Coventry Roundtable to ensure that we are not visiting the
same roads as each other and to ensure that we cover as many areas of Coventry
raising vital funds for Coventry and Warwickshire based charities and to spread
Christmas Cheer to as many of you as we can.
