Ware Lend a Hand Day

On Saturday May 16th this year, Rotarians and partners from the Rotary Clubs of Amwell, Hertford Shires and Ware once again joined forces for a day to offer free help and assistance with various household and garden maintenance tasks to many elderly and disabled residents of Ware.

From the central contact point at Farecla Ltd's Broadmead premises, a large number of Rotary volunteers worked hard to make a success of this truly worthwhile community service project.

Our thanks to Farecla Ltd for giving us use of their excellent facilities and to everyone else who helped to make the day go smoothly.

Iain Duncan Smith

We were delighted to welcome the Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith to our meeting on Monday May 11th.

Leader of the Conservative Party from 2001 to 2003 and presently M.P. for Chingford and Woodford Green, Iain delivered a pasionate address on the aims and ethos of the Centre for Social Justice, a centre-right think tank which works with small charities in its aim of finding innovative policies for tackling poverty.
