Young Carers
Young Carers are a wonderful group of children that step up and look after a family member. Their extra responsibilities often mean they miss out on school and spending time with friends. It can sideline their whole childhood.
For too many children without the help, care and support that they provide the family unit would not function.
Havant Rotary are proud of their long relationship with the Havant Young Carers. These young people have the extra, and often difficult, responsibility of looking after other family members.
Over the past 5 years we have been delighted to be able to take the youngsters to pantomimes and afternoons at Hayling railway and funfair to ensure they have respite from their caring responsibilities.
On Wednesday 31st May the Havant Rotary hosted 14 Young carers, from the Off the Record club, for an afternoon of games and a run around on the Havant rugby pitch. The carers enjoyed a tea of chips, burgers, hot dogs and the ever popular chicken nuggets
Some of our current projects
Lend with Care
Our Club recently supported the amazing Lendwithcare organisation.It’s such a simple idea: Our Club ‘lends’ funds to the organisation and 100% of everything we lend goes to the entrepreneurs we choose to support.

We have supported the Mary’s Meals Charity for many years. It is a registered charity which sets up school feeding programmes in some of the world’s poorest communities, where hunger and poverty prevent children from gaining an education

Rotary Kids Out on the water took 71 children from special need schools out on the water in Chichester Harbour in 25 private yachts on the 19th May.
