The Marketing, PR, and Communications team within the District plays a vital role in enhancing visibility and engagement. We manage the District website, produce directories, and handle communications through emails and social media advice. Collaborative efforts with the Membership Committee focus on PR Grants to boost club marketing initiatives. Current campaigns, like "We’re for Communities," aim to increase awareness and membership through targeted advertising. Clubs can apply for matching grants to support their marketing efforts and design effective communication strategies.

Continuing District Initiatives • In the forthcoming year we will continue to have funds available to help clubs with their marketing and PR initiatives. • The aim of the funding is not only to help with increasing membership but also to raise the public awareness of what Rotary is. • Any club or group of clubs may apply for a matching grant of up to £250 for a single club or more for a group of clubs. They need to provide a sound business plan, this will be reviewed by the PR grants committee.
We’re for Communities – the video • At all Rotary gatherings there are always a number of people in the audience who have not seen the We’re for Communities video. • Therefore, I will show this video.
