September 2023
We held our street collection on Saturday 30th September in Sutton High Street (near Metro Bank) to raise funds in support of Morocco and Libya.
These two disasters have seen thousands of lives lost and people missing and will require a great deal of international help to provide both food, shelter, and safe drinking water. Rotary plays a part helping those in urgent need in the most effective way by working with Rotary-related charities as well as Rotarians in or connected to the affected areas, to establish the real needs and the best way we can direct funds.
We have also launched our JustGiving campaign to raise much-needed funds (see Appeals).
This year is the centenary of Rotary in Sutton and we put together an exhibition of photos and information drawn from our many activities over the years. The Centenary Exhibition was jointly organised by the 4 Rotary Clubs in the Sutton Borough: our Club Cheam & Sutton Rotary, joined by the Rotary Clubs of Carshalton Park, Sutton Nonsuch and Wallington.
The exhibition took place on Sutton High Street during September. We had many visitors interested to see what we've been up to, including our Mayor of Sutton, Councillor Colin Stears.

About Cheam and Sutton Rotary
It is amazing what we can accomplish when hearts and minds work together. Rotary Clubs consist of members from different countries, cultures, and occupations and these leaders of society are taking action to enhance health, empower youth, promote peace, and advance their community, all round the world.
Our membership is made up of active, enthusiastic men and women of all ages and backgrounds who, by combining their skills and resources, make a real contribution to the lives of others both locally and internationally.
Cheam and Sutton Rotary traditionally meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month sometimes with a light meal from 7:30pm. Other activities may take place on some 4th or 5th Tuesdays of the month and may include get togethers, activities or special meals.
Cheam and Sutton Rotary is a part of Rotary International, a worldwide organisation founded over 110 years ago, based on the principles of friendship, service to the community and the promotion of peace and international understanding.
As a result of Cheam and Sutton Clubs deciding to merge in 2016, Cheam and Sutton Rotary is a new club with a long history. Sutton Rotary dates back to 1923 and gave birth to Cheam Rotary in 1955. Both clubs have supported many local charities over the years of their existence and they have now merged for a wider footprint in the community.
During December, every year, our Santa Float brings seasonal cheer and joy to the streets of Cheam, Sutton and Worcester Park. Our Mulled Wine and Mince Pie Evenings are popular events and fundraisers during Cheam and Worcester Park’s Christmas Evenings.
We also raise funds by collecting outside local supermarkets. We are grateful to Morrisons and Sainsbury’s in Sutton and North Cheam for giving us this opportunity, all of which have been donated to local charities.
Throughout the summer we take our popular Hoopla stall, Environmental Craft stall and other games to fairs and fetes around the Borough, which bring a lot of fun as well as raising funds for local charities.
