The Rotary Club of Malvern has been operating in Stonnington for over 60 years.
We have established relationships with local community groups, charities, service providers and businesses, which helps us identify where we can be most effective in giving our professional expertise and volunteer service to improve the lives of others.
Our club regularly participates in local events including Stonnington Pets in the Park, Very Special Kids Family Day, Environmental tree planting days and special charity events and fundraising activities.
We help support a number of local, domestic and international organisations and projects by hands on volunteering or by fundraising. Some of these include:-
- Avalon - a "homeless" project based in Malvern
- The Malvern Emergency Food program - where "packs" of food are located at the Malvern and Prahran Police Stations for those struggling to purchase food
- Mental Health Packs - we provide basic items for those being admitted to several of the mental health units in hospitals across Melbourne
- End Polio Program
- Shelterbox - an organisation that provides items to help survivors of famine, war, earthquakes etc
- Koala Kids - members deliver items to Childrens cancer wards across Melbourne and directly to families with a child with cancer
Members are able to nominate which activities they wish to volunteer for depending on their interests, availability and expertise.
