About Us.
The Rotary Club of Chepstow & District is a friendly Club that encompasses the area of Chepstow, Caldicot and nearby villages.
Our members come from all walks of life with the express aim of helping their local community. Over the years we have raised many thousands of pounds through many events including car rallies, concerts, sponsored walks and so on.

We routinely work with local schools to encourage youth development by running youth competitions such as the ‘Youth Speaks’ public speaking competition, ‘Young Writer’ and ‘Young Photographer’, as well as the ‘Young Chef’ cookery competition, which links up with the national competition run by the UK Rotary organisation.
Each year the Club sponsors a local student for the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA), which is a week long leadership development programme held in the Forest Of Dean.

The Club also works with the worldwide Rotary organisation in international projects such as the one to eradicate polio from the world.
In recent years we have supported Romanian orphanages, acting as a hub for the distribution of ‘shoeboxes’, which are annually filled with toys by school children and then distributed by us to the orphans in Romania.

Being a Rotarian is not all work and no play and we also hold many other events throughout the year for club members and their families alike.
Not every member can always attend each week, but everyone tries to get involved in at least one of our projects, because we all want to give something back to our community, be that local, national or international.
Our membership is a mix of ages and genders and we meet every Tuesday evening in Chepstow between 7:30 and 9:00pm, venue is changing [see latest club news]
