I feel like my journey into Rotary could be a case study in how Rotary can intrigue and capture you, and provide opportunities to improve the lives of locals as well as the wider community.

When Billericay Town Rotary began, and needed somewhere to meet, I offered to open the bar for them at Billericay Rugby Club, providing them with a regular meeting place. And then, ‘well, if you’re opening the bar each meeting you might as well join’. Seeing the enjoyable way Billericay Town went about fundraising for worthy causes both home and abroad, enticed me in to giving a bit more time and getting further involved.

I have lived and grown up in Billericay my whole life and am delighted to lead a club, based in the town, which contributes so much towards it. I have been member of Rotary Billericay Town since December 2019 and am proud to be able to add to its relatively short history as the president for 2025/26.

Our club is an open and inclusive place, that I like to think, has adapted Rotary values to a modern approach to club membership. With monies raised through our funding raising events, we can go on to support many wonderful local and international charities as well as Rotary’s own charity – Foundation.

For my year I want to continue the splendid work of our past presidents, continue to work with the other two Rotary clubs in Billericay and above all, have fun in the giving of service for others. We are always looking for new members and so if you have ever thought about giving back, building friendships, and making a difference, we would love to welcome you. Please Contact Us.
