Exeter Rotary Clubs raise £5,070 for hospital appeal

The three Rotary Clubs in Exeter and Topsham have proved that 'we're all in this together', by donating an amazing £5,070 to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital's “HelpUsHelpYou” Appeal.

The money will go directly towards providing extra support and essential items for the wonderful key NHS staff.

Exeter Southernhay Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Exeter initially gave a donation of £1,900 to the Appeal.

This was followed by two Thursday night 'Clap and Donate' collections in Countess Wear village and Topsham.

Thanks to the exceptional response from residents, a further £2,270 was raised in Topsham and £500 in Countess Wear.

A further contribution of £400 was then made, by Topsham Rotary Club, bringing the total figure to £5070.

David Garaway, president of Exeter Club, said:  “We are delighted that Rotary in Exeter has been able to help our hospital at this difficult time, thanks to the public's most generous support.”
