Advent Calendar 2026

The Blyth Valley Rotary Advent Calendar is a major charity initiative, where the club highlights and distributes donations to different local and international, causes each day, throughout December. The countdown reveals a donation funded by the club's year-round community fundraising efforts If our fundraising funds allow, we try and give £350 to each Charity or Groups. Members choose the Charities for 2026. The amount is decided by the Treasurer and Trustees.

We will donate to a charity or serve our community every day in December, culminating in our exciting Southwold Christmas Day swim. #community #PeopleOfAction #Suffolk #Charity #Donations
