Autumn 2022
RAW members, led and inspired by Dr.Paul Creighton, worked for over 14 years to create a safe, pleasant and environmentally friendly area which could be enjoyed by both communities and all the visitors which now come to our area. That effort involved planting wildflower areas, 20,000+ crocuses, poppies and all the new assorted wildlife. That effort has now been recognised by Rotary North East, with the award of the District Environmental award.

JULY 2021
The past Rotary year has seen a magnificent step forward in the fight against polio. Since 2016 wild poliovirus has been circulating only in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and this year there have been only 2 cases, both in January, compared to 82 cases in the first six months of 2020. Just as encouraging is that the number of positive poliovirus isolates detected by regular environmental screening for the same six-month period has fallen from 237 to 60. This is evidence that the level of circulation of wild poliovirus in the community has declined to the point that the epidemiologists of WHO are confident that eradication will be achieved within the next 3 years.
