This years record total will be used to support Rotary Charities with a special attention to local needs. Money raised is used to cover a broad range of areas which slip so easily through the net of social services and governmental support. These include donations to Myton Hospice, Warwick Hospital Radio, the Kenilworth Talking News, Kids Out (to take children from families in need for a day out), and support individual needs such as an electric wheelchair to enable a Kenilworth resident to be mobile again.
