The Rotary Club of Newport Uskmouth
"Make a World of Difference"
club projects
Over the years our Club has raised tens of thousands of pounds for community projects and local charities. But more importantly, members have and continue to freely give of their time to interact with and help local communities. We also run or assist with projects aimed at enabling the development of groups and individuals or simply providing the opportunity for people to have fun.
By combining our skills and resources, members of Newport Uskmouth Rotary Club positively contribute to the lives of others and ‘Make Dreams Real’.

The Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
