Communities: Supporting Local Gloucester Projects

Rotary in Gloucester Awards are organised by the four city Rotary Clubs. The aim is to support charities, voluntary organisations, community groups within the city with a small grant (up to £500) which can make a real difference.

This is a bit of very good news for cyclists.
