Rotary Chester have joined with our neighbouring Wirral Rotary Clubs to support Ukrainian refugee families. We have received a Rotary grant to provide educational equipment (contained in a school bag) including but not limited to stationary, calculators, books, sports supplies and hygiene products (as necessary) to Ukrainian refugee children across all of the Wirral penninsula and Chester.
We are in contact with the respective Council offices for family contact details, but we are also responding to individual requests from families or hosts. (Update - in September 2022 local Rotary Clubs distributed a school bag containing educational items and an Asda voucher to 150 school children). With grateful thanks to our supporters in this project: Asda Liscard

Friends of the Narrows Community Park
| Since 2019, a group of volunteers have been working in the Narrows Community Park in Hoole to develop a number of meadows and planted areas with the support of the Council - this has been much appreciated by local residents and the park has won several awards (King and Queen Consort Coronation Biodiversity Competition - CWAC - 1st Prize (2023), RHS Its your Neighbourhood Outstanding - Level 5 Award (2023) and Cheshire West Design Awards, Commended - Public Realm (2025)). |
| The local community have really responded positively to the changes in the park over the past 6 years; people now stop and spend time looking at the various meadows on the park, rather than simply walking through. |
