What We Do at Rotary
Rotary’s not just about meetings—it’s about making things happen.
As friends and neighbours, we volunteer our skills and resources to solve issues and address community needs.
Whether we’re planting trees, supporting local youth, or raising funds for global relief, we pitch in where it counts.

How We Do It
- Since 1987, our projects have been funded by our annual New World Rotary Garden Safari and supported by grants from our local Rotary District and from Rotary International. Funds are managed by the Rotary Club of Kerikeri Charitable Trust (Registration Number CC36792).
- Members and our volunteer "Friends of Rotary" provide boots-on-the-ground support.
- We collaborate with other Rotary clubs and local organisations to increase our impact.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world, indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Current and Ongoing Projects
Supporting the Mid-North Women's Refuge
We're holding bi-annual clothing and canned food drives for women and children, preparing welcome packs when they arrive at the shelter, and providing start kits for their new home once they leave.
Watch our Facebook page for updates on the clothing and food drives, and how you can help us support this important organisation.
Graffiti Busters
Club members have recently stepped up to continue the work of long-time volunteers in eradicating this type of vandalism in our town centre.
Te Araroa Track Maintenance
Club members and a cadre of whanau meet several times a year to clean up the Te Araroa track between Rainbow Falls and Waipapa.
