What's happening - networking and fundraising
Tree of Friendship will blossom in Haymarket

Sydney Rotary in partnership with Market City shopping centre Haymarket has launched its annual initiative aimed at inspiring friendships between young children.

 
 
 
A giant Tree of Friendship has been planted in the Market City Activity Centre to mark the 2024 festive season and Sydneysiders are invited to donate a toy (or monies to purchase toys) that will inspire children to be active, share and care.
 
Our goal is to provide as many children as possible with the gift of play, creativity, and laughter!
 
Use your imagination and leave sports toys and/or arts and crafts supplies under the tree!
 
Give a gift - visit our Tree of Friendship at Market City, 9-13 Hay Street, Haymarket. Anytime from now!
 
Donations - we are aiming to raise $5000 and you can donate here
 
Donated monies and gifts for the Sydney Rotary Tree of Friendship will be distributed at the PCYC Redfern and Woolloomooloo Clubs, the Be Centre (for traumatised children), the Surry Hills Neighbourhood Centre, and Sydney Food Share.
 

Please click here to donate.

Wheels of Aid Project - Ukraine Appeal

Double the Impact: Donate to the Sydney Rotary 'Wheels of Aid' Project

Thousands of families in the Ukraine’s front-line city of Zaporizhzhia are seeking safety and relief. 

Among those fleeing, are 68,000 children who have lost their homes and need food, warmth, and hope.

 

Together, we can make a significant difference. By supporting the Wheels of Aid Project, you are ensuring the delivery of life-saving aid to those in desperate need.

How the 'Wheels of Aid' Project will change lives

Sydney Rotary is partnering with Rotary Zaporizhzhia-Khortytsia to purchase a vehicle that will deliver essential aid to twelve refugee shelters housing thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs)—food, supplies, and more. 

This vehicle will also bring relief to tens of thousands living in conflict-affected areas in south-eastern Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Every dollar donated will directly fund this vital project, bringing immediate relief and long-term support to people displaced by the war.

  Donate today to bring warmth, hope, and relief to families in Ukraine this winter.
