Weymouth Rotary Club make donations from Fayre in the Square

Following the success of Fayre In The Square, the Rotary Club of Weymouth has started to distribute funds to a selection of charities

These charities include the Horse Course and the Street Pastors. 

Horsecourse will use the funds to help to build a paddock for any new horses that they take on. All of their horses come from a rescue charity where they need to acclimatise separately. The object of Horsecourse is providing contact for nervous and troubled children primarily, although anyone can apply.

They are trained volunteers from local churches who usually on patrol on Friday and Saturday nights from 10pm to 4am around Weymouth Town Centre.  They are there to care for, listen to and help people who are out on the streets.  Funds from the club will be used for water, snacks, flipflops and clothes to those in need on a night out in Weymouth.

Richard Burgess Rotary Club Of Weymouth said: ‘It is great to be able to not only support a real variety of local organisations but also to be able to share the great work these organisations do for our local community.  Keep an eye out for details regarding the other organisations that your donations at Fayre In The Square will help to support’’
