One of the longest-standing Aquabox ambassadors, Rob Keating of the Rotary Club of Ayr, died recently. Rob was a passionate and loyal supporter of Aquabox, and his efforts over the years of his involvement cannot be overstated. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Rotary District 1010 Conference in Aberdeen in October, and he made what could have been a long day speed past. Little did I know that shortly after this, Rob was to receive a dreadful prognosis, and it is a testimony to his commitment that he attended the conference when obviously unwell. The Aquabox ambassadors are the lifeblood of our charity, and Rob was a jewel among this group. He and his Aquabox team raised funds which have provided access to clean drinking water to many hundreds of people in need across the world. Roz Adamson

Rotary Club of Ayr

Did you know that the Rotary Club of Ayr supports a wide variety of projects right here in Ayr? We help individuals and small groups as well as bigger projects, trying to make a difference to local lives. In recent times we have helped Ayrshire Women's Hub, Unity Grill and local swimmer Laura Logan with grants from our Treasure Chest. We support the Ayr Salvation Army / Ayr Community Church food bank with food donations at the end of each month, and the ‘jeely jar’ goes round the meeting each week with the contents periodically donated to a local cause - recently Crossroads South Ayrshire Care Attendant Scheme were the recipients. Do you belong to a local organisation or project that could do with some help? Why not get in touch to discuss what we might be able to do to support you. Ayr Rotary, making a difference.
