Paul Harris Fellowship (PHF)

All Rotary clubs can nominate members and non-members to be awarded a PHF. Originally it was based on donations made to The Rotary Foundation, which is Rotary’s main charity, but in the United Kingdom, PHF awards are made to people who have made an outstanding contribution to the local community or their club.

The Paul Harris Fellow recognition was established in 1957 to show appreciation to encourage, and recognise, substantial contributions to The Rotary Foundation.   The recognition is named after Chicago attorney, Paul Harris (1868-1947) who founded Rotary in 1905.

Ayr Rotary has made these awards over the years. The award stays with you, even if you move to another club. The current members who hold a PHF award are:
