Santa Sleigh 2019
In the year to 30th June 2019 the Rotary Club of Lowestoft East Point, the team behind the Santa Sleigh, raised over £20,000 for good causes.
The Santa Sleigh collections alone raised almost £7000 thanks to your generosity and that’s before Gift Aid.
Beneficiaries of monetary awards in the last 12 months have included the Sandra Chapman Centre, Lowestoft Library and the Remember Me Club.
We have given an illustrated Dictionary to every Year 3 pupil in the town and sponsored two young people’s attendance at the annual Rotary Youth Leadership Training Course at Graffham Water.
As an international organisation, we have also provided help for disaster relief overseas through Shelterbox and provided micro-loans to entrepreneurs in the third world through Lend With Care.
The majority of our donations raised on the Santa Sleigh campaign finds its way back into the local community and we trust we can count on your support once again this year.
We will try to respect any houses displaying “No Cold Callers” signs but please bear with us if we should miss a sign due to the darkness.
A full list of the routes is detailed below.
SANTA SLEIGH ROUTES 2019
On a best endeavours basis these are the proposed outings of the Santa Sleigh for 2019. Routes may alter due to adverse weather, traffic conditions and the availability of helpers.
All fundraising is governed by the guidelines of Rotary International and charitable donations are made locally, nationally and internationally from the Rotary Club of Lowestoft East Point Charitable Trust ( Registered Charity 1073198).
Please note that we are all volunteers. We give our time and effort freely.
We cannot cover every road in Lowestoft so if we don’t come down your road, please come to see us at our static sites at the Britten Centre on Saturday 21st December or Asda on Monday 23rd/Tuesday 24th December. See below for timings.
East Suffolk Council have issued the Rotary Club with a street collection licence.
Our Collectors will be wearing badges to identify themselves.

RIBI HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT
Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) acknowledges that it has a responsibility to ensure that all Rotary districts and Rotary clubs within RIBI are made aware of the essential need to plan and organise all Rotary activities and events in a safe manner. RIBI is committed to ensuring that all reasonable steps are taken to safeguard the participants, members of the public, volunteers, Rotarians and anyone who may be in the vicinity of a Rotary event or activity from risk of injury or ill health resulting directly or indirectly from that activity or event.
RIBI is committed to:
- Promoting and encouraging development of safe practice as the normal acceptable standard for all Rotary events and activities.
- Providing all districts with information and advice to enable them to formulate and implement their own health and safety policies and to provide the same service to their respective clubs.
- Establishing systems and procedures that will ensure districts and clubs have access to up to date information and safety advice when so required.
- Developing and encouraging communication at all levels in order to develop the exchange of ideas and to promote best practice at all levels within RIBI.
The overall responsibility for safety at any Rotary activity or event lies with the district or club organising it in accordance with all current legislation including Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The responsibility for implementation of this, the overall RIBI safety policy, lies with the General Council of RIBI. In support of this policy the General Council will appoint a Compliance Officer who will report and operate through the RIBI Executive Committee. The executive for each district within RIBI are charged with ensuring that the district and all clubs in their district develop and put into practice an effective working safety policy. Each district executive and each club council should appoint a Compliance and/or Health & Safety Advisor, who will liaise with the RIBI Compliance Officer and other safety representatives in order to promote, encourage and develop suitable and sufficient health and safety practice at all Rotary events and activities.
This policy statement, and all related documents, will be reviewed by RIBI at the end of each Rotary year following which appropriate advice and updated documents, if so required, will be provided to all RIBI districts. This policy statement, and any documents based upon it, should be re-validated annually by signing the RIBI Combined Compliance Statement.
