neighbours since 1987.
We bring Burntwood together, from the Poppy Appeal to Santa's float, giving our time, not just our money, to make this town a better place to live.
Club members collecting for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal at Morrisons
A local club with nearly 40 years of service.
Founded in 1987, Burntwood Rotary Club is part of District 1210 and Rotary International, a worldwide network of over 1.2 million volunteers in more than 200 countries, dedicated to community and international service.
We're ordinary local people, from all walks of life, giving our time to make Burntwood a better place to live. No experience needed, just a bit of your time and a will to help.
We meet weekly on Wednesday evenings at St Matthews Sports & Social Club in Burntwood, and we're always glad to welcome guests and prospective members along. No obligation, just a warm welcome and a chance to see what we get up to.
“Rotary brings people together through friendship and a shared desire to make a difference. Whether you’re interested in joining, lending a hand or simply coming along to meet us, you’ll receive a warm welcome.”
Rob Witcomb, President 2026-27
