CLUB PROJECTS

The Rotary Club of Chingford has been involved in a number of
community based and international projects over the years.

Chingford Hospital Garden

The most recent major project for the Club has been the creation of a garden at the old Chingford Hospital site, which is now an aged care home.  After 2 years of hard work by the members the garden was officially opened in June 2001.

Chingford Association for the Physically
Handicapped

For a number of years the Club has been assisting the Chingford Association for the Physically Handicapped by transporting members to their fortnightly meetings.

Tools for Self Reliance

For several of years the Club has been collecting tools for an organisation called Tools for Self Reliance (TSR).

Read more about TSR on the TSR website.

Our main collection point is the Recycling centre in Kings Road Chingford.  About 3 times a year the tools we collect are loaded up and taken to a TSR depot.  They are then painstakingly refurbished and returned to working order before being shipped to Africa, where they are distributed to local tradesmen who could not otherwise afford their own tools.
