Service Above Self 


Wigan Rotary Club was formed in 1924. The Club’s priority continues to be to provide support for local community and voluntary groups. As part of Rotary International it provides assistance to organisations involved in humanitarian work overseas.

WIGAN ROTARY COMMUNITY DAY – A UNIQUE FOR COMMUNITY GROUPS AND LOCAL CHARITIES.

A vibrant event in the town centre will again bring the whole community together thanks to
Wigan Rotary Club. A free stall is available in Wigan town centre on Saturday 12th July to local
community groups or charities as part of Wigan Rotary Club’s Community Day.

You will be provided a free of charge opportunity to raise your profile, make some money, and
recruit new members. Every participating group will be allocated a frontage on Standishgate
or Market Place to erect a table, gazebo or mobile display unit and distribute your literature,
sell your merchandise and raise funds and benefit from this opportunity.

The Community Day gives voluntary and community organisations the opportunity to
showcase the fantastic work they are doing in our local communities. This tried and tested
event becomes more popular each year. The Rotary Club of Wigan, who is sponsoring the
event, has obtained the necessary licences, all you have to do is turn up and join in the fun. If
you need any special requirements, please just ask before the day.

To attract the public and create a great atmosphere there will be music groups and talent from
the local community entertaining all day on a stage. It you would like to take part, just let us
know. All that is asked of you is that you turn up and observe a few simple rules. You should
register at the Standishgate entrance from 8a.m. and take any vehicles away before 10am
when the barriers go up. You will not be able to return with a vehicle before 4pm. You must
not do anything illegal or which offends, create a noise that spoils it for others, sell hot food,
use gas cylinders or similar apparatus nor leave rubbish behind. The event will comply with all
Local Authority Regulations.

To book your stall, print the booking form below and send it to the Rotary Club of Wigan or
email the form to wigancommunityday25@gmail.com

This is a free event, but a donation towards expenses would be appreciated. We look forward
to a fun-filled day, which will benefit all the Community in the borough. 

Please publicise the
Wigan Community Day on your website and in your newsletters – spread the word. Help make
it another successful event. 

We hope it will be even bigger this year. So, book early to avoid
