An international fundraising collaboration by Rotarians in Bideford and Germany has raised nearly £40,000 for Children’s Hospice South West.
Bideford Rotary worked with its twinned Rotary Club in Uelzen, Germany, and, with a grant from The Rotary Foundation, raised £39,170 to equip LittleBridge House Children's Hospice with a completely new, up to date communications system, and a specialist ‘Big Bed’.

In 2023 Bideford Rotary worked with many organisations in and around Bideford, in partnership with Toilet Twinning which funds global water, sanitation and hygiene programmes, to twin 20 local toilets with much needed toilets in Africa, and Bideford was appointed a Toilet Twinned Town.
Toilet Twinning has been running since 2010. First, as a joint venture between NGOs Tearfund and Cord, and since 2015 as a fundraising source for Tearfund. They keep administration costs as low as possible, to make sure donations have the biggest impact possible for people living in poverty in some of the world’s poorest countries.
