Transformational Seeds of Hope

President Heather was delighted to welcome Guest Speaker Adam Linton to speak to the Club meeting Monday 08 September.

Pres Steven

I am honoured to take on the role of President of Belfast Rotary Club for the year 2025-26 and grateful for the chance to work with people who are dedicated to service and community with integrity, whose aim locally and globally is to create meaningful change.

Our projects, which range broadly through education, health, peace and reconciliation and disaster relief, can be seen in detail throughout this website and our weekly meetings, which welcome all current and prospective Rotarians, feature engaging speakers. However, we are looking to broaden our meetup options and enhance our activities to foster greater community engagement in both practical and enjoyable ways and we warmly welcome anyone interested to join us in making a positive change around the world.

This year’s Rotary message is Unite for Good.
We welcome you to join us on this positive journey!
