Rotary’s motto above is what inspires us to volunteer to help where we can in our local communities. We are fortunate in Guildford to have an amazing organisation called Disability Challengers.

Challengers is a charity that gives disabled children and young people the opportunity to play, have fun, and make friends in a safe and supportive environment.  Our input, in assisting with fund raising events, is just a small part that we can play to allow the service that they give.

We were hugely touched by a message received from the one of the Challenger’s team which we would like to pass on. It sums up why we, ‘Rotary in Guildford’ do what we do.

After 4 weekend mornings the new Gosden House School woodland shed is complete.

With willing helpers 2 Architects and a Structural Engineer what could possibly go wrong !
Weekend 1 ground clearing and the base goes down awaiting gravel fill.

Weekend 2 gravel fill goes down. We turned the instruction sheets this way and that way trying to match the myriad components to that which was actually supplied ! This was equivalent to an ‘Ikea Prototype’ before they had perfected their simple construction process.

Weekend 3 and the roof goes on

On the final weekend of the 30^th November the roof covering and doors went on aided by Andy’s bacon buns which may have to become standard fare on future Gosden House Gardening weekends. (Every 4^th Saturday of the month  10-12 am )

Hundreds of screws later we only had a few left over and a couple of pieces of wood !!

Completed Shed !
