Good company. Good causes. No pressure.
Retirees and semi-retirees, this one's for you

Rotary Club of Malvern has been part of Stonnington for over 60 years, and we're still going strong. We're a warm, down-to-earth group of locals who like good conversation, a bit of fun and the satisfaction of knowing we've helped someone who needed it. There's no pressure and no stuffy formality, just genuinely friendly people, many of them retired or semi-retired, who enjoy each other's company.

Along the way, we raise funds and lend a hand for people doing it tough. We help stock emergency food packs for those struggling to put meals on the table, support Avalon, a local project for people experiencing homelessness, and deliver Koala Kids gifts to children's cancer wards and families across Melbourne. You'll also find us at community events like Stonnington Pets in the Park and Very Special Kids Family Day, and out planting trees on environmental days.

You choose how involved you'd like to be. Come along when you can, pick the projects that suit your interests and energy, and bring whatever skills, stories and sense of humour you've got. No experience needed, just a friendly attitude.

What We Get Up To: You’ll often spot us out and about making things happen. We love getting active in the community, whether we’re:

• Hosting & helping at local community highlights like Stonnington Pets in the Park and the Very Special Kids Family Day.

• Getting our hands dirty on environmental tree planting days.

• Running lively charity fundraisers and community events.

Whether you have a few hours to spare, a special skill to share, or just want to join a welcoming team making a real difference, we’d love to have you.
