Join thousands of volunteers from around the world at the ultimate celebration of Rotary.
To support the amazing work our clubs and members are doing around Great Britain and Ireland, Rotary Great Britain & Ireland is organising a programme of Impact Days.
This project is aimed at broadening people’s access to volunteering activities and new opportunities, locally and nationwide. We’re partnering with other organisations and Rotary volunteers to create and expand existing initiatives, showcase the ways in which our members make a difference, and increase the impact of our organisation’s work.
Impact Days support Rotary’s areas of focus, and Rotary GB&I is particularly keen to develop events across Great Britain and Ireland which promote engagement with sustainable environmental and community development projects. The Impact Day model is flexible and encourages both short and longer term volunteer involvement, raising awareness of Rotary and our various membership options, and producing measurable outcomes.
Impact Days are open to all Rotary members – Club, Corporate, Direct and Enterprise - and this project encourages everyone to join forces and make a difference as People of Action!

Our first Rotary Impact Day!
Our first Rotary Impact Day took place on World Environment Day, Wednesday 5th June, which also coincided with Volunteers' Week 2025.
Here’s a short video of Rotary’s first Impact Day at Birmingham Settlement’s Nature & Wellbeing Centre, which attracted a team of Rotary Enterprise, Direct and Club Members.
Looking for inspiration? See how Rotary volunteers benefited by taking part in our first Rotary Impact Day - Take a look at the Impact Day feature in the July issue of Rotary Magazine.
You can also find out more about Impact Days or suggest any activities you’d like to develop on a broader basis by emailing: membership@rotarygbi.org.
