I love Rotaract because…

We asked Rotaractors from across Great Britain and Ireland why they are so passionate about Rotaract, and what it means to them to be part of the organisation.

David Gibson – Tyneside Rotaract

The reason I love Rotaract is that it is a great platform to socialise and network with people around my age who all have the same values and interests. I am also able to develop both my professional and leadership skills whilst supporting local and global communities through a variety of initiatives.
