We would urge you to use our local businesses when ever possible.

Sponsorship of Swimmers

All money raised through the sponsorship of swimmers goes to worthwhile local causes. The Rotary Club of Grantham works with all of the charitable organisations in the local area to identify worth while causes. Careful consideration is given to each grant to ensure that any Rotary Swimarathon money raised is spent well.

If you are a tax payer and sponsoring a swimmer please ensure to put your address on the sponsor form and tick the appropriate box. in that way The Rotary Club is able to claim gift aid from the inland revenue, thus effectively increasing your donation by about 28%.
