Students demonstrate ‘service above self’
Our Young Citizen Awards honour teenagers from Harpenden’s secondary schools and organisations like scouting and guiding, who have been outstanding in reflecting the Rotary motto, Service above Self.
The award winners, chosen by the school or organisation, gather with their parents at a dinner we host each May, to be introduced by a senior member of the school or organisation.

Improving Harpenden’s living environment
Rotary in Harpenden, known in the town for staging major community events like Classics on the Common and the Harpenden Quiz of Quizzes, and for running several activities for the benefit of young people, in 2023 expanded our activities in an effort to improve the living environment for residents of Harpenden and surrounding villages.
Raffle prizes are a hit, too
Just as the Harpenden Quiz of Quizzes, organised by Rotary in Harpenden, is hugely popular among scores of quiz enthusiasts, so are the event’s raffle prizes. Pictured above are the 20 colourful gift bags, each containing a wide range of items generously donated by local businesses and Rotary in Harpenden members. Ticket sales for the raffle draw raised over £1000 for charity.
