Vale of Llangollen Rotary, has welcomed Lee Todd as its new president.

Lee, 34, has been a resident in Llangollen for the past three years, originally from Exeter, and has worked within the care sector since the age of 18 within the NHS.

He is currently a co-owner of a supported living company along with his wife and fellow owners.

He has been a member of the Rotary club for the past seven months.

Lee said: “It is a great honour for me to be taking on the role of President for the Vale of Llangollen Rotary Club for year 2023/24. The Club is based within the town that I live, so this will help to enable me to connect with the local community along with our Team of Rotarians and our Community Team.

"We welcome all new members from all walks of life who have a desire to contribute to our local community.

"I hope to increase engagement to the club through social media and word of mouth as this will reinforce the Rotary’s brand and showcase the opportunities that come with it. We will grow the Rotary by way of membership, completing local projects and in our ability to provide a meaningful service.

"My key aims over the next year will be to try and attract the younger generation to Rotary and increase membership.

"I want the community to talk to us and share their ideas on how we can help and offer support where needed. I aim to recognise smaller charities struggling for funds, increase our involvement in the community and I would like to engage the young people from our local schools to get involved and to learn more of what we do.

"I am looking forward to the challenges and getting the Rotary name into the community, with more and more projects both locally and internationally”.

The Vale of Llangollen Rotary and Vale of Llangollen Community Team is ready to welcome individuals and couples 18+ from the local community who want to be “people of action”.
