Axe Vale Netball Club have received funding from Rotarians - Credit: Axe Vale Netball Club Axminster Rotary Club members have been busy helping the community despite the disruption caused by Covid-19 pandemic. Press officer Martin King said: “From the very beginning of the crisis the club realised that our main fundraising events would be in jeopardy. Our Charity Golf Day was cancelled, the Axe Vale Show was cancelled and Stockland Fete, where we help every year, likewise. “But fortunately from our charity fund we have still been able to assist a number of good causes.” Martin explained: “One of our early actions was to contribute £300 towards the cost of transporting an x-ray machine that had been donated by the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital to go to Kagando Hospital in Uganda. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of Anna Crabbe, the machine is now providing much needed services in that hospital.”
