Rotary Club Of Wylde Green
Charity 1029117
Overview
Summary
Rotary Club Of Wylde Green appears to function primarily as a locally rooted fundraising and volunteering node within the wider Rotary network. Its role is less that of a direct specialist service provider and more that of a connector: mobilising members, community events and local relationships to channel support toward local, national and international causes. The organisation combines broad charitable discretion with a visible interest in community participation, youth development and global humanitarian campaigns.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Sutton Wylde Green
Confidence: high
Direct evidence identifies fundraising in the Wylde Green area as the charity's stated activity. This is its clearest named local operational base, although the evidence does not identify a permanent service site in the ward.
- Charity Commission register entry and charity activity statement for Rotary Club of Wylde Green
The charity states that it fundraises in the Wylde Green area of Sutton Coldfield, with proceeds used for local, national and international causes. - Rotary Wylde Green, Completed meetings and events 2025-2026
The club recorded local litter-picking activity on 15 November 2025, describing volunteers as working locally to keep the environment clean and tidy.
Sutton Walmley and Minworth
Confidence: medium
The club has directly delivered school resources in Walmley and has repeatedly used New Hall Mill, Walmley, as a public-engagement venue. Supporting evidence places New Hall Mill within the Walmley and Minworth area, although the Rotary evidence does not itself name the ward.
- Rotary Wylde Green, Dictionaries for Life
On 12 July 2024, the club reported delivering dictionaries to Walmley Junior School, with further deliveries planned to other Sutton Coldfield schools. - Rotary Wylde Green website, forthcoming events
The club listed an Open Day at New Hall Mill for 31 August 2026, indicating planned public-facing activity at the Walmley venue. - New Hall Mill official website and Sutton Coldfield Town Council Rangers Report
New Hall Mill is located in Walmley; the Town Council document places New Hall Mill within the Walmley and Minworth area.
Perry Common
Confidence: medium
There is direct evidence of a substantive 2025 project with Wilson Stuart School. The school is officially recorded in Perry Common, but the available evidence does not establish whether this is an ongoing programme beyond that project.
- Rotary Wylde Green, Working with Wilson Stuart School
On 25 June 2025, the club sponsored 24 Wilson Stuart School pupils to attend Rotary Fun Day and supported the school's enterprise project and minibus fundraising. - Birmingham City Council, Wilson Stuart School directory entry
Wilson Stuart School is listed in the Perry Common ward.
Stockland Green
Confidence: medium
The club recorded current-year support for a district special-needs cricket tournament held in Stockland Green. This is partnership-based and event-specific rather than evidence of a standing local service.
- Rotary Wylde Green, Completed meetings and events 2025-2026
On 11-12 May 2026, the club recorded that it supports each year the Rotary District Special Needs Indoor Cricket Tournament, hosted by Rotary Erdington at Action Indoor Sports in Stockland Green.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence supports a Sutton Coldfield-centred, multi-neighbourhood local identity, with occasional partnership-based activity beyond Sutton Coldfield; it does not support a conclusion that the club delivers services citywide across Birmingham.
- The charity's registered address in Sutton Coldfield should not be treated as an operational site because the available records establish it only as a contact address.
- The club's regular meeting venue, Sutton Coldfield Golf Club, is in Streetly, Walsall rather than within a supplied Birmingham ward; it therefore has not been recorded as a Birmingham operational area.
- International coverage is evidenced by the club's stated involvement in projects including humanitarian supplies, overseas schools and support for Ukraine. The scale, frequency and value of its individual overseas contributions are not clear from the available material.
- Several website gallery entries describe activities from 2023-2025. They demonstrate recent practice but do not by themselves prove that every named local partnership remains active in August 2026.
Additional evidence needed
- A current 2026-2027 service-project plan or annual report identifying active local grants, volunteering projects, beneficiary organisations and locations.
- Confirmation from the club of which Birmingham schools, foodbanks, community groups and venues it is actively supporting in the current Rotary year.
- Information distinguishing venues used occasionally for meetings or events from sites where the club has a continuing operational role or formal partnership.

Observations
A local gateway to wider charitable networks
The club appears to use its Wylde Green base to generate funds, volunteer effort and relationships that can support needs at several scales through Rotary. Its distinctive contribution may be connecting local civic participation with both nearby causes and international humanitarian priorities.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish the club from a place-based frontline charity: its value may lie in convening and redistributing local capacity across a wider network.

Grant-making rather than direct provision appears central
Available evidence suggests the club's charitable mechanism is principally to raise resources and make grants to people and organisations, rather than operating a defined ongoing service itself.
Why it matters
Understanding this operating model is important for potential partners: the club may be most useful as a funder, volunteer mobiliser or route into Rotary relationships, not as a specialist delivery agency.

Community participation may be as important as fundraising
The club appears to offer a social and civic participation structure in which members contribute time, organise events and support community projects. This may make it a source of volunteer capacity and local connection as well as charitable funding.
Why it matters
Its potential civic role may extend beyond money: organisations seeking volunteers, event partners or community advocates could find an accessible route through the club.

- How the club decides between local, national and international funding priorities.
- Whether its stated youth, education and environment interests are active local programmes or broader Rotary themes.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual reports, accounts and grant lists showing recipients, amounts and geographic distribution.
