Weymouth Rotary has begun distribution of monies raised from 2025’s successful Fayre In The Square to local charities.
Horse Course, is one of the recipients, after requesting funding to build a paddock for new rescued horses. The charity provides contact for nervous and troubled children primarily, but anyone is welcome to apply.
Street Pastors also received a share of the FITS funds. The trained volunteers from local churches patrol on Friday and Saturday nights between 10pm to 4am around Weymouth Town Centre. They aim to care for, listen to and help people who are out on the streets – and say the donation will be used for water, snacks, ‘flip flops’ and clothes to those in need.
Richard Burgess from Weymouth Rotary said “It is great to be able to not only support a real variety of local organisations but also to be able to share the great work these organisations do for our local community. Keep an eye out for details regarding the other organisations that your donations at Fayre In The Square will help to support’”.
