Rotary Clubs to benefit from Dorset funeral group fundraising
Douch Family Funeral Directors raised £4,000 which will be divided between Wimborne Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Gros Islet.
A Dorset Funeral Group has raised funds for Rotary Clubs in memory of Peter Douch, the chairman of Douch Family Funeral Directors.
Wimborne Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Gros Islet in St Lucia will share the £4,000 pot.
Peter, who died two years ago, was a keen Rotarian and was a member of the Wimborne Club and the club in St Lucia, the island where his wife is from.
Last year, Douch Family Funeral Directors – which includes seven branches in east Dorset – did a series of fundraisers.
These included a walk up Scafell Pike and Mount Snowdon, quiz nights and sales of items including knitwear.
Wimborne Rotary President Sue Young said: “It is our 75th anniversary this year and Peter was a valued member of Wimborne Rotary for more than 30 years. We miss him greatly.
“We are thrilled to receive this cheque which will be put to good use helping local people facing hardship.”
Nick Douch, Peter’s son who now runs the family business, said: “My father was a very keen Rotarian and would visit Rotary clubs wherever he went.”
