Rotary projects have local, national and international dimensions. The Rotary Club of Wicklow has a few prominent fundraising projects and community activities. The support of the public and business in these projects is very much appreciated. As well as funding activities the club has some "hands on" projects to assist the local community. Clubs look at their local communities' needs and run projects that they feel will best benefit those around them.
