St John Rigby - The Interact Club (SJR TIC) was formed last year and is the first of its kind in Greater Manchester.

With Rotary support it is seen as an opportunity for young people to work as a collective to undertake at least two projects during the year – one with a focus on a local community issue and one that helps to promote international understanding.

Young people cam develop their skills in teamwork, leadership and communication, as well as working to promote causes and give something back to the local and wider international community.

The Orrell club’s first activity was to support the Rotary Club of Wigan with its Christmas Float and collections at Tesco.
