On Thursday October 24th, World Polio Day, members of Rotary Lowestoft East Point accompanied by a class of children from Phoenix St.Peter Primary Academy and The Friends of Kensington Gardens planted 8000 purple crocus corms.

The school took away over 100 corms to plant in their very own Forest School.

Rotary Clubs throughout the world support the project “End Polio Now” by supplying vaccines to those areas of the world still subject to the disease. Increased cases of Polio have been identified in those areas subjected to human deprivation such as Afghanistan and Gaza. Through the project “ End Polio Now” it is the desire of Rotary to rid the world of this disease.
