Welcome to Adelaide Light

Putting Christmas cheer into homes and smiles on faces for many years, Adelaide Light Rotary is again selling Christmas trees at Bunnings, Kent Town. Only $89 each weekend from 4th December for that lovely fresh pine smell that signals an Aussie Christmas.

Recent migrants wishing to smoothly assimilate into Adelaide society chat with well established local Rotarians to speed up their 'belonging' feeling.  It's one Saturday morning a month and in between via our 'What's App' network. 

We're helping 'Fred's Van' feed the homeless... prepare the food, then drive the van into the city and distribute it to those in need. Recycled blankets, warm clothes and other items are also welcome during the cold winter months. 

Facilitating dental rescue for Adelaide’s homeless. We helped donate $11,000 for vital dental equipment so those with urgent dental needs but insufficient funds can get relief via the Adelaide University's dental facility at 'Common Ground' in Light Square

Building a pergola and landscaping Women's Shelters. 'Catherine House' offers crisis/longer term accommodation and support for women experiencing distress and homelessness.  Our hands-on working bees enhance the outside garden appeal of their properties.

Our last landscaping working bees established and maintained appealing backyard gardens for several properties.  This encourages spending quality time outside to enjoy nature and quietly replenish one's soul in the sunshine.

For many years we've funded over $50,000 for talented students after their schooling runs out through TAFE-like courses in Bogota, Colombia.  This helps them realise their potential and then upskill their own community in a positive cycle of improvement.

'Share the Dignity' is a womens charity helping those experiencing period poverty by providing products in everyday useful bags for those women in need. Members above assembled many 'dignity bags' and 'made a difference'.

Portals for a health facility rise amid tropical rain. Several years ago, we sent Rotarians to the Solomon Islands to work with the locals on building a facility used to manage tropical diseases.  We may soon focus on East Timor.
