Members of the Rye & Winchelsea Rotary Club were at the Hub on Rye Hill planting purple crocuses as part of Rotary’s campaign to #EndPolioNow. The colour purple is used to mark the child’s finger once they have been vaccinated.
The Hub will also be lit in purple over the coming weekend in recognition of world polio day on October 24, along with St Thomas’ church in Winchelsea. Our thanks go to both organisations for their ongoing support of their local Rotary club. Club president Gareth Mitchell said “There are now a number of sites in our community planted with purple crocus as part of Rotary campaign to end polio, including Valley Park, East Guldeford and now the Hub on Rye Hill”.
