Rotary clubs local to us in West Yorkshire have long been fabulous supporters of our cause, inviting co-founder and chair Christine Beal to their meetings as a speaker, where she explains the facts about mitochondrial disease, as well as the importance of mitochondrial research for everybody’s well-being.

Christine is open to travelling (reasonably far!) to give talks on mito to any Rotary clubs, ladies’ groups, organisations or businesses- an offer open to anybody who has an audience! Just get in touch.

As the result of one of these talks, we are delighted to announce that Brighouse-based Emma’s Mito Mission have partnered with Brighouse Rotary, as their charity of the year! This means that the majority of funds raised by their group this Rotary year (from July 2024 to June 2025) will go towards our vital cause.

The Rotary have a variety of promising ideas in the works for the rest of the year, including a Quiz night in early 2025. We are so excited to be working with Brighouse Rotary to raise awareness in our local community, and funds for support & research.

We have also been invited to host a stand at their District Conference in October, where we will be able to raise awareness and garner support for our cause. We will be joined there by Eddie’s Mito Mission, who have links with Rotary!

Why not get in touch with your local Rotary club or similar organisations and ask if they’ll support our cause? There are so many ways they could help, and if you’d like any guidance on liaising with them, or ideas, or just for a chat, just give us a ring on 0300 102 1112, or write us an email at contact@mymitomission.uk.

Look out for updates throughout the year on our partnership!

Thank you to all at Brighouse Rotary, and especially to Simon, Tony & David for their support.
