Rotary Watches UK Support And Raise Money For Chelsea Pensioners.
With the support of Chelsea FC’s Gary Cahill, Rotary donated watches to the Chelsea Pensioners.
Rotary watches UK have always been a huge supporter of charity organisations. Chelsea Pensioners are the latest to benefit, and they were delighted to accept 10 Rotary watches on behalf of the Royal Hospital Chelsea and to get the chance meet Gary Cahill (England and Chelsea).
“I’ve watched Gary play over the years, and so I feel very privileged to have met him. I think it’s marvelous that he has taken the time to visit us and to present us with these classic timepieces thanks to the generosity of Rotary watches.” said Chelsea Pensioner Steve.
Some of Chelsea Football Club’s most long standing loyal fans gathered at the Royal Hospital’s library to meet the club captain. The Pensioners loved getting the chance to speak to Gary and ensured that plenty of photographs and autographs were taken throughout the day! Cahill was then led by Chelsea Pensioners, Steve Lovelock, Jo Shortall and Tony Hunter on a short tour of the Royal Hospital’s historic site. This was then followed by a formal presentation of the 10 Rotary watches, in the iconic Figure Court, which Rotary watches UK had happily donated to support the fantastic cause.
A Rotary watch spokesperson said: “We had an incredible time with Gary Cahill meeting and learning about the Chelsea Pensioners: all of whom were in great spirits, warm and engaging. We hope the 10 Rotary watches that we have donated will help raise funds for this incredible cause!”
Gary Cahill added: “It was an honour to meet the Chelsea Pensioners and to be shown their beautiful home. There was great banter all round and I enjoyed talking to the veterans about their Army experiences and of course, their love of football! I have deep respect for those who sacrifice so much for our country and I’m glad that I, along with Rotary watches, can support these well-deserving veterans.”
A British designed brand, with over 120 years heritage, Rotary is happily supporting the Royal Hospital Chelsea by donating 10 of their watches which were taken from from their latest collections (Ultra Slim, Cambridge & Windsor). These watches are now going to be auctioned off to raise money for the Royal Hospital.
Rotary also released a WWI Centenary Watch to support the Royal British Legion to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, where at least £12.50 ex VAT was being donated to charity, supporting a fantastic cause. The watch has also proved to be really popular, and is still available to buy right now! Just click here!
