The Rotary Club of Bath first ran the Bath Festival of Motoring in 2012 to raise funds for buying Wizzybugs for the Bath Institute of Medical Engineering (BIME) now retitled Designability.

Wizzybugs have powered wheelchairs for children under 5 and as a result of the efforts of the Rotary Club and the continuation of annual Festivals of Motoring, the public and national profile of the Wizzybug was elevated and £250 000 was raised.

More recently other local charities The Rotary Club of Bath have supported include:

Time2Share – offering volunteer befriending services and group activities to young disabled people and their families in Bristol, Bath and NE Somerset

Freewheelers EVS – a voluntary motorcycle fleet that offers an out-of-hours, free-of-charge courier service to the NHS, transporting blood and other essential medical supplies.

All in all, Bath Festival of Motoring is a Fantastic Family Day Out
