About District 4
Our District covers an area of 11,903 km and has 22 clubs which are distributed from the North Yorkshire Moors, to the east coast and the Derbyshire and Lancashire borders. It’s often referred to as “Gods own County “and includes the six cities and towns of Bradford, Leeds, Ripon, Wakefield, York and Harrogate Town.
Other places of interest include Fountains Abbey, the National Railway Museum, Yorkshire Mining Museum and Sculpture Park and Saltaire a UNESCO world heritage village.
In other words, something for everyone.

District Chairman
District Chairman Jennifer Angus
Welcome
Greetings to All D4 Inner Wheel Members and well done those of you who are taking on officers’ roles this year.
I am happy and honoured to be your District Chairman for the forthcoming year and look forward to meeting you all in due course. It would be most helpful if you could let me know your dates of Charters and when you want me to visit your club so that I can update my diary. My charity for the year will be the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
I hope you all have an enjoyable and fruitful Inner Wheel year.
Yours in friendship
Jennifer Angus
Who we support
Our District Charity this year is Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Mission Statement
To provide, deliver and develop with integrity, transparency and pride, state-of-the-art emergency response air ambulances for the protection of human life across Yorkshire and its environs.
Our air ambulance helicopters fly seven days a week, 365 days a year. One helicopter flies with a crew consisting of a highly experienced Pilot, a qualified Technical Crew Member (TCM), a Consultant Doctor with experience in A&E with a specialism in Anaesthesiology, and two Specialist Critical Care Paramedics. The other helicopter flies with a highly experienced Pilot, a qualified TCM and two Specialist Critical Care Paramedics. Together, they form a highly skilled team that responds to those in urgent need or emergency care, starting their specialised treatment at the scene of an incident before they are transported to an appropriate major trauma centre or another hospital for further medical care.
Support will also be given to President Pam’s charity of Ronald McDonald House Charites
International charity for the coming year is Mary’s Meals
There is gender inequality in education around the world, but by providing daily meals in school, we remove one hugely significant barrier for girls, giving them opportunities that they otherwise may not have.
