BT20/Community Services

Blantyre 20’s community services, have traditionally been to help organizations that assist those less fortunate in our community, BT 20’s aim in its community service activities is to see that all the help they provide assists not one individual but a whole community.

Below are some of BT 20’s community services in 2005

Built by the early Blantyre 20 pioneers, the physiotherapy unit at the Queen Elizabeth Central hospital in Blantyre was named in honour of the founder of Round Table and is called “Louis Marchesi Physiotherapy Unit”.
