Supporters, Giving, Sponsorship, Advertising & Charity
There are a number of ways that the community supports the work that we undertake. The First of these is through membership of the 200 club which supplements the main fund raising events. The Second is through the Lions giving website. The Third is through direct sponsorship of the events and the Fourth is through businesses taking advertising for our many fund raising events. The Club has CIO status and the Charity Commission Reference Number is 1179721.

With the arrival of Coronavirus we have had to adjust the location and process by which the draws take place. One was to have been done at May Fair but sadly we were unable to run it this year. So we took the draw to one of our Lions homes and keeping the required distance the pictures show the draw being undertaken. We then needed to do the same for the July and October draws.
