Being a Lions Club means we are quite unique in who we can offer support or help to – which is anyone. We help individuals, families, organisations, clubs, societies and other charities.

For data protection reasons, we cannot list all of the individual donations and amounts made but to give a sample of just some the causes or type of help we are able to offer, some examples are listed below:
