Welcome to Swanwick Lions
Our Christmas Sleigh Appeal in December was very successful, and the total we collected in donations was £3304. This will help our Welfare Funds to give support to the GENsNYC club in Locksheath, and to those in need in our community. Many thanks to everyone who donated, and to all our friends who helped us man the sleigh at the various locations and the evening street runs.
Also,our thanks to the management and staff of the following businesses where our static sleigh was located:-
Locksheath Shopping Centre, Makro Segensworth, Pickwell Farm,The Jolly Farmer, Strawberry Fields Tavern,
Tesco Whiteley, and Halfords Autocentre.
Our Christmas Tombola at the Strawberry Fields Tavern was a great success- thanks go to all the businesses and individuals who donated the fantastic array of prizes.
2017 was the Centenial Year for Lions Clubs, as the organisation was formed in Chicago in 1917. Since then, we have grown to be the worlds largest service organisation,with over 47,000 clubs spread over 200 countries. With this subtstantial membership, the organisation is able to carry out many worldwide projects, and provide disaster relief to affected countries. There are active programs in Diabetes,Hunger Relief, Pediatric Cancer,Vision, and the Environment, to name a few.
Although Lions Clubs are part of an international organisation, clubs primarily serve their local communities. If you know of anyone who needs assistance, where the official channels may have been exhausted, please contact us- we may be able to help.
