Welcome to Swanwick Lions
A Happy New Year !!!!!!
Many thanks to everyone to donated to our Christmas charity collection. We have raised over £2,000, which will be used to support the Hamble Lifeboat, the Locksheath Day Care Centre, and our general Lions charity funding throughout 2019.
We could not have achieved this without the help of the many friends who gave their time to be out with Santa and the sleigh, so thank you to you all.
Also thanks to the management and staff of the Locksheath Shopping Centre, Tesco Store Whiteley, Makro Segensworth, Alexandras Restuarant Deacons Boatyard, The Strawberry Fields Tavern Locksheath, Sarisbury Cricket Club, and Pickwell Farm.
More detail will be published in the New Year as we finalise how we will appropriate our funds.
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.
