Our Club Fundraising and Donations 2018 - 2019
One thing that is so unique, to Lions clubs, is that 100% of all monies raised goes to charitable causes; membership fees cover the day to day running of the club and global associates.
We run stalls at fetes, fairs and fun days with a teddy and game tombola, as well as selling 2nd hand books, gift baskets and knitted/crocheted items.
We also support other Lions clubs at their events, marshalling etc, as well as Witham & Maldon SWANS and Saffron Waldon Crocus Sapphires at their fundraising events.
April 2019 Mozambique appeal
A huge cyclone hit Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe in March 2019.

16th December 2018 St Peter's Hospital Cafe Quiz
At St Peter's Hospital in Maldon there is a CAFE that is run by Julie Taylor. She helps provide food for about 15 local families who desperately need help.
Yes local supermarkets provide a small quantity of food that is going out of date but she needs other items as 'just a little bit extra'.
She also helps senior single people to have a good solid meal at least once a day. for this she charges them a minimum fee but is pleased that at least they have someone to talk to and a warm meal inside them.
Our Club although well spread over EA and abroad held a quiz and raised £83-00 and with Lion Robyn Banks help (she works at Tesco's) managed to purchase all those extra little items in the picture.
