Our Club Fundraising and Donations 2021 - 2022
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.
