£700 has been pledged to help local scout groups and additional money given to help improve Bushy Wood scout camp.£250 has been given to aid the Newtown Action group to replace a bench in Selby Meadow community garden, which has been damaged by vandals.A donation has been given to Crowborough ‘Mens’ Shed’.Lion president Graham Baldwin presented a cheque for £2,000 to the Bevern Trust, based at BarcombeIn addition, Uckfield & District Lions recently organised a grand Easter Egg raffle to raise funds for the trust. Club president Graham Baldwin said: ‘the public have once again been very generous & 19 people have been very pleased to win a large chocolate egg. Despite the increase in chocolate prices, we still managed to raise £1,512.42 for the Bevern trust. We would like to thank all the participants, especially the clubs & pubs who ran the competition.
We hope these 2 donations will help the trust in their vital work of providing a home for disabled adults in our community.’
