All good things come to an end...
With great regret, Wirral Lions Club has decided to close at the end of the current Lions year on 30 June 2024. This decision has not been easy but is based on the reduced number of members and the age profile of those who remain, which make it increasingly difficult to complete fundraising activities.
We undertook our last Santa runs as planned and we thank the residents of those areas for their generosity as always. Be assured that all the money raised will go to really deserving causes. We have handed our Santa sleigh to the 7th Bebington Scouts who, with the aid of other groups, will be bringing Santa round the area next Christmas and raising funds for good causes.
We will not be operating our Bedding Plant Sale in 2024 and we have closed down our spectacle collections and the Message in a Bottle scheme.
Our final donations are listed on our "Where does your money go?" page opposite.
We would like to thank the people of Wirral, and particularly our regular supporters, for their generosity over the years, which has enabled us to provide funds to a wide range of good causes, mainly in the local area but also some further afield. In the 55 years of its existence, it is estimated that Wirral Lions have raised around £800,000 for charity at present day values, as well as providing practical help in so many different ways.
Thank you, the public, for your kindness, support and generosity.
