Litter Picking

The club has been involved in litter picking activities since late 2021 in various locations around Bolton. The last two carried out mid 2022 have been at Crompton Way near the Health Centre, and at Sunnyside Park where we also carried out some gardening activities aided by pupils of Bolton School and some of their parents.

Market Place Shop

During the months of October, November and December the club was offered the opportunity of a free shop at Bolton Market Place. This was used to advertise Lions activities such as Message in a Bottle and the spectacles recycling scheme and provision was made for members of the public to donate used spectacles. From November onwards it was also used to promote our Toy Appeal, and the public were able donate toys for the appeal at the shop. The shop was manned on Friday's and Saturday's by members of the club and pupils from Bolton School whose support was very much appreciated. The shop was a great success and when offered an extension from January to the end of March the club quickly took up the option.

It was decided that there should be a theme for each month. In January it was recycling. In February it centred on Valentines day and members of the public were invited to write a message to their Valentine fo a small donation. These messages were displayed upon a heart shaped hanger. In March the theme will be based upon Green projects.
