This is our 37th year and we have in this time raised over £0.6million by doing activities such as Cyclothone, musical evenings, fashion shows, charity walks, sports events, gala nights, race nights, boat cruises, sponsoring dramas, and street collections.
The funds we have raised have been dispersed to local community projects, National and International Charity appeals.
We have also formed a new Club – Lions Club of Stanmore in 1997
