SANTA'S SLEIGH COLLECTIONS

Thank you to all the generous people of Kettering who donated to our Santa Collections over the festive period. A bit thanks to Kettering Women's Institute, Tesco Kettering and Barton Seagrave Community Centre. Santa and his Lions helpers are very grateful for those donations, raising over £2000 this year via the Santa Sleigh events. This helps us to support local causes and we provided £400 each to the following food banks: Irthlingborough Food Bank, The Shack Food Project , Kettering Food Bank, Home Start, KCU, Highfield Barnes Foodbank, St

We're looking forward to helping the British Legion with their Poppy Appeal again this year. Kettering Lions are helping this worthy cause by selling poppies and other charity merchandise throughout late October, early November in Tesco Kettering.

CHARTER DINNER

We recently had our annual Charter Dinner at the Ritz Desborough. Kettering Lions welcomed Lions members from friends and neighbouring clubs as well as other distinguished guests. We were honoured to receive former Mayor of Kettering Emily Fedorowycz who gave a fascinating talk on her time as Mayor and ongoing involvement in community service work.
