Happy New Year to everyone.
December is such a busy time for everyone who start with great plans for wonderful
celebrations throughout the final month of the old year. I don't think I've ever been
completely successful with planning any Christmas but I think, well, there is always next year
During December West Norwich Lions bought £500 worth of long life food (tins and
packs) of foodstuffs supplying the local Food Bank in time for Christmas. In January
there will be £500 worth of food vouchers distributed to those in need with our best
wishes via Food Bank. We also donated £1000 to Future Projects in Knowland Grove,
then helped pack hampers of Christmas food and were part of the team delivering them.
West Norwich Lions of course, start planning for the collection of charitable donations
outside shops well before December but the actual events can cause headaches at
times. People are so generous and the young children thrilled to see Father Christmas
which make all the effort worthwhile. It won't be until our next newsletter that I will be
able to tell you our final grand total and who will benefit from your kindness.

Welcome again to our club news. The weather has been rather cold as I write this and there has also been a lot of illness about, so we do hope that you are keeping well and safe
So how did we get on with our Christmas collections. We are very pleased to say that in total over all of our collection sites we raised a total of £4,401 and at Roy's we collected £1,153. So a big thank you from all the members of West Norwich Lions for supporting us. It was especially lovely that when we were at Roy's you stopped and chatted to us, it certainly made the time go. When we were collecting we were certainly made very aware of the number of people who are affected by Dementia, be it a family member or friend. We will be passing the money we raised on to local Dementia charities and Keeping Abreast
Also through the collections we have during the year we were also able to support our local Food Bank and the Baseline Centre at Knowland Grove. Some of our members were also privileged to help out on the day they delivered the Christmas Hampers, a very satisfying morning.
Now we get on to our next fund raising collection and we need your help. Does your charity, group, club, need any help with funding? Be it for something that will help your group improve, or anything that will benefit your members. The Lions club like to serve the local community and we are happy to put on Race Nights, Quizzes or have a bucket collection to help you raise money. If you think we can help in any way please contact our Secretary on the number below.
I know we are now in February so it may seem a little late, but the members of West Norwich Lions would like to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year 2025.
