ROC WELCOME CLUB (PREVIOUSLY TRURO GATEWAY CLUB) We have worked closely with this club over the years since it was formed in 1984.  We always look forward to cooking their barbeque, each July, almost as much as the members enjoy eating the food prepared!  We also help by supplying and manning the registration tent for their ROC 5K race in June, one of their major annual fundraisers.  http://www.roc-uk.org/news/roc-welcome-club-truro-annual-bbq

Collections can be arranged.  Please phone 0345 833 5824 or email trurolions@hotmail.co.uk

CUDDLY TOY STALLS Formerly Teddy Bears, but latterly cuddly Lions, this has been one of our best fund raisers throughout the last 45 years.  For many years the stall has been run by Colin and Hilda Powell and they have become well known at various venues in the Truro and Roseland area.
