Chorley and Leyland Lions Club 

Trustees Annual Report for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023 

Leyland and Cuerden Valley Lions Club and Chorley Lions Club merged on 29 October 2022 to form Chorley and Leyland Lions Club. 

The Administrative and Charity bank accounts of the two Clubs have been consolidated into the accounts of the former Leyland and Cuerden Valley accounts. 

Fundraising has taken place principally through events such as tombola stalls at local fetes and markets and pub hamper raffles at Christmas and Easter. The Club has also received donations following providing assistance to other organisations most notably Round Table for help at their local bonfire and Heskin Steam Fayre (part of transferred Chorley funds). 

Aid and assistance provided to others has also recommenced including health and safety supervision at community bonfire displays, and support for St Catherines Hospice by providing volunteers at their events. Members also volunteer individually for example at Galloways Home for the Blind. 

Our charity donations have included international appeals including the Turkey earthquake Appeal and support for Ukraine  At our annual Presentation Evening we gave a range of donations including three local foodbanks, and local charities including NW Air Ambulance Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, CRY, Danny's Club and Rory's Box (both associated with Derian House the local Children's Hospice). 

The Club has continued to actively promote the Lions Message in a Bottle emergency healthcare scheme and distributed these at events and at local access points. The collection of used spectacles for recycling to third world countries has also been recommenced and a number of boxes have been sent to the Lions International UK collection point.
