Chorley and Leyland Lions Club Trustees Annual Report for the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 Amongst other activities the Club has continued with our fundraising. This has been a challenging year in many aspects with some of our usual events cancelled due to adverse weather. The Club continues to look for new opportunities. Our 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. 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, St. Catherines Shop and Chorley's Angels (First Aid team). Our charity donations have included international appeals including support for Ukraine Appeals. At our annual Presentation Evening we gave a range of donations including two local foodbanks, and local charities including Tender Nursing Care,SLEAP, Sporting Memories, Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Miles of Smiles and Brain Tumour Research. We have also provided financial support for individuals for example members of youth organisations attending international events. 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 continued and a number of boxes have been sent to the Lions International UK collection point. David A.
