Whalley and District Lions continue to hold various functions throughout the year to raise charitable funds. These were donated to charity causes both in the local community, national and internationally.
Whalley Day now in its 4[th] year is held during Heritage Open Weekend in September. It is a traditional event with stalls, food, entertainment and games. Local groups including churches are also involved with the aim of bringing the whole community together. The event raised £2,142 after expenses.

An international donation was made to Lions Clubs International Foundation of £260 for domestic ovens for displaced people in Ukraine.
Volunteer members supported Whalley in Bloom, The Flood Action Group, and Clitheroe Food Festival. The Club was also involved with the National Garden Scheme weekend which took place in Whalley and the surrounding area.
We continue to organise Easter events for children, an afternoon tea and Christmas meal for our local older residents, village clean ups and monthly coffee mornings. This year we also acquired an allotment. The club continues to collect spectacles and pill blister packs for recycling and continues to distribute Lions Message in a Bottle program.
The charity account total income of £14,849 includes £8,895 donation received from Whalley Flood Action Group when it disbanded and the rest of the income was raised through Whalley Day (mentioned above), grants/donations, book sales, coffee mornings and street collections.
The club account total income of £4,946 is from membership fees and events identified as non-charitable. The membership fees were used to pay membership subscriptions to Lions District/Multi District and International.
