TRUSTEES REPORT 2024-2025 – BURNLEY LIONS CLUB (CIO)
Trustees remained the same this year.
Members distributed 16 Easter eggs to raise funds, and they manned a stall at the Rotarians’ Classic Car Show.
Lions obtained 420 whips from the Woodland Trust and assisted ‘Trees for Burnley’, Council employees and other volunteers to plant them and another 300 trees provided by Burnley Council.
Lions packed a total of 3,720 pairs of used spectacles for recycling through the Lions’ program to be reused in developing countries.
Furniture, bedding, white goods, and a wheelchair puller were provided, and a large contribution made towards purchasing a vandalised disability scooter, benefiting several people in need.
222 'Message in a Bottle' containers were distributed, mostly to elderly recipients.
Work started on organising the club’s third exhibition ‘Sight and Sound’ for the visually and hearing impaired for October 2025 with sixteen stalls already booked.
Members continue to run the Burnley Macular Society Support Group for those suffering from macular degeneration, providing monthly opportunities to meet others with the same condition, receive information from service providers and enjoy some entertainment and outings.
