Lions donate to Hope for Tomorrow

Forest of Dean Lions Club recently received an urgent request for help from Hope For Tomorrow who run a mobile cancer care unit in our area:

We are already seeing a huge reduction in our income, with fundraising events, corporate events and fundraising challenge events having to be cancelled. We are a charity that totally relies on voluntary donations as we don’t receive any GOVERNMENT FUNDING. We urgently need your help.
Our approach of delivering cancer care closer to patients has never been more important than now, sparing patients and their families’ trips to hospital, which could put them at risk. We are living through unprecedented times and this new virus poses a huge risk to already vulnerable cancer patients during their treatment.

Forest Lions therefore applied for a grant from a Lions Club International COVID Emergency fund and successfully received £1000 on their behalf.  The funds were immediately transferred on to Hope for Tomorrow.

Lions Speech House Car Boot Sale, May 2019

Many thanks to the Sellers, Buyers, Browsers and especially our Helpers at the Lions Speech House, May 2019 car boot sale.
What great weather we had and what a massive turn-out in this beautiful location.
We are very grateful to Mr and Mrs Hands of the Speech House Hotel for the use of the field, which was in first class condition for the boot sale.

Car Boot Sale – BUYERS

The Lions Speech House Car Boot Sale is run by volunteers. After covering the costs (mainly the toilets and advertising) all the money made goes back into the local community.

We therefore suggest a donation from buyers of £1 per car. If you have no change when you drive in, please drop the donation in a collecting bucket later.

Please park as directed by the parking stewards.
