Horwode Pece Project

Saving thousands of pounds to the school.

Winslow Scout Group

Members of the Lions lead by our President Simon Woodrow constructed a new fence to secure land passed to the Scouts for their use. By providing the materials AND the labour we were able to save the group over £ 3,500.

Thanks to the generosity of the folk of Winslow in providing the funds through their generous support.

Winslow Town Council Public Notice board

As commemoration of our 25th Year a donation to the Winslow Town Council to provide and erect a Public Notice Board.
A fitting place for all the 'Town folk' to publicise local events and to commemorate the years of service to the local community.

An Edukit is simply a school in a box. Each box contains essential equipment such as pencils, exercise books, teacher’s guides, posters, school bags, counting cubes, and a register. The resources can educate 80 children and the kits are individually prepared for use in specific circumstances; most often during times of conflict or in response to natural disasters.

Lions Street Children Appeal

Children from fragmenting families living in degrading slums, and isolated from normal life and surviving alone on the streets are incidental victims of poverty, environmental collapse, wars, parental death, AIDS, illness, abandonment or domestic violence. While children in perilous environments with minimal or no adult support have been documented both in the industrial and developing worlds for centuries the rapid urban growth from the 1950s has caused an unprecedented number of children to spend most of their childhood in stressed and vulnerable circumstances.

Libra Blood Research

LIBRA is the "Lions International Blood Research Appeal". It was founded in 1978 as a Charitable Trust on behalf of Lions Clubs in the SE of England. Its aim is to provide laboratory space and equipment at King's College Hospital in London, for research into, diagnosis and treatment of Haemophilia, Leukaemia, Thalassaemia and Sickle Cell Disease.
