​It's been a busy six months for the Wetherby Lions as we continue to work with and support local people and communities in the Wetherby area.

 

Fundraising has been fun with our annual 'Big Biz Quiz' seeing local businesses compete against each other for a much coveted trophy, Santa and his sleigh bringing Christmas cheer to many children in Wetherby and our very popular 'Dickensian Christmas Market.

 

Most of the funds we raise have supported local groups, such as the Wetherby Junior Rugby League who purchased some new equipment, the Wetherby Musical Theatre Group and Boston Spa Community and Homeless Project.  We also give grants to individuals and have supported a family to go on holiday at the Lions Caravan in Filey.

 

We recognise that we are very fortunate to be living in Wetherby and, through Lions International, have sent funds to those affected by the hurricane in Jamaica and to a national charity, Prostate Cancer UK.

 

Being a Lion is about service to the community but also about having fun and working together as a team.  We are always looking to welcome new Lions and helpers.  If you would like to join us or to find out more please do get in touch.
