Activity reports and welfare.

As a fundraising charity, we aim to provide assistance to needy individuals from our own community and support the work of other charitable organisations within our local area. We also support the work of the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), which provides assistance to needy communities throughout the world. As the only service organisation Lions were uniquely able to channel assistance directly to the communities affected by the earthquake in China. For information on the work of Lions International foundation click on this link - LCIF.

We are a 'model club' in the Lions International sightfirst campaign. As a model club we have donated a total of £11,500 to this campaign in the last 3 years. To read more about the aims and achievements of the sightfirst campaign, click on this link - sightfirst

We support small local charities and local people.

In the financial year ending 30th June 2008 we have made donations totalling £20,398. The projects that we have supported with these funds are listed below.

We also participated with other lions clubs in the area to host an It's a knockout day for 8 local centres for adults with learning difficulties.

We operate a minibus, renewed in 2001, which is available to over 70 organisations in the Chichester area. This provides a low cost transport facility for hire to approved clubs and societies.

Dear Richard, John Robbins and I would both like to express our appreciation, on behalf of the Chichester Youth Adventure Trust, for the generous and timely donation of £1,000 towards our development programme at the Cottage and Bunkhouse in the Brecon Beacons. We enjoyed our visit to the Lions' meeting and appreciated the opportunity to give your members a "snap shot" of our work. We will certainly let you have some "before and after" photographs of how the money has been spent. Please thank all your members for their support. It is much appreciated. Yours, Mike Austin Chairman.
