Assistance with Funding of Sight Related Projects
Chichester Lions Club has a fund that can be called on by any Lions Club in the Multiple District (UK) to assist with a sight related activity. The fund has been built up by selling the gold reclaimed from frames of spectacles collected in the spectacle collections. All the spectacles collected on our annual Spectrek Day arrive at Chichester for initial sorting.
Some examples of how Chichester Club has helped other Clubs in the past are as follows:
Newark Lions Club: donation of £1,000 to the Lions Laser Appeal at Newark Hospital. They needed to raise £25,000.
Derby Lions Club: donation of £500 to their local ‘Talking Books'.
Matlock Derwent Valley Lions Club: donation of £725 to buy new equipment for their local Talking Newspapers.
The contact at Chichester Lions Club is Lion Sue Boucher who you can contact through their website www.chilions.org.uk.
