Morpeth Lions Club

We are a service organisation. We raise money for local, national and international charities. We provide practical help where requested.

We organise fund raising events to facilitate fund raising for other charities where they may be too small to arrange their own e.g. raffles.

We provide a party with entertainment for the local elderly and disabled, usually at the end of November. We fund and distribute food parcels and presents to the elderly and to disadvantaged families. We provide Christmas presents for disadvantaged children and Families in crisis. We also provide holidays for families in crisis or in need of respite .

ALL funds raised for charity go to charity, we pay our own administration expenses.

• Monday, December 13, 2010 - Cash in a Can: The Lions will be inviting customers of Morrisons to contribute cash towards their Christmas Charity events. They will purchase food items from Morrisons and distribute these to the elderly and needy throughout the Borough. They will also purchase, wrap and deliver presents for children in care or within families experiencing difficult times. In 2009 they distributed 263 food parcels with a value of about £13 each parcel; they provided presents for 101 children in 40 families. The collection will take place each day Monday to Saturday week commencing the 13th December. The Lions used to ask customers to contribute tins of food - the event was then called "Tin in a Bin".
