A sum of £800 raised at our Quiz Night, and donated to Kent Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance and The Nepal Earthquake Appeal and most recently, started the promotion of our Swimarathon 2016, which is in aid of two local charities, namely the Butterfly Project and The Hop Skip and Jump Centre.

Christmas is getting ever closer and being a ‘season of goodwill’, Horsham Lions are setting out to help the elderly, and needy families within our Horsham Community by providing, with the support of our Community Partners, Christmas food parcels and presents for children within those families.
