The Aldridge & District Lions Club has received a share of £100,000 from the Lions Clubs Foundation of the British Isles. Lions Clubs across the British Isles have benefited from a special fund launched to support local communities during the COVID-19 crisis.
Aldridge & District Lions Club with the aid of this fund matched grant have now donated £1000 to support the Food Bank at the “Thomas Project” Aldridge. This will enable them to purchase items to supplement their stock as and when requiredat this critical time.
Lion President Harry Frysaid: “This is a significant sum of money that we are putting to good use straightaway. This Coronavirus pandemic is hurting lots of local people in lots of different ways - just because we are all social distancing doesn’t stop us from caring - we are doing what we can, and this cash injection will help us do more.”
When a humanitarian crisis strikes, the Lions Clubs Foundation of the British Isles works with and are guided by their own Lions members who are ordinary people actively working at the heart of their communities.
