It is with  an awful lot of disappointment and sadness that Santa will not be able to visit his local areas this year. The Covid-19 pandemic has taken it’s toll on so many different areas of our daily life and Santa is no exception.

Whilst we are unable to make the usual visits we do still have a way that you can help your local charities and we have set up a JustGiving page at http://bit.ly/santassleigh2020 for those of you that would like to donate. All money received will be distributed to local charities and we thank you for your continued support.

The #LCIFLions grant provides immediate support for this emergency service that touches lives in all our communities. Equipment and supplies were identified by air ambulance charities themselves. The total £161,468 (covered by the grant) includes separation screens, isolation, and decontamination equipment as well as PPE and other supplies. Research by @LionsClubsBritishIsles and @airambulancesuk revealed the impact of #COVID19 on air ambulance charities meant considerable extra, unbudgeted – day to day costs alongside a reduction in fundraising. Local #Lions clubs have continued to support their communities facing difficulties due to COVID-19. This latest boost for air ambulance charities comes on top of £140,000 awarded in grants to food banks and other causes nominated by Lions clubs across the British Isles.

It is with sadness that we have to announce that we will be unable to do our annual plant sales this year.

The current climate is such that we cannot put you or ourselves at risk.

That does not mean that you cannot contact us if you need support or help.
