In addition to supporting Calne Foodbank with a monthly donation, a donation towards premium products for this year’s Christmas food parcels was made.
We have helped Kids Cancer Charity by donating respite break funds to enable two local Calne families who have children with cancer to go on a much needed break. This is the response from the Kids Cancer Charity:
“ You’re helping the children and families that we support in Calne. I think you are All Truly Amazing. Thank you so much. Your donation will help children with cancer and their families, people you’ve never met, people who will always be grateful to you for caring enough to make a difference to their lives.”
The Open Blue Trust bring their mobile community bus to 8 communities, which includes a youth drop-in for Calne on Fridays. They requested jackets for their workers and volunteers with that will keep them warm and dry during the winter, which Calne, Chippenham and Devizes Lions were very happy to donate towards.
“We are very grateful to the Lions of Calne, Chippenham and Devizes for their generosity in awarding the funding. Thank you. “
Julia’s House Children’s Hospice wanted to purchase an LED light panel, which the Club were very happy to fund. They commented as follows:
“As you know, the children that we care for at Julia’s House have lots of varying sensory needs, so the panel will be well loved when children visit the hospice.”
“This resource would help to promote calmness, focus and sensory exploration for our children of all ages.”
Family Action (Mill Race) Calne Lions donated money towards the disco for their Christmas party.
