We will be making this annual bucket collection at the circuit on August Bank Holiday Monday for Wiltshire & Bath Air Ambulance.

The public have been very generous to this cause in the past so If you see us shaking buckets, please greet us happily and give bounteously.

We have a new President. It's all change at the top.

The 1st of July marks the start of a new Lions year and brings with it a change of leadership. To mark the occasion we have a Changeover Dinner with chains of office being passed onwards and this year Richard Adams succeeds Derek Angell as our President.

Every year the President choses his/her charities to support and this year President Richard has chosen two charities:

Doorway who are based in Chippenham and who offer a safe, warm and friendly space providing support and advice for rough sleepers and those in urgent need. They collaborate with local statutory services and other local organisations and groups to provide help with crisis support and to improve the chances of people finding and keeping long-term accommodation.

And Wiltshire Sight who hold monthly support sessions for people with sight problems in both Chippenham and Corsham. These number around 180 blind and partially sighted people. These sessions offer practical advice, and friendship, and the opportunity to meet others who understand the challenges of living with sight loss.

The club will, of course, also continue to support other local charities and you can see how we donated our funds in previous years by going to the Community Service menu item on our website.

From Waste Not Want Not.

We are thrilled to have secured a grant of £1,500 from the Chippenham Lions Club towards our Fresh Start programme.

Last night our Charity Manager Annalisa, attended the Chippenham Lions Club presentation evening and, along with another twenty-four local charities and voluntary groups received the wonderful news.

Over the past 12 months, through their fundraising events, the Chippenham Lions have raised £40,000 for local causes! What an incredible achievement.

We are incredible grateful to the Lions for their hard work and dedication in supporting our local community.

If you would like to support one of their fundraising events, the Lions are looking for volunteers for their Carol Float which runs from 1st December to 20th December. Anyone interested please contact [email protected]
