Lions clubs across the North East share ideas on fundraising and serving their communities. Lion Ian visited Sunderland Lions CIO for their club meeting last night to hear about their latest activities and share what Darlington Lions have been doing recently. Both clubs have organised Prostate Cancer checks for close to 400 men in the past few months and supported many different local charities, community groups, sports clubs and individuals. Ian is pictured (centre) with Lion Ethan to his right and Lion Jackie to his right. 😀
