Fund Raising

Witham & District Lions Club raises money for charity in many ways. We have stalls in our local shopping centre and attend other organisations functions etc school fetes, Lions events,

Each year we arrange an Easter Egg draw in our town of Witham whereby draw tickets are issued to various locations where we supply an Easter egg and they draw for the winner. This brings us in around £600 for our Charity Account.

In July of each year we link up and assist the Witham Carnival at the procession start area. The Carnival raises money for local organisations in the town.

A local public house runs a Christmas raffle each year that raises approximately £250.

At Christmas time we have our Santa’s Grotto that brings in between £800 to £1000.
