Christmas Float

Our Christmas float for 2009 raised just over £3,200.  Although down on previous years we continue to be encouraged by the generosity of people, especially in the current economic climate.  Local businesses supported us in our static displays and many people offered their help wih street collections in a wide area encompassing Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Motcombe, Mere, Zeals and Bourton.  We are particularly grateful for the use of a tractor to pull the float and the tractor drivers for their time.  Donations included awards for local organisations and 'Help for Heroes'.

Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
