We have an active fundraising committee who are always seeking new ways to raise monies in support of our various local and international projects. Some of our key event successes are detailed below.
We are always seeking sponsoring for our events so if you think you could help please visit our 'Events' page or contact us at fundraising@readinglions.org.uk
We have several key fundraising events throughout the year:
- You may well have seen (or rather heard) our Santa's Sleigh around the streets of Reading. More...
- We have a catering caravan that we take to local community events. We are able to provide hot and cold drinks, burgers , bacon rolls and hot dogs. Its a great way to raise funds, have some fun and increase public awareness of Lions activities.
- We hold Chocolate Santa raffles each year, selling tickets at local pubs, corner shops and community centres. Our Easter Egg Raffle is also a great success.
- We organise Charity Quiz Nights, Charity Race Nights and Grand National Video afternoons.
- Our annual Firework Extravaganza in November is a great fundraiser. More...
- We have organised Tribute Music Nights.
