Shepshed Lions Update

Article by Lynn Jackson

Shepshed Lions ‘slayed’ it again this year (see what I did there!) with ferrying Santa around Shepshed for 11 nights before Christmas. We would like to THANK the whole town for their generosity and good will. With the money collected we will be able to help many more people in Shepshed. We hope the children enjoyed meeting Santa and of course Mrs Claus as well.

Because the people of Shepshed have helped us raise much needed funds we have been able to help many people and organisations lately. We were able to donate to Wild Life Cheer which is Shepshed’s Gymnastic Cheer Leading Group, via Elevate Elite, to help their own fundraising for their trip to Florida to compete in The Varsity Summit this April, the most prestigious competition for their age group and level, competing against teams from all over the world. This was after competing in Amsterdam and coming first. We also gave our annual donation to The Loughborough branch of the Salvation Army and Shepshed Food bank.The Cancer Support Club at the Glenmore Centre have received a contribution too amongst other donations we were able to give.

We shall be putting our large Easter Eggs in the local pubs again so don’t forget to choose your number to win a real big chocolate feast!

We are beginning to organise this year’s Carnival and invite local people and businesses to get in touch if they would like a stall at this, the largest community event in Shepshed every year.

Please remember that we are here to help and if we are not told, we can’t do that. So if YOU or anyone you know needs help, physically or financially please write us a letter and we WILL consider the request (we cannot guarantee that all requests will be successful - our resources are finite). If YOU would like to help us help you, and would like to join us or The Fosl’s, please e mail lynnjac19@gmail.com.

All that it remains to do is to wish you all a Very Happy and Healthy 2023 from Shepshed Lions.
