We're a small club — fewer than twenty members — but together we raise and give away tens of thousands of pounds every year. In 2022–23 alone we raised almost £39,000 and made grants and welfare payments of over £15,000. Here are just some of the people and causes we've been able to help.

Where the money goes
Recent support has included Forest Foodbank, Fruit in School, the Dilke Hospital at Christmas, the Mitcheldean Young Poets and Story Tellers competition, the Newnham School Library Appeal, Macmillan Cancer Support and disaster relief through Lions Clubs International. Closer to home, we've provided carpets, white goods, mattresses and Christmas food vouchers to families in real need.
