Morpeth Lions support the local environment
Morpeth Lions plant a native oak tree in Carlisle Park to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. The tree was sourced by Northumberland County Council. Frances Povey of the Council helped Lions Chris Offord and Les Brindley to plant the oak.
Vice President, Chris Offord, who leads Morpeth Lions Environment Committee said ‘Whilst as Lions our primary concern is helping to meet local needs, we also undertake environmental improvements to bring pleasure to the town’s residents. We are grateful to the County Council for their assistance with our latest project and look forward to watching the oak grow over time.’
Support for Christmas parcels for underprivileged children
Morpeth Lions are grateful to Castle Carpets, Coopies Industrial Estate for their donations of toys for our appeal. Thank you also to staff of Robson and Cowan Country Store, Scots Gap, who presented Lion Peter with a cheque for the proceeds of a special coffee morning they held to raise funds towards our children’s activities. We couldn’t do it without all of our supporters.
Christmas parcels for underprivileged children
For over 35 years Morpeth Lions have provided Christmas gifts and parcels containing toys, warm clothes and sweet treats to underprivileged children in the local area.
Each year many children benefit, and we see the need increasing.
We appreciate the support of local organisations and supermarkets in enabling us to do this. Pictured are donations from Dobbies and The Works at Dobbies, received by Lion President Peter.
