Wives and partners of present and past members of the Lions Club of Plymouth have for many years contributed to local and national charities by organising their own fund raising events independently from the Lions Club. 

The ladies have been unable to meet or raise funds during the past two years. Times and circumstances have changed and they no longer meet as a formal group. Two of the ladies have since been enrolled as official members of the Lions Club of Plymouth. However, records show that over the past seven years alone, the ladies group raised a total of more than £11,700. 

The last of these donations – a sum of £314 – has recently been presented to the locally based children’s charity Jeremiah’s Journey, supporting children and their families who are anticipating or have experienced the death of someone special
