"And, as our members are all volunteers who join in order to give something back to their local community, you can be assured that all the monies raised go directly to the benefit of those in need.

"During the past financial year we have been able to donate over £7,000 to individual cases of hardship within our area and also make sizeable donations to local charities such as Safeline, Helping Hands and Warwick Hospital's Birth and Babies Appeal as well as distributing 150 Christmas food parcels made up from resident’s donations."

Warwick Lions have been serving the local community for over fifty years and are also involved in the organisation of other popular fund raising events such as the Warwick Town Bonfire and Fireworks and the Christmas Carol Concert at Warwick Castle.
