Bolton Lions Club are a registered charity. Lions members are all volunteers. All money raised by the club is used to support good causes. Any administration costs are covered by the members themselves and not from money donated.

For 40 years Bolton Lions Club has supported young people at Christmas through its Toy Appeal, with thousands of new toys being given to children who otherwise would have nothing at Christmas. Last year we gave to over 1700 young people, supplying £10,000 in vouchers to children of secondary school age and over 7000 toys to the younger ones. sadly the demand continues and we are this year targeting £10,000 and are appealing to both businesses and the public, who have supported us so well in the past, to yet again come to our aid to help give every child in Bolton a Happy Christmas. We hear so many stories of how the toy appeal makes such a difference on Christmas Day to children who otherwise would have no, or very few, presents to open. Just imagine going into school after the Christmas holiday and having to invent a story of what presents you’d received, because in reality, you’d received very little or nothing at all.
