Our Contribution to the Community….
For the last two years, Malton, Norton and District Lions group have awarded a grant of up to £500 to ten local charities. The grants were introduced in our centenary year, and due to the high level of interest, Lion Steve Sidaway (our President in 2018-19) decided to offer them again. They are aimed at supporting smaller charities that contribute so much to their community. The grants are a good example of how we use funds raised throughout the year, such as the Santa Sleigh appeal to make a difference to local groups. Recipients applied for the grant by emailing malton.lions@btinternet.com and outlining their project.
Past recipients include:
1st Norton Scout Group
Ryedale Stroke Group
Ryedale Community Transport
Kirby Misperton Village Hall
1st Malton Guides
1323 Ryedale Squadron, RAF Cadets
Ryedale Community & Leisure Centre
Community Counselling (North Yorkshire) Ltd
Westow Cricket Club & Community Pavillion
United Martial Arts
The Encephalitis Society
