<strong>Uckfield</strong> Lions celebrate a<br />
successful December<br />
by Ellie Thackway<br />
After a successful 2017, <strong>Uckfield</strong> Lions finished off the year with Santa’s Sleigh<br />
visiting houses around <strong>Uckfield</strong>, our annual Waitrose raffle and a party for the<br />
elderly in the community.<br />
In December, <strong>Uckfield</strong> Lions once again<br />
had a hectic month. We started the month<br />
bringing Santa to the <strong>Uckfield</strong> Late Night<br />
Shopping, and then with our annual party<br />
for the elderly in the community. Groups<br />
from around the community enjoyed<br />
lunch, games, music and a visit from<br />
Santa.<br />
Throughout December, Santa visited<br />
homes across <strong>Uckfield</strong> in his sleigh. He<br />
gave presents and spoke to children, while<br />
Lions collected your generous donations.<br />
We raised over £4600, which will be<br />
donated to local charities and good causes.<br />
Once again Waitrose <strong>Uckfield</strong> sponsored<br />
the Lions Christmas raffle & allowed us<br />
to sell raffle tickets in the store for one<br />
week leading up to Christmas. Our chosen<br />
charity this year was the Rockinghorse<br />
Charity & the total raised was £2575.<br />
Waitrose & <strong>Uckfield</strong> Lions provided the<br />
prizes. The winners were:- 1st prize - £200<br />
Waitrose vouchers - Annette, Chailey<br />
2nd prize - £100 Waitrose vouchers - Mrs<br />
Ovens, Buxted 3rd prize - £50 Waitrose<br />
vouchers - Mr Fenn, Buxted.<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> Lions would like to thank the<br />
people of <strong>Uckfield</strong> and the surrounding<br />
villages for their support, throughout 2017<br />
and particularly in December. Without<br />
you, our fundraising efforts could not be<br />
the success they are.<br />
