Lions at Christmas
Hereford Lions Club comes into its own at Christmas, earning a reputation as Santa’s Special Helpers. This picture above shows Santa and the Lions at Martha Trust.
For over 30 years the club has made sure that all the city’s children have the chance to see Father Christmas by staging their Santa Sleigh run through city streets in the three weeks before Christmas.

The club also arranges Santa’s Grotto at the Wyevale Garden Centre, popular with thousands of kids. It also ensures Father Christmas arrives safely every Christmas Day morning at the children’s ward at the city hospital and takes disadvantaged children to the local pantomime.
The ‘Lions Festive News’ a full colour newspaper filled with news and seasonal articles is delivered to all of Hereford’s 30,000 homes, not only promoting the work of Lions, but other local charities.
