CHARITIES have in recent weeks benefited by over £700 thanks to Leigh Lions Club.

Funds came through a sponsored walk in Aid of Macmillan Nurses, a band and folk night featuring Bram Taylor and Golborne Band for Wigan Hospice, Burns' Night revelry for the Osteoporosis Society and line dancing boosted the Meningitis Society coffers.

Future events are: Sat March 27 Caribbean fancy dress at Leigh Royal British Legion; Sat April 17 sequence and modern ballroom dancing, Leigh Royal British Legion; Fri April 23 quiz night at Leigh Conservative Club in aid of Eucology Cancer Care Unit, Wigan Infirmary.

Leigh Lions meet every other Tuesday at Leigh Conservative Club. New members are welcome.
