Good causes and organisations received the gift of charity donations drummed up from the Spalding Lions Christmas sleigh outings.

Representatives from the South Holland groups attended the ceremony on February 8 in Spalding.

All that is except inclusive charity Spalding PHAB and Donington Fire Brigade, who were called out to an emergency when they arrived.

The Lions’ John Steer said the group toured South Holland villages from December 2 to 21 last year and collected money for charity as they went.

Recipients of proceeds included St Barnabus Hospice, Tiny Tots, Callum Pite, Pinchbeck Carnival, Spalding United

Juniors, Pinchbeck 1st Guides, 5th Spalding Guides, 2nd Gosberton Brownies and Donington Rainbows, Brownies and Guides.
