Horley Lions Club (CIO)

Horley Lions Club funds causes that address local need, including children and youth, poverty and hardship, mental health, carers, education and skills, and physical health. They support a variety of work such as providing essential items like kitchen appliances, clothing, bedding, and walking aids, as well as funding Christmas food parcels, school equipment, and hospital ward improvements. Their beneficiaries include children and young people up to 18, carers, and families experiencing hardship. The Club's geographic focus is Horley and the surrounding areas of Reigate, Redhill, and nearby villages in Surrey and Sussex, with a priority on Horley itself. They also support national charities whose catchment area covers Horley.

Applications are accepted from registered charities, community groups, schools, and individuals. Individuals are typically referred by Social Services or similar agencies. The Club prioritises organisations that serve the Horley area, including nearby villages in Surrey and Sussex. Beneficiaries include children, young people, carers, and families facing hardship. There are no religious or political restrictions. The Club welcomes unsolicited applications.

The Club does not fund organisations that do not serve the Horley area. They focus on local need and do not support projects that fall outside their stated geographic priorities.

Horley Lions Club provides grants for equipment, project delivery, and events. They fund one-off items and activities, responding to immediate needs. The Club welcomes unsolicited approaches and works with both individuals and organisations. Their funding is practical and hands-on, reflecting their volunteer-led community focus.
