Can Bridgnorth Lions Help Your Local Charity or Community Group?
PSA, Diabetes and Cholesterol Testing Event
Wednesday 2nd October 2024
Castle Hall, East Castle St, Bridgnorth
From 18:00 to 22:15.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with around 55,100 new cases diagnosed each year, which averages to about 150 new cases every day.
It is the second most common cause of cancer death in men in the UK, with approximately 12,000 deaths annually.
The risk of developing prostate cancer increases with age, particularly affecting men over 50.
Its estimated that 67% of men aged 45 to 64 have raised cholesterol and the risk of diabetes increases with age and a sedentary lifestyle.
These two factors alone can contribute to a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack or stroke.
This is why, again this year, Bridgnorth Lions are staging another PSA, Diabetes and Cholesterol Testing Event.
Just a simple 2 minute blood text could save your life, and you can choose one, two or all three tests.

Thank You for Making It
Such A Special Day
We’d like to thank everyone who took part, supported, or helped organise this year’s Bridgnorth Walk & Marathon.
It was the most successful ever, with over 1000 competitors across the six events. The weather was fantastic, and the atmosphere at both venues was just brilliant.
We’re still checking, but we estimate, this year the event will have raised almost £100,000 for a wide range of charities. So, be really proud of what you’ve achieved.
We’re Already Thinking About The Next One…..
You won’t be surprised to learn, it takes many months of planning and organising each event. So, it won’t be long before we start again for 2025. We want to make next year even bigger and better (if that’s possible!).
So thank you, and see you next year……
Since 1976
Bridgnorth Lions
Have been serving our local community.
You will have seen or heard our name around the town and district already, but do you know who we are and what we do?
Bridgnorth Lions Club is made up of a group of like-minded men and exists to help those in the community who are disadvantaged or in need of help. Since 1976 we have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds, all from around Bridgnorth and the surrounding area, and every penny has been used to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Our Green Shop
Lions Recycling Hub
Bridgnorth Lions have partnered with ‘Our Green Shop’ in Waterloo Terrace, High Town to host new our recycling hub for print cartridges, mobile phones, foreign coins and spectacles.
The new facility means the Club can continue converting used and unwanted items into valuable funds that help good causes, locally, national and internationally.
Through the club, we have been collecting and recycling items for many years. For instance, well over 13,000 pairs of spectacles have been collected, with almost 3000 pairs received in the last year alone. Donated glasses are resorted and graded and shipped to many countries around the world, such as Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Nigeria and Nepal.
