Clawson Lodge helping Ukrainian Charities

Clawson Lodge in Nottingham have started working with 2 charities on helping needy children in the Ukraine. Children in Ukrainian hospitals need help paying for life-saving medicines, not provided by the government. Most medicines have to be paid for and if the family is poor, or has spent all its money already, the child does not receive treatment. Clawson Lodge raised over £200 through holding a bazaar and various other fund raising initiatives for Lifeline to help children in Ukraine get the treatment they so badly need. 


Another charity which hold their meetings at Clawson Lodge every month is the Chernobyl Childrens Life Line. http://www.ccll.org.uk/ This organisation arranges visits to the UK for children to stay with host families, up to a month at a time.While they are here they have health checks & treatments for any ailments they have,mainly caused by the after effects of the Chernobyl disaster.


Thanks to the efforts from people at Clawson Lodge, hopefully they will be able to make a difference in saving the lives of children that need our help.
