Fun Quiz Night
Along with five local Lions Clubs we raised more than £270 for Great North Air Ambulance Service at a fun Quiz and Pie and Pea Evening. We did not win the quiz, but we enjoyed competing against other clubs and raising more funds for GNAAS whose fundraisers were on hand to receive the funds and talk about the life-saving work of the helicopter service.

Funding for Great North Air Ambulance
We have renewed our support for Great North Air Ambulance as it has been chosen as the North East Lions regional charity. This means our fellow Lions in Teesdale, Sunderland, Durham Consett, Peterlee and Darlington Lions will also raise funds for GNAAS over the next 12 months. Not only does GNAAS need more than £25,000 a day to keep operating, it is also needs to raise £2.5 million to invest in new helicopters!

Ingleby Barwick Fun Run 2026
We raised £3,350 in the Club's Ingleby Barwick Fun Run, thanks to a record number of runners taking part. Along with money raised by the Yarm Fun Run, the funds will be used at Christmas to make donations to local charities and food banks and to provide food vouchers for local people in need.

We raised a magnificent £3,766 at the 2026 Yarm Run Run on 31 May. Thank you to our all our volunteers including organisers, marshalls, photographers, videographers and Lions. And to our sponsors, runners and supporters! Once again you all did us and the town proud!
GNAAS Donation
We have donated £800 to the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS). Members of the club visited GNAAS HQ in Eaglescliffe to present a cheque for the funds which were partly raised at a collection at Tesco in Ingleby Barwick.
