Horsham Lions wish to continue with the work in the local community and beyond, but in order to do so it would most helpful, to have additional ‘community minded people’ to join us, who would enjoy giving some of their free time. We also enjoy having fun and socialising. If you are interested in finding out more about us please contact Lion Tom Osborne on 0845 8333 7829.
