Lions Shed at Woodside
The Lions Shed at Woodside is the Club’s signature activity and primary fundraising activity. The Lions Shed at Woodside is located off Nairne Road next to the Adelaide Hills Swimming Centre. The Shed is open to the community on Friday 8.30am – 12 noon and Saturday 8.00am – 12.30pm. Members of the public can purchase donated recycled items including furniture, garden tools, haberdashery and household goods including electrical. A team of 5 Lions members coordinate activities at the Shed and other members and volunteers enthusiastically assist when they are able.
The majority of proceeds from the Lions Shed at Woodside are returned to the local community to support initiatives that benefit the community. Remaining funds support Lions Australia foundations and initiatives including childhood cancer, diabetes, eye health, disaster relief Australia and Lions hearing dogs.
Christmas Trailer Raffle
Each year members of our community look forward to and support our Lions Christmas Trailer Raffle. The first prize is a brand new, registered trailer filled with an assortment of items suitable for everyone – such as household goods, garden accessories and supplies, toys, and various items from local businesses. Tickets go on sale from October each year and are available from Lions members, local businesses and the Lions Shed at Woodside. The raffle is drawn the weekend before Christmas.
Christmas Cakes and Puddings
Lions Christmas Cakes and Puddings has been an annual fundraising project for Lions Australia since 1965. Our Lions Christmas Cake Coordinators are involved with the ordering, supply and delivery of cakes to retail outlets across our district. Christmas Cakes and puddings are available at the Lions Shed at Woodside from October. However, if you cannot wait until then, you may find some still available during the year at the Lions Shed at Woodside.
