Lady Linda Savell Chooses CentrePoint As Her Nominated Charity
District Governor John Savell’s wife Lady Linda Savell, has chosen CentrePoint as her nominated charity for the Lionistic year 2012-2013. Below is an extract from her letter :
“As many of you will know my nominated charity for the year is Centre Point one of the Street Children programs. When choosing to support this charity I wanted to be certain that they would be able to benefit from the generous donations that Lions make to worthwhile causes. I have been sent material with information and there will be a representative to speak at convention and to cabinet.
To ensure that everyone can see the work that Centre Point do, I have asked the District IT officer to place a link on the District Website which is a You Tube video of the annual report told by young people and how Centre Point has been able to help them.
The link is also in the body of this letter and I am sure that you will find it both interesting and informative about the work of Centre point. Some of the statistics are appalling and the thought of young people being on the streets without support I find scary and I hope that you do also and will see your way clear to helping in any way you can.

Rest assure that all money raised will help young people with the support of Centre Point away from a life on the streets.
Yours sincerely
Linda Savell “
