During the month of  September, Lions Club world wide are promoting one of their five global causes, namely Childhood cancer . In working alongside  staff from Daisy Lodge, Newcastle Lions are making a big effort to try to promote, this global cause. This will include a coffee morning, a talk show and a  Daisy  Dander. Staff from  Daisy Lodge, have also provided information packs to local  businesses and highlighted the awareness month through the big electronic board at  Bon  Bon.

 

In trying to help families of children impacted by Cancer, they can avail of a wonderful facility in Newcastle to give them some respite. Originally this facility was known as  Shimna Valley and in 2005 Narnia, but this was enhanced with greater numbers of families being accommodated,  when  Daisy Lodge was built. This is a purpose built therapeutic centre located in  Newcastle.
