News

We are very excited to share with you the latest news regarding our efforts to raise funding for our most urgent projects.

Earlier this month we received the welcome news that LionAid has been successful in the first stage of a vigorous application process for funding. Part of the qualifying criteria for the second stage is that we need to match a proportion of the proposed funding though donations and sponsorship by the end of December 2014.

We have approached a number of businesses and will be holding a talk followed by a charity auction on 8th December in London. The event has been arranged specifically to attract much needed long-term corporate sponsorship and is an invitation only ticketed event. Ricky Gervais (and other celebrities) have very kindly donated paintings/artwork for us to auction as part of fundraising on the night. The picture above is a wonderful oil painting by Ricky Gervais and the one on the left is a charismatic lion drawing from Jane Fallon.

* STOP PRESS* We have a limited number of tickets available to the live auction of the original artworks on 8th December 2014. Minimum donation of £100 per ticket. These will be sold on a first come first served basis and are limited to 4 tickets per application. If you or your company are interested in attending, please contact us via info@lionaid.com  and we will be happy to forward you an application form.

We are grateful to you for all your donations large or small, and remind you that you can give at any time by visiting our website or following this link.
 

We will keep you posted on our application process and look forward to giving you an update on the auction after the event.

Thank you for your support.
