This morning a group of members of the Henley Memory Cafe set off on a river trip on the Rivertime, a specially adapted craft based here in Henley. The outing was one of two this season that are being sponsored by Henley Lions Club. We’ve supported both the Memory Cafe and Bluebells over many years. Both organisations, which meet at the Christchurch Centre, help local dementia patients and their families.
During our July 2025 meeting we presented a cheque for £530 to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance which will provide for the purchase of a flight uniform and ear protection defenders for one member of their helicopter crew. Pictured are Steve Hatcheck of TVAA along with outgoing President Wendy Franklin and treasurer Robin Swift.
A huge thank you to everyone who turned out to welcome Santa on his sleigh and who contributed on the night and afterwards. Every penny collected will go to support local charities in and around Henley.

For the 20th consecutive year Henley Lions Club organised, packed and delivered circa 100 Christmas food parcels to residents of Henley and surrounding villages. The parcels contained a selection of basics as well as a few holiday treats. They were distributed to families and individuals who could benefit from a bit of extra help at this time of year. Our sincere thanks go out to all of those organisations and individuals who helped us make this annual project possible.
