Energy Poverty – You Can Help Those In Need
With winter upon us our thoughts turn to those who are struggling with their fuel bills. It is estimated that there will be around 6 million people suffering from energy poverty this winter. With the energy price cap increased to £1,738 from 1st January and a further 2% increase expected from 1st April this winter is expected to be very challenging.
*Energy poverty is defined as a household that spends more than 10% of its income keeping their home at a reasonable temperature.
Hook & Odiham Lions are working closely with local agencies to help relieve the suffering by supporting those in need.
You can help Hook & Odiham Lions to support those locally who cannot afford to heat their homes this winter by donating whatever you can so they do not have to choose between Eating or Heating.
Please donate by clicking the Donate Here button below. The button will take you to our PayPal Giving Fund page.
Thank you for making a difference!

Santa Street Collections
We would like to thank everyone for their generosity this year. A big thank you also to all of Santa's helpers who gave up their precious time during the busy Christmas period.
This year we received tremendous help from Marquis Leisure who loaned the use of a vehicle to tow the Sleigh.

Hook Village Show 2025
Put Sunday 6 July 2025 in your diary! The Hook Village Show will be back again at Hartletts Park in Hook.
Prostate Cancer Screening
Following the 256 men tested at the Odiham Cottage Hospital on Saturday 11th May 2024 (we were fully booked) we knew there were additional local men who were keen to get tested. On Saturday 9th November we tested another 217 men. This combined with the Home Test Kits mean the Lions will have tested approx. 500 local men this year. A fine achievement.
Some numbers…..
We tested 217 men. The registered numbers four days before the November screening were 150 ….but the Chris Hoy publicity in the media then boosted our numbers, just ahead of our event, when we managed last minute to arrange to increase the number of tests.
The results were:
Red = 15 Amber = 4 Green = 198
We typically expect 5% red scores which is 11 men (from 217) so 15 is a high number.
The age bands of the reds were 40s = 5 50s = 1 60s = 4 70s = 5
Men with red scores are advised to see their GP promptly for additional tests.
We also had our lowest number of no-shows to date. Only 4 on the day which confirms the men who booked were very keen to get tested.
