New Forest Branch
Founded in May 1975 we have raised thousands of pounds to support primarily local charities. We are a friendly and active group, dedicated to making a difference in the community while enjoying the process
Our members hail from across the New Forest National Park and regularly meet in or near Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst. We build friendships, foster business connections, and have fun while supporting charitable causes.
We meet most Monday evenings and organize a variety of fundraising events, including golf tournaments and Christmas collections. These efforts allow us to donate approximately £15,000 annually to both local and international charities.
Guests are always welcome to join us!
