The Lions Club of Nailsea and its twin club in France, The Lions Club of Mortagne au Perche in Normandy, donated the money to Lions Brass 4 Youth during a recent visit by the French club.

Lions Brass 4 Youth gives people aged 21 and under the chance to improve their skills on brass instruments and perform in a full band.

There are currently six bands for musicians of varying ages and abilities, comprising more than 100 members.
