Did you know that bladder cancer is the 10th most common cancer worldwide, with over half a million new cases each year?

Let’s spread awareness and support those affected by this disease.

Remember, early detection is key in bladder cancer.

It’s that time of year again when Spalding Lions are busy with preparations for the Christmas light switch on in Spalding and of course our annual Santa sleigh runs around the area and static collection days outside Morrisons.
If you are thinking about joining Lions be assured that whenever you make contact with us, we will come back to you, with information and support, as soon as we possibly can.
Send us a message on here, come and chat to us on the 25th November where you’ll find us on the Sheep Market in Spalding or when you see us outside Morrisons during our Santa collection days leading up to Christmas.
We are normal people and unlike the real thing, Spalding Lions do not bite! 🦁

Did you know that anyone can get breast cancer?

Any breast tissue can cause breast cancer. Many men don’t think of themselves as having breast tissue, but they do - which is why !

We want to encourage all men to check their chest - not just this Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but every month…

Share Walk the Walk's poster with your dad, son, brother, uncle, friend, and all of the men in your life to help save lives now!

Today is ‘World Mental Health Day’, a day to remember to look after yourself and those around you.
Just by kindly asking ‘are you ok’ ‘how are you doing today’ or saying to someone ‘I’m struggling at the moment’ can open up a conversation.
It’s ok not to be ok. 🦁

Today is National Fitness Day 2023.

Some of our regular players who get together on a Friday afternoon 1.30 to 3.00 at the Castle Sports Complex in Spalding. Do you fancy giving it a go? We are an inclusive and very welcoming group. £5 weekly for non-members.

It was very hot on court today but as we had two full teams plus subs we were able to take a rest if we needed to.

Trying these tips could help you feel more positive and able to get the most out of life.

If you are considering starting a new sport but at a slightly slower pace, why not come along to The Castle Sports Centre and Swimming Pool on Friday afternoons 1.30-3.00pm and give walking netball a go. New players always welcome.

On Sunday some players from our walking netball group travelled to Stamford to play against nine other teams in a tournament.

The team played on outdoor courts, something they are not used to, with the weather being a mix of wind, rain and bright sunshine.

In the morning they played 4 good games, 3 of them were very close, but they ended up qualifying for the wiggle and giggle section.

The afternoon saw them build on this performance, really jelling as a team. They won the wiggle and giggle event. Four games, 3 good wins and one draw.

If you are interested in playing walking netball, Spalding Sapphires meet from 1.30pm to 3pm on Fridays at The Castle Sports Complex.
