Richard Johns, president of Bognor Regis Lions Club, said: “They have been collecting on our behalf throughout the past year and were able to send us the money just at the right moment.”

Richard thanked Rose Green Co-op manager John Tyson for the donation and presented him with a notice to display in the shop.

The Lions Club has found it difficult to raise money to support many local causes during the lockdown and the notice explains how grateful the club was for the unexpected donation.

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton:

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
