Leo Club of London-Hendon is an active club with 43 members, of whom 10 were inducted in May 2011.
This year so far, it raised a grand total of £4,820 for CAREducation Trust & other worthy causes besides taking an active part in community services:-
District 105A Youth Celebrations
Senior Citizen's Celebrations and
Distributing sleeping bags to the homeless in London.

Assisting in bucket collection in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust in January 2011 in partnership with Argos & Homebase stores
The club raised £2,019 (excluding Gift Aid) through our 3 main fundraisers (Lockdown- £1,050, Goals Football Tournament- £372, Quiz Night- £597.50).
Several of our members also raised fantastic sums through their schools, by holding their own fundraisers or by acquiring donations: thanks to the efforts of Leo Tasvi Shah (£2,375), Leo Rani Shah (£150), Leo Sona Shah (£650) and Leo Ameer Kotecha (£101) we as a club raised £4,820 (excluding Gift Aid) for CAREducation this year. This really is an awesome figure and a testament to the effort we've all put in over the year.
Congratulations to Leo Risha Sanghavi for being nominated District Leo Cabinet Vice-President and District Leo Cabinet Secretary.
Leo Tasvi Shah was awarded the “Leo of the Year – Alpha” at the annual District 105A Convention on 5th March 2011. The Leo Club of London-Hendon was awarded the “Leo Club of the Year – Alpha” at the same time. (Alpha = Leo’s under 18 years).
The club will celebrate 5 years this year and is hoping for a big amount to be raised in its 2 forthcoming events in April 2011, one event being organised exclusively for the parents of Leo’s and other adults.
The club has been lead by a very inspiring President Leo Linden Gregory and the whole team has ensured that a steady membership growth policy is incorporated to keep the club growing from strength to strength and not lose its momentum…….43 members and still growing!!!
