The Lions visited Swaffham's Tesco store and the Swaffham Assembly Rooms with their visitor, Pudsey Bear, who helped the volunteers collect donations from shoppers.
Overall, the Swaffham Lions' effort contributed £492 to the BBC fundraiser, held on Friday November 17.
The total raised amounted to over £50,000,000, which was raised by individuals and communities all over the UK.
