What we do

Our motto is ‘We serve’ and the Lions are always on standby to help out individuals or groups who need support and assistance. Or where there is a community need. Or an opportunity to organise a fun event.

Our main activities

  • Health and Welfare

    Much of the practical help we provide and the funds we raise are focussed on providing health and welfare support and assistance.

    Our Welfare officer is responsible for allocating financial resources where most needed and, with other members of the charity, deciding where to spend the money we raise through our fundraising. Most is allocated to local needs, although our charity does also support national initiatives and international disaster relief funds from time to time.

    If you, or someone you know, is in need of financial assistance in our area, please contact our Welfare officer using the button below or call 03458 336759 to start a confidential conversation about that need. It would be most helpful for us to learn why the financial support is need ed and how it will benefit the recipient – a decision can then be made by the Club, and we can act quickly in emergencies!

    At some stage we may ask for feedback on the impact of the donation, and for consent to ‘tell the story’ In the public domain – although we will never disclose personal details and it will always be subject to the recipient’s permission.
