Serving the Community
Obtaining our help:
Many of the requests for our support come from the Citizens Advice Bureau or Social Services. Individual direct requests sometimes come via a member of our club, through other Lions clubs or the Lions Clubs organisation. This list is by no means fully comprehensive. If you think we might be able to help you, or someone or some organisation that you know of, please use the form on our contact us page. Your query will be referred to our Welfare Committee who carefully assess requests for funding and other assistance and, where applicable, recommend these to the whole club for debate and approval.
The list below gives an idea of the types of support we have given previously, which have included:
· Practical assistance for the blind, the handicapped and the elderly.
· Assistance to families or individuals in distress.
· Provision of equipment for hospitals, Health Centres and ambulances.
· Provision of furniture from our Lions Community furniture store
