How we serve our community

​

The guiding principle behind the Lions is 'We Serve'.

Serving our community - whether local national or international - is more than just donating to good causes. Of course, that is one of the primary ways in which we serve our community and, during 2022, we helped the following:
  • Newark Children's Bereavement Centre
  • St Michael's Primary School, Farnsfield, hedgehog project
  • Westgate Group
  • Marie Curie 
  • Ukrainian refugees living in Southwell and surrounding villages
  • Missing People
  • Minster Junior School
  • Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance
  • Beaumond House Hospice
  • REACH
  • LIBRA (Lions International Blood Research Appeal)
  • King’s College Hospital to benefit young in-patients with a range of blood cancers
  • Lowdham C of E Primary School
  • Sight Savers
  • WaterAid

Helping our neighbours
Very often, it's not a donation that's needed, it's a helping hand - and the Lions are always willing to provide that service. Among the many ways that we have served our community this year are:
  • Stewarding at events in aid of local and national charities
  • Litter picks in Southwell and Farnsfield
  • Replanting and maintaining the planters on roads into Southwell
  • Volunteering at Newark Vaccination Centre
  • Spectacle recycling with Police Aid Convoys
