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 2021, despite difficulties with fund-raising due to Covid-19, we have helped the following:

• Southwell Rugby Club Juniors
• Literacy Volunteers
• Southwell Brownies
• Marie Curie 
• Sherwood Forest Hospitals Charity
• Jonathan's Voice
• Minster Junior School
• Bethlehem Lions Christmas Appeal
• Nottingham Hospitals Charity
• REACH
• MHA Live at Home
• Southwell First Aiders, to install another defibrillator
• Brain Tumour Research
• Sight Savers
• WaterAid
• MedicAlert

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:

• 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
