Meon Valley Lions Club
Who are we?
We are the local Lions Club for the Meon Valley
area in Hampshire, England.
We are one of the 42,000 clubs that make up
Lions Clubs International,
the largest service club organisation in the
world with over 1.4 million members in over 180 countries.
What do we
do?
Our aim is to provide service, assistance
and funds for those in need.
We are dedicated to improving the quality
of life for those less fortunate people in our communities.
We hold fund-raising events, and donate our
time and assistance freely.
How can we help
you?
Our range of help is very broad. In
the past we have:
-
Helped to buy electric wheelchairs for local disabled
people.
-
Provided transport for people who couldn't get
around otherwise.
-
Arranged nursing help, caravan holidays, children's
day trips, etc., for needy families.
-
Regularly provided gardening help for a local
elderly disabled gentleman.
-
Given grants to young people attending international
camps, etc.
-
Paid for a student place at an agricultural college
in Kenya.
-
And much more...
If you need assistance in any way, or
if you know of anyone who would benefit from our help, please contact us.
(See below for contact information.)
How can you help
us?
We are always in need of help. If you
would like to join the club, or if you feel that you could help with our
fund-raising, assistance to others, facilities, or in any other way, please
contact us. (See below for details.)
We also need MONEY! To this end, we
arrange fund-raising events throughout the year and ask you to
contribute anything you can spare, to help
us help others.
What happens
to the money you donate?
Unlike many other organisations, we use absolutely
NONE of the money which we collect for salaries, administration, or expenses.
EVERY SINGLE PENNY is used to help others.
How do we decide
where the money goes?
We meet once a month (except August -everyone
needs a holiday!), usually on the first Monday of the month, at the Uplands
Hotel, Droxford, Hampshire, at 8pm. Anyone is welcome to come along
to the meeting, but please contact us beforehand, in case the meeting has
been postponed!
