COMMUNITY SERVICE
The Community Services Committee fulfills perhaps one of the most important functions of all Lions Clubs. It is here that it is decided who can benefit from our own personal help or from financial help made possible by our fund raising activities. It is worth pointing out that, as club members pay membership fees and also have separate fund raising activities to pay for administration, every penny of monies raised from the general public and from other supporting organisations is donated to charity.
Our personal help is mainly devoted to local causes and people or organisations who need assistance.
Solihull Lions provide the following events for Senior Citizens in Solihull.
In the summer a coach outing is arranged with afternoon tea.
Theatre trips are arranged on a regular basis
Visits are made to Residential Homes to provide "In House" entertainment
A Christmas lunch
In all instances supervision and transport is provided by Solihull Lions ably assisted by partners and friends.
Additionally transport is provided for disabled and handicapped people to various activities and each year a BBQ is arranged for them.
Solihull Lions also supports and provides financial help to Lions Clubs International for:-
Eye Camps
Water aid
Famine victims in the third world.
Solihull Lions of course also give directly to disaster funds such as the Tsunami, and more recently to flood victims in the Tewkesbury area.
Solihull Lions main area of financial assistance is again local. This year we have funded or made contributions to:
A special computer to a partially sighted lady in the borough
Playground equipment at Reynaulds Cross School
The Braille Chess Association
Galanos Homes
The family Care Trust
Girl Guides and Scouts
Sense
Wise Wheels (to provide a special tricycle)
Emergency financial assistance to a person in need.
Solihull Lions are always looking for people or organisations in the local area that need assistance. If you are a person in need or represent an organisation in need, or know of anyone in need, we are here to serve so please contact us directly.
