Hi everyone.
Thank you for your interest in our
web site. The picture below was taken at a recent donation to KSSAA. Over the past 50+
years the Lions have raised thousands of pounds and supported numerous projects
and good causes which help those in our community, and internationally, to have better life
experiences.
Following there are details of how
you too could give help and support by participating in some of the fund
raising events in our exciting 2024/5 programme.
This page will be
updated from time to time with new projects but we can always do with
your input and please do consider joining your Local Lions Club. We always need
new members and if, at present, you are not able to commit to full membership
we always need volunteers to help at our fund raising events. A good way to
meet others too.
Many thanks,
Lesley. (President, Northfleet and
Ebbsfleet Lions)

Community Service
Our work in the community locally, nationally and worldwide
Our successful
fundraising activities enable us to assist many local charities and organisations
who themselves provide vital and expert services to those less fortunate
children and adults throughout our community.
‘We are Beams’ Supporting
disabled children, young people and their families.
(seen
in the photo to the left)
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Services
Enabling those who
live with dementia to live well
Kent Association for Spina
Bifida & Hydrocephalus’
Providing services
to people with physical and/or learning disabilities and supporting them
towards independence
Dartford and Gravesham PHAB club
Bringing disabled
and non-disabled children, young people and adults together with friends and
family for all kinds of activities and social events
Waterside Parents Centre
Providing a wide
range of supportive services for parents with babies and
pre-school children and offering advice and guidance to ensure a happy
family life
Helen Allison School
Bringing out the
best in children on the autism spectrum, enabling each child to reach their
full potential.
ellenor
A specialist
palliative care provider for adults and children, within their hospice
inpatient ward or at home.
In addition to the above we have supported local foodbanks, a homeless hostel
and assisted with the purchase of a mobile sensory unit for the children’s
wards at Darent Valley Hospital.
It is only with the
very generous support of local businesses and the general public that we are
fortunate enough to be able to complete such a full and varied programme of
community service activities and welfare projects.
We make annual donations to a Lions International Aid Fund
which responds to major disasters that occur throughout the world such as
tsunamis, earthquakes and floods etc. This support is often carried out via our
links with local Lions clubs situated in those particular areas of 
need.
We often support
these appeals by way of bucket collections at a very friendly local
supermarket.
Together with the
other Lions clubs in the South East we regularly fund
items of equipment for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Charity and we
have embarked on an appeal to raise £5000 to help provide 6 hand held Ultra
Sound units and 20 new Medical Kits.
|
Help us to continue the type of valuable work detailed here |
It costs you
nothing on top of the donation, we receive all of the money and if you are a UK
taxpayer you can register for Gift Aid when we
acknowledge your donation and we receive an extra 25% on top of your donation
from the Government.
Thank you !!
