Clevedon Lions Club
Clevedon Lions Club has provided support to individuals, clubs and charities within North Somerset for more than 40 years. The Clevedon Lions Club also has a social calendar, providing interaction within the Club, with
other Lions Clubs in the District and in the community which we serve.Funds are primarily raised via Clevedon's annual Summer Fayre and Father Christmas Float. Both events are extremely well supported by the Town
Council, Clevedon Garages, the local media and Clevedon citizens. Our Bacon Butty and Tea Stall at Clevedon's monthly Farmers' Market also provides additional funds. Every penny, raised and donated, is used to support
charitable causes. Clevedon Lions are extremely grateful for the ongoing support. The Clevedon Lions Club's administration costs are covered by the Club Members. As well as supporting individuals, Clevedon
Lions [with the excellent help of the Lions Ladies Group,] have supported: The Royal British Legion, SSAFA, Clevedon ATC and ACF groups, Portishead Lifeboat Trust, the Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre in Nailsea, The
Jessie May Trust, Clevedon Hospital, Clevedon Roundabouts Playgroup Centre, the Cystic Fibrosis Unit at Bristol Children's Hospital. Every month we host an evening for twenty or so partially sighted guests at The
Hawthorns Hotel and hold a Harvest Supper for Clevedon's senior citizens. Lions Clubs internationally also support many causes including Sight First and Water Aid in developing countries and provide assistance in
disaster areas. If you would like to get involved with supporting your community by helping the Clevedon Lions Club but are really not sure just how much time you have to commit, here is a guide to help you decide.
Friend of Lions – will be asked to help out the Lions Club when resources are stretched [i.e. during the Summer Fayre and/or during Santa's tour of the town]. Associate Member – should be able to commit to attend meetings as well as helping at events but perhaps not being involved with organization. Lions Member
– should be able to commit between 2 & 10 hours a month [these hours include participation in social events].
All of the above will be invited to attend our social functions. One event is generally held every month. Clevedon Lions Club meets at Clevedon Community Centre on the third Monday of each month at 8.00pm _________________________________________________________________________________________ If you are considering joining us or would like more information we would be delighted to hear
