Community Service:

Lions have been carrying out community service in a very wide range of areas since their formation in 1917. This community service is carried out mainly at local level but also at wider national and international levels. See the sub menus on the side panel for detail of some of our activities. If you know of a local community service project that may need our help then please contact us, or email communityservice@readinglions.org.uk

Wrapping Easter Cakes for WRVS recipients

Supporting the Duchess of Kent House Charity

The following are just some of our projects:

Annual summer Lions Community Fun Day at Prospect Park.

Assistance at the Wokingham May Fayre and the Southcote Community Fete.

Provision of a storage shed for the Reading Dingley Family School.

We supported a young person on a trip of a lifetime to India. He learned about the differences between our two cultures and helped refurbish a school in the hills. We recieved a great letter of thanks, with pictures of his adventure.

We provided the car park marshalling at the Girl Guides Centenary Celebration held at Englefield Park.

Our Sight Awareness Day - Blindfold Pub Walk.

The adoption of a local green space in the centre of Reading at County Lock.

Assisting the Reading Association for the Blind to provide a talking microwave and talking scales to a visually impaired person. Follow the link to the thank you note. This is what makes it all so worthwhile. It has been a real pleasure to help make this person's life a little easier.

Support for the Reading BikersToy Run in December - delivering toys to Banardos.

Helping to prepare and serve Christmas lunch to Southcote pensioners.

Supporting a young local couple with funds towards a replacement wheelchair.

Providing food vouchers to local needy families.

Providing Christmas cakes to local meals on wheel recipients via the WRVS.

Providing Easter Cakes to local meals on wheels recipients via the WRVS.

Provision on a Urine testing machine for the Duchess of Kent House Charity.

We recently held a fundraising event, in conjunction with other local Lions Clubs and the proceeds paid for a Family Day out at Beale Park for more than 80 people.

We donated funds to a local special needs school (Phoenix School) for young boys with emotional, behavioural and social disorders.

As a Club we also support a number of Youth Opportunity initiatives.

Assisted a local young volunteer by providing funds towards her trip to Ecuador for a six month volunteer programme to work with street children.

Providing funds in support of new school benches at Whitley Park School, Reading.

We also answer calls for assistance from private local families / individuals.
