WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE!
This page was updated by Lion Alaric on Thursday, 01-Jul-2010 08:25:29 BSTOur
club is part of the Lions Clubs
International - a truly global service
organisation with over 1.3 million members in 205 countries.
We are a group of service-minded individuals working to help our
community. Our motto is "We Serve" and we are proud to
recognise
ourselves "ordinary people who achieve amazing things".
The main purpose of the Basildon & Wickford Lions Club is to support our community, sometimes through financial help, sometimes by 'rolling our sleeves up', and sometimes a bit of both. We organise events to raise funds to support these community services projects. Though all of our service and fund raising activities are enjoyable in their own right, we also take time out just to have fun together.
Click on the links to the left to find more information about the club, what we do, what being a member entails, and how to contact us. If you like the look of what we do and you have some time to spare maybe you would like to think about joining us? We are always looking for new members.The
new Lions Year began on July 1st 2010. For a list of the newly
serving officers please see the 'How to contact us' page.

In collaboration with our colleagues from the Thurrock Lions Club, our Charity Golf day this year will be held on Thursday July 8th 2010. Click here for more details. We would welcome further entries and we would also appreciate any local businesses who may be able to offer sponsorship.EASTER RAFFLE DRAW
Our very grateful thanks to the many pubs and clubs in the area who supported our Easter Raffle Draw, through which we raised £750 for our nominated Charity, Canine Partners. We also added £100 from our general funds to make a total donation of £850.LOCAL BROWNIES
The Club was presented with a Mobility Scooter by the Estate of a recently deceased local lady to be used for the benefit of local residents. The Club has sold the scooter. The proceeds have been used to part fund a Brownies Adventure Holiday.TALK ON JAPAN
| In February 2010 the Lions Club invited Bruce Bellringer, who is a local author from the 'Ladygate Scribblers' Club, together with his Japanese wife, Kuniko, to give us a talk on 'Life in Japan'. They also brought along some Japanese artefacts. The talk was enjoyed by all, and in appreciation the Lions gave a donation to Bruce's sponsored Charity, the Wickford Branch of Talking Newspapers for the Blind. | ![]() |
SANTA'S
SLEIGH
| We have now completed our tour around Wickford and Runwell with Santa and his sleigh and also our static collection at Sainsbury's in Basildon. We would very much like to thank the extreme generosity of local residents. We would also like to thank several local businesses without whose support our collection would not be possible - please see the President's Christmas 2009 Message for details. In total we raised almost £3,000, half of which has been presented to St Lukes Hospice. |
