The Lions Club of Blackmore Vale is fairly typical of almost 1,000 Clubs in these Islands. We have a membership of around 20 comprising people from a wide range of professions. The Club was initially formed with 24 members in 1979, and was presented with its Charter on the the 1st June of that year. Our active programme of events is generously supported by the local community and, thanks to them, the dedication of our members and the very positive support of our wonderful Lions Ladies, we donate in the region of £22,000 each year to local, national and international causes. Our aim is to provide help to those who need it most. |
