Helping Local Charities, Voluntary And Not For Profit Organistions, Individuals And Other Deserving Causes
There are Lions clubs in over 200 countries in the world with a membership of 1.35 million people. Whilst the Lions Clubs International can reach out across the globe with offers of help it is the role of the Vera and District Lions Club to help local charities and other deserving causes.
No member of the Vera and District Lions Club receives payment in any form. Our work for the community is entirely voluntary.
How do we help ?
We help the local community in various ways.
How ?
We organise fundraising events. This year for example we will be organising our main fund raising event the Spectacular “PARTY in the PARK” since 2017, Party in the Park, has been growing at a rapid rate, bigger and better every year it is an all-day music event held in Vera and is open to all ages for a fun packed day of events.Who do we help ?
Anyone ! should be the answer and that’s not far from the truth. (Sadly on occasions we may not be able to).
Currently we work very closely with the local community. We support the local foodbanks. Assist with equipment loan such as wheelchairs and walkers, along with cot beds, this list goes on. We also help people in need and have a very good link with the local Nuns, and the Churches. We also support Asprodalba who help people with disabilities.
Over our short existence we have helped many people in the community with specialised equipment for those in need, or other means of support to people with serious illness, both Spanish and those who have moved into the area or have been passing through as visitors.
We have donated to the local children’s homes, especially at those times of the year when they may not have what others have the privilege to take for granted, Easter, Christmas, etc.
Vera and District Lions supporting the Asprodalba Association
Together We Can
Asprodalba has a Day Centre and a Residential Centre.
In 2022, Asprodalba undertook a new project to create a further residential centre in Vera. This was
funded by donations from many local businesses and a grant from Smurfitt Kappa.
The building is complete HOWEVER, they have now run out of funding to finish the project.
Asprodalba require financial support for the completion of the centre, this includes painting and
decorating, electrics, fittings etc.
