Welcome the the website of the
Goring, Woodcote & District Lions Club
On this website we hope to be able to keep you informed as to our future programmes and what we have recently done. If you see or hear anything that you think may be helpful to us, please contact us via "Contact Us" page.
We are always looking to help people in our community so if you, someone you know or a community group need assistance, please let us know. Our help can be financial or by using our peoplepower. Whilst we do assist with financial support, our preference is to supply an item for someone or a group. In the recent past our club help has supported a wide range of projects such as
- Supply 3 kissing gates for Chiltern Way footpaths in & near Woodcote
- Supply & plant Jubilee trees in Goring, Woodcote & Whitchurch Hill
- Chrismas Hamper to someone in need
- A new washing machine (& plumbed in) and furniture for a family
- Support for the Air Ambulance Berks|Oxon|Bucks
- Support for Macmillan Nurses
- A specialist bed & chair for two local Hospices
- Sonning Common pre School
- 4 Tents for Sonning Common Cub Group
- Sponsorship for local girl to work with children
- We continue to collect unwanted spectacles for recycling
- Additionally we support approved overseas aid projects, usually Lions International ones such as Water Aid, Eye Health Programme and the Lions Clubs International Foundation (see right >).
We also have a presence on
and would welcome your participation and comments.
