At the heart of Yeo Valley Lions is a deep commitment to caring for those in our community who may be going through tough times. Our Welfare work is one of the most meaningful aspects of what we do — offering a helping hand when it’s most needed.

​

Whether it’s providing essential household items to someone starting over, assisting with urgent home needs, or giving physical support to help someone overcome a challenge, we treat every request with compassion, dignity, and care. Each case is looked at individually, and referrals can come from community professionals or directly from the families themselves.

​

We also believe in the power of simple kindness. At Christmas, our members make special efforts to remember elderly residents who may be living alone or in care homes — delivering thoughtful gifts and taking time for a cheerful visit and a friendly chat.

​

Our monthly Lunch Club and Coffee Mornings are part of this same mission. These gatherings offer a relaxed, welcoming space for older residents to meet, reconnect, and enjoy the warmth of community over a hot meal or cuppa.

​

​

As a recognised Dementia Friendly organisation, we proudly support the local branch of the Alzheimer’s Society. We regularly host Coffee Mornings and Singing for the Brain sessions — uplifting experiences designed to bring joy, music, and connection to those living with dementia and their carers.

​

Everything we do under Welfare reflects our belief that no one should feel forgotten or left behind — and that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference.
