Due to the rapidly changing situation regarding the Coronavirus crisis we are having to rethink the running of some of our regular events and services. We will try and keep you informed via this web site and any other means at our disposal. 
The club can look back at another year of service to the communities of Yatton, Congresbury, Wrington and surrounding area. As a result of generous support of the residents to the Lions fundraising events many local people, organisations and charities have been helped. The Lions minibus and the Playground for special needs children and their families have continued to be well used and are great assets to the area.The playground has recently undergone a major refurbishment thanks to a local company. The Christmas carol float, Golf day, Beer Festival, Easter egg draw and Strawberry Line walk continue to be the main fund raisers and are as popular as ever.Many Families are supported during the year and whenever a need is brought to the Lions they do their best to help. During the year many charities have been supported such as The Brittle Bone Society, Young Minds, Penny Brohn, Nacoa, Cintre, Yatton Youth Club, Young Carers, Clevedon Food Bank, Local Schools, Bibic, Action For Children and Springboard to name a few.Yeo Valley have an ongoing project to support Dementia Care and Diabetes awareness. As a Dementia friendly club events are planned to support families where this condition can be life changing. |
The Playground was due to reopen for the 2020 season on 1st April. However in view of advice, for a number of reasons to do with hygiene, maintenance, toilet facilities etc we are not now in a position to reopen as planned. When we are able to bring the Playground back into use we will announce that here. You may be assured that we have not taken this decision lightly and we are determined to reopen the Playground just as soon as we feel it safe, sensible and practicable to do so. |

It is with regret that we are having to suspend all activities using our Minibus. We truly are sorry for such an action as we know it is very important within the community. If any of our regular users feel that this will be of major impact to them please contact us on our usual transport number and we will see if there is any assistance we can offer |
