Ordinary people - Amazing things

As your local club, Paddock Wood & District Lions Club has provided services to our community for over 24 years. We are just one of the 80 Clubs in south-east England, 1900 Clubs throughout Great Britain and Ireland or 46,000 throughout the world all working to the same aim –

“To create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs providing voluntary services through community involvement and international co-operation”

Arguably, the largest service organisation in the world.

The main event in the Paddock Wood Lions calendar is the Carnival and Fete that has been organised by the Club since 1983. All the money raised (without deduction for administration) by this event is returned to the Town and surrounding area in charity and welfare projects including sponsorship for youth activities and assistance for the housebound and others in distress.

We would like to thank all who have entered the annual “Duck Races”, “Stash the Loot” and other competitions which have resulted in donations to Hospice in the Weald, Demelza House Children’s Hospice, the Air Ambulance and Macmillan Nurses to name but a few.

In recent years we have enjoyed assisting Father Christmas and his sleigh during his tours of the neighbourhood and our thanks also go to those who contributed to his collections.

The Lions Motto is “We serve” and members have been known to undertake garden clearances, decorating, hospital runs and other work of a similar nature.

Monthly business meetings are held at a local hostelry. New members (male and female) wishing to “put something back” are always welcome. If you would like to know more, - contact Lion Stanley Ward on 01892 833611or email stanley@paddwood.wanadoo.co.uk for details.
