Would You Like to Know More and
Consider Joining Us? |
|
If
you have just a few hours a
month to spare and feel you
would like doing charitable work
in the community and helping the
less fortunate, and if you would
like to join a group enjoying
companionship in doing so then
why not contact us to learn
more.
We
are looking for new members, -
fresh blood, new ideas, - to
keep up the charitable work we
do in the area. Apart from
manning about 12 fund raising
events a year we have business
meetings on the first and third
Tuesdays of each month at the
Crossroads Lodge Hotel, Scorrier.
So if you would like to know
more click on the contact button

Who Are We and What Do We Do? |
|
|
|
We are a group of ordinary
people in a Club which is a
member of the International
Organisation of Lions Clubs with
over 900 Clubs in the UK and
45,000 Clubs in the world, with
over 1.4million members,
dedicated to supporting worthy
causes and helping those who are
less fortunate than ourselves
(for instance, our Organisation
raised over £3M towards
rebuilding the area devastated
by the tsunami in Southern
Asia).
The Camborne – Redruth Club was
formed in 1976 since which we
have raised and donated over
£195,000 towards causes such as
providing equipment for people
with special needs, giving
hampers to genuinely needy
families at Christmas, donating
to our local Curnow School, CLIC,
Childrens Hospice South West,
Guide Dogs for the Blind, the
major county appeals such as
“Joey” , “Sunrise”, “Mermaid”
and “Merlin”, etc, etc

Why Do We Do It and Do We Get
Paid? |
|
|
We do it because
we are a group of people who
want to serve our community and
enjoy doing it without financial
reward. We are all non-paid
volunteers and our
organisation’s rules are
strict. All profits from fund
raising events have to be
put to charitable causes.
What we do get is
satisfaction from helping others
(the look on the face of a
terminally ill
child whom we
have helped to fulfil a longing
wish is worth more than any
payment), and we have fellowship
and fun, - with our partners and
friends often helping and
joining in social events. Also,
being members of an
international organisation means
that wherever we go in the world
we can meet up with, and enjoy
the friendship of like-minded
people from other Clubs.
