What Do We Mean By Serving the Community?
The Service that Uckfield & District Lions provide takes many forms. The most common is financial assistance towards individual or groups to support worthy projects. Other ways include increasing awareness of certain medical conditions by running annual Diabetes screening, running of a Community Mini Bus and providing manpower to assist with projects.

Uckfield also support a number of projects run by other members of the Lions family that provide a service to other communities. These include:

Message In A Bottle - Put all your medical details in a bottle in the fridge for the emergency services
TACADE - Education packs for schools, covering subjects such as gambling, drugs and alcohol
Used Spectacles - Collected in Chichester and refurbished for use in Kenya and India

How Do We Decide What Service to Provide?
Each month Uckfield & District Lions receive various appeals for help from all areas of the community. Each appeal is considered by a committee who seak further information if required. The committee then recommend to the next club meeting a level of support for the appeal. This recommendation is then voted on by the whole Club.

How Can I Apply for Help?
If you represent a group, a charity or are an individual who thinks the Lions could help with a donation towards a project then please contact us with full details. We assess each appeal seperately based on the content of the appeal and the funds we have available within our annual budget.

Appeal Guidelines

- Must be for a genuine need that can not be meet in any other way.

- It is preferred that we purchase a piece of equipment rather than give cash donations.
