Grocery Collection

Late November or early December we have an annual collection in Fleet, when we ask customers at the local supermarket to purchase one additional item of non-perishable food or toiletries and donate this to us on their way out of the store. We then distribute Christmas Hampers to local elderly and larger items are taken to local nursing homes to be enjoyed by the residents.

Younger members of the community also benefit from this collection as we take larger hampers to Step by Step in Aldershot for homeless people.

THANK YOU Morrisons Supermarket on Elvetham Heath for allowing us to collect and for everyone who visited us in 2009.

Thanks you your kindness and generosity were able to make uphampers to the value of approx.

£1,400 for those less fortunate than ourselves in time for Christmas.

Young People

International Peace Poster Contest:

We also invite pupils aged 11,12, and 13 from local schools to tell how important world peace is to their future by entering the International Peace Poster Contest. We look for the poster which best depicts the theme set annually by Lions Clubs Internal. No words just pictures.

Young Ambassadors of the 21st Century:

The aim of this scheme is to: recognise, encourage and support young people aged 15 to 19 who are actively involved in community service work. In the past candidates have been involved in helping the disabled or the elderly, conservation projects, crime prevention, promoting healthier lifestyles, hospital radio, St John Ambulance, Scouts, and Guides.

Cash bursaries are awarded at each stage of the contest. If you would like to nominate a young person - please let us know by 30th September 2010

Support to individuals:

Donations have been made to support young people with educational projects and to volunteer overseas.
