As a club the Deeping Lions get involved in many different projects, some are short events where we attend offer assistance (this can be financial Labour or a mix of both) and some are projects which carry a long lasting commitment.
Message in a bottle is an ongoing project to provide FOC to "any and all" an emergency medication advice system for emergency services to use should they visit you in your home and you are unable to communicate with them for whatever reason.
The Deeping Lions supply a container with a form inside which you fill in with any medical conditions you may have and any medication you are on so the emergency services know how to treat you.
The "bottle" also comes with stickers you put near your front door to alert the emergency services that you participate in the scheme so they know to look in the fridge for the container.
YOU GET THE BEST TREATMENT POSSIBLE THEY KNOW THEY ARE LOOKING AFTER YOU THE BEST THEY CAN
A main aim for the Deeping Lions club is supporting local youth groups. Is we feel one of the best ways of ensuring that youngsters grow up with the best chances of achieving their full potential. We help by supplying equipment that the clubs may not be able to afford themselves or by giving them the opportunity of trying new things that life may not normally afford them the opportunity of trying.
The Deeping Lions don't only help the young, Age concern, the visually impaired, The Red cross and St Johns ambulance are all rgroups we have assisted over the last few months and we will continue to do so.
Last year The Lions decided to reinstate our duck race and put all the proceeds towards Macmillan Nurses This resulted in a cheque for approx £1,300 being presented with our best wishes.
The local community centre needed some of their grounds turning into a useable garden for all those using the facilities during the long hot summers, so the Deeping Lions proved that Alan Titchmarsh was not the only one with Green fingers and very ably produced something that even capability Brown would be proud of.
There are always those in the community who for no fault of their own require some assistance to get back on their feet. This is where quietly with no fuss the Lions do some of their best work.
