WEST NORWICH LIONS

We were very proud to see the Defibrillator attached to the exterior wall of Clover Hill Community Centre.  Donations made when we collected outside various shops including Roy's at Bowthorpe and Barron's Fish Bar Costessey enabled us to place an order through Heart 2 Heart.  With local authorities approval, the wonderful Sara Parfitt at Clover Hill arranged for a qualified electrician to do the wiring up whose costs we also covered.  We are told, that within a week the Defibrillator was called into action so a feeling of job well done for all.

 In August we met Jenny, a Senior Specialist Dementia Nurse from NNUH who explained the marvellous work she and her colleagues perform in the hospital daily.  Patients with Dementia worsens when they have nothing to keep them occupied.  Providing puzzles, books and especially radios can help enormously.  Jenny also runs a support group enabling affected families to speak of the problems they jointly experience.  We presented Jenny with £1000.00 for her team to use for activities.

 August continued to be very busy with £300.00 donated to Norfolk Age UK to support them in their leaflet distribution.  We provided added fun with our Human Fruit Machine at Future Projects community event at Knowland Grove. Some of us had an early start running two Car Boot Sales at Sprowston Park and Ride which raised £333.00 from bric a brac donated to us.

 Being reminded that West Norwich Lions Club are part of an International Organisation who have qualified people familiar with supporting all disasters, we sent £250.00 to help India's Flood appeal.

 A reminder for Norwich City Fans looking for a charity car park for £5.00 cash/card on match days.  West Norwich Lions park cars at BDH Tullford's site on Europa Way arriving about 3 hours before kick off filling our spaces fast.
