community and faith groups across the parts of Doncaster in which the club the club concentrates most of its activities. This includes working witjl religious entities, children and youth groups, a community forum and community libraries to encourage and support local people in their efforts to better their town and themselves. Donations have been made to local church groups, boxing and junior football clubs, a scout group and youth groups in support of this objective.
**Promoting Volunteering:** All our Club's members are volunteers and make donations to LCI to cover the Clubs administration costs and charges for centrally provided services to help us carry out our activities (e.g. insurance, training, legal advice, etc). It is a theme of Lions, and of our Club, that every penny we raise from the public at large should be used to help support our service activities, We work hard to promote volunteering, not just with the Lions, but with other community groups so that we can maximise the public benefit. Promoting volunteering is essential to our wellbeing and to achieve the maximum public benefit. We are grateful for the assistance that from some of community group gives us with our Christmas sleigh activities. We also encourage other groups to partner us with our displays and events at local galas and other public events.
## **Relief of Poverty and for those in**
**Need:** We receive many requests on behalf of local people and families who are experiencing difficulties due to poverty, ill health, disability, abuse, age and other social problems. We diligently investigate every request to determine how we can best provide support which

includes the provision of furniture,
electrical appliances, furnishings,
clothing, beds and bedding, etc. We
also make donations to, or provide
equipment, for some local centre’s of
the specialist support charities and
organisations to help them to also
provide relief for those in need. This
includes Bluebell Wood Hospice and
the Plant Works ABC which operates in
what is probably one of the most
deprived areas of Doncaster. In
addition, we worked with other local
Lions Clubs and the local council to
raise funds to help to provide
assistance to those affected by the
November 2019 floods in Doncaster.
We have also been able to assist other
voluntary groups with proving
sustenance to people affected by the
Covid 19 pandemic. We also donated
to the LCI Foundation to help provide
relief for a number of disasters in
various parts of the world.
The Advancement of Health or the
Saving of Lives: We supplied Messages in
a Bottle {MIAB) free of charge to elderly
and infirm people so their physical/

would be readily available to the
emergency services if they collapsed at
home or went missing
