Community
We are a proud part of the greater community of Durham.
We ensure to serve our communinty with pride when ever there is a need.
We do lots of different service from environmental, hunger to vision.
Message in a Bottle
Lions Clubs Message in a Bottle is a simple but effective way for people to keep their basic personal and medical details where they can be found in an emergency on a standard form and in a common location – the fridge.
Message in a Bottle helps emergency services personnel to save valuable time in identifying an individual very quickly and knowing if they have any allergies or take special medication.
Paramedics, police, fire-fighters and social services support Lions’
life-saving initiative and know to look in the fridge when they see the Message in a Bottle stickers. The initiative provides peace of mind that prompt and appropriate medical assistance can be provided, and next of kin / emergency contacts can be notified.
Lions pay for the bottles so the public can get the bottles free.
Spectacle Recycling
Lions Clubs throughout the British Isles collect unwanted and damaged spectacles. These are then sent to either Lions Clubs National Headquarters in Birmingham or Chichester Lions Club. Tens of thousands of spectacles are recycled each year.
All donations are examined by a team of Lions and other volunteers in the recycling workshop. Sorted pairs of glasses may then be sent for grading and distribution by Medico France in Le Havre.
Litter picking
We organise regular litter picks in and around Durham to help keep our community tidy.
