This item has appeared in the Summer edition of the Lions Clubs of the British Isle magazine.
Here is a message form our partner club Kalisz in Poland , explaining what some of our contribution, along with our twin club d'Bernisse in Holland, is being used for, along with some pics they sent us.
" I’m sure you’ve seen our relationship on Facebook, but only in the event that we let you and your club know by e-mail about the completion of the tasks made possible by your financial support.
In the first dose, four partners, a little bit of your club, a little bit of the Lions Club De Bernisse from the Netherlands, a little bit of us, the Lions Club Calisia, and a little bit of our specialist healthcare centre proHIGIENA. For a total of two and a half thousand zloty, we bought intravenous cannulas, cannula patches, infusion fluid transfusion apparatus, which are urgently needed in the event of large blood loss, e. g. from gunshot wounds. We also bought haemorrhagic dressings for bleeding wounds and nitrile gloves necessary for microbiological safety, syringes, needles and other medical aids. The transport went to Saporozhye – this is the region where the hardest fighting takes place and where these medical supplies are most needed. There is a volunteer centre that takes care of getting help as close as possible to the front line.
The subsequent transportation of medical supplies was entirely possible thanks to the money donated by your club. We were able to buy 100 tactical stasis. This is a type of equipment that allows an injured soldier to stop bleeding in the event of a gunshot wound, both in the upper and lower extremity. Every soldier should have such a bracelet to help himself in a critical situation. This stasis only saves lives, and it’s said that most fighters die of bleeding.
Thank you for your help and we hope we have fulfilled your expectations."
Best regards
Robert

The Isle of Axholme Lions along with fellow clubs, Glanford & Lindsey, Scunthorpe, Barton, Winterton & Brigg, have been supplying the cuddly toys to the hospital. 120 toys per two months, for the past 5 years, to help comfort children who have to attend the hospital.
Pictured is Terry Condliff of the Isle Lions along with Laura Gooderham, Community Champion for the Health Tree Foundation, with some of the cuddly lions for the children.
Our Quiz for the Ukraine @ the School Innn Epworth
|
Thank you for all those who attended our quiz to raise funds for the Ukraine, we raised £525 which will go directly to our Polish partner club, along with the £1500 we have already donated, also supported by our twin club de Bernisse in the Netherlands who generously donated 1000 Euros. The funds will go directly to buy essential goods & equipment needed by the refugees.

Here are two pics of equipment being used in Poland by our partner club Calisia(Kalisz), to help the Ukrainian refugees, with the funds we have directly sent to them.

Isle Lions supporting communities during COVID-19 crisis
Isle of Axholme lions have donated £1,000 from their funds and to support the Food Banks in both Crowle and Epworth at this critical time.Lion President Glyn Snowden said: “This is significant sum of money that we are putting to good use straight away. As soon as we realised the potential problems some of our local residents might be having, in putting food on the table, at the end of March we made emergency payments from our funds, raised in the Isle, to both Food Banks. This Coronavirus pandemic is hurting lots of local people in lots of different ways - just because we are all social distancing doesn’t stop us from caring - we are doing what we can. This cash injection will help us do more in our local community to help those who need it most.
We are delighted to be working with the Baptist Church in Epworth who are the focus of Food Bank assistance in the South of the Isle, and Mayor of Crowle Alan Rayment and Councillor Julie Reid on behalf of the Crowle Town Council Food Bank initiative.”
When a humanitarian crisis strikes, the Lions Clubs Foundation of the British Isles works with and are guided by their own Lions members who are ordinary people actively working at the heart of their communities.
Isle of Axholme Lions Club supports a range of good causes and local projects where you can get involved, please contact us on here on Facebook.

Danielle Fletcher of Epworth, chose Santa's float as her very different mode of transport to her wedding at the Reindeer Inn Sandtoft,
Santa & the Lions were pleased to help make it a day not to forget. She is pictured with her Dad Nigel & the man himself.

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization. We have 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in over 206 countries and geographic areas. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects, including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled

The Isle of Axholme Lions Club was formed in 1966 to raise funds for a variety of projects important to local communities and to support Lions' national and international charitable causes. Situated in the Westernmost part of North Lincs, separated from the rest by the River Trent with Doncaster to the West and Scunthorpe to the East, the two main towns are Crowle and Epworth, there are 12 parishes containing 21 settlements, in an area of approx 52,000 acres and a population around 19,000. We are part of Lions Clubs International, British Isles & Ireland, in District 105E covering Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland.
We are twinned with the De Bernisse Lions Club in the Netherlands, it is located to the South of Rotterdam, we have a very close relationship with the club, both socially and fund raising, having experienced several exchanges and jointly funded projects together

Our main fund raising is during December (1st - 24th) when we travel all over the Isle of Axholme with Santa's float, this has raised many thousands of pounds a year, over several years.

We also hold a giant Easter egg raffle over the three weeks up to Good Friday. Locating about 35 eggs at various pubs, shops, schools and other premises throughout the Isle.

Our annual golf tournament in June, now in its 22nd year, hosted at the Lincolnshire Golf Club, Hirst Priory, between Belton and Crowle, is another regular fund raiser which has also raised thousands of pounds over the years.
Other fund raising events, past and present, have included numerous quizzes, Burns suppers, sportsman's dinners & entertainment evenings, barbecues, bonfire nights, auctions, carol singing, hog roasts, even clay pigeon shoots and splat the rat!
