MELKSHAM Lions Club is always on the lookout for new members who can help them in their aims as a community support organisation.
“There are no specific qualifications or requirements needed, only enthusiasm,” says Melksham Lion Phil Gaskell.
. “If full time membership is not possible, then we also need volunteers who can help us out at specific times like at our Easter and Christmas fundraising activities and with our stall at local events throughout the year.
“We will need extra help this year because it is our 50th anniversary and we have a number of additional events planned to celebrate the achievement.
“Major charities the club supports includes Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Free Wheelers and Wiltshire Mind as well as Melksham Lights and the local hostel for the vulnerable homeless, local youth and children’s organisations and individuals’ specific welfare requirements within the community.
“Melksham Lions Club is part of Lions Clubs International, a community service organisation dedicated to the idea that people who live in the community are in the best position to know who needs help and why. There are 1.4million members worldwide.
“If you would like to get involved ring 0345 8337401; email president@melkshamlions.org.uk; visit www.melkshamlions.org.uk , or visit the club’s Facebook Page by searching melkshamlionsclub.”
