We're planning to do our Santa runs and statics this year - so you may get a knock on your door when we come down your street! AND YOU CAN DONATE HERE. We'll also be outside the Hart Shopping Centre in daylight. The money raised will go towards the massive number of Christmas food parcels we are providing for the needy. When and where of float routes and a live tracker can be found by clicking here.
The members of Fleet and Hart Lions would like to wish you all
a very happy Christmas.
Fuel and Utilities Project
We are trying to 'help' target where public donations can do the most good to help people struggling with Fuel or Utility Bills. In the past people who got the annual Winter Fuel Allowance and didn't need it often donated it to us. Often people just made a donation to this cause anyway. We are still accepting donations to this worthy cause through PLEASE CLICK HERE.
And do you know of anyone struggling with Fuel or Utility Bills? Please let us know by emailing us at fuel@fleetlions.org.uk.
Urgent Appeal for laptops
Will you have an unwanted laptop after Christmas (or even before!)?
Remember that if you are lucky enough to get a new laptop this Christmas, then think in turn of donating your old laptop to the Lions. We are in urgent need of donations of working laptops currently fitted with Windows 7 / 8 / 10 or 11. All history is professionally cleansed prior to it being reprogramed for release to families in need. Contact: it@fleetlions.org.uk
Many thanks and Merry Christmas from Lion Santa and his helpers at the Lions IT Refurbishment Team.
Here's A GREAT CLIP that describes our project.
Christmas Carol Concert - Tuesday 10 Dec 2024
We welcomed 180 guests to our Fleet Lions' Christmas Carol Concert this year. And a fabulous time was had by all! We invited older and more vulnerable people from the Fleet & Church Crookham area to the event at the Church on the Heath, Elvetham Heath on 10 December. This Christmas Carol Concert was for the lonely, Alzheimer sufferers and those that rarely get out. Entry was free but by invitation.
Fireworks Fiesta 2024 - 2 November
And what a great show that was to celebrate another year of us serving Fleet. 6000 of you came along and enjoyed £5500's of amazing fireworks. Many thanks for your support - we'll do great things with the money we raised. We hope you tucked in to our burgers, 'dogs' and mulled wine. As well as all the other food and drink outlets. And your youngsters enjoyed our trinkets.
Prostate Cancer Screening
We are pleased to announce that the Prostate Cancer screening held on Saturday 31st August 2024 at the Key Centre, Elvetham Heath was fully subscribed. Everyone tested have now received their results.
YOU CAN ALSO GET A SPONSORED HOME SCREENING TEST, SEE BELOW.
Home Prostate screening tests - find the missing men
We are sponsoring home testing kits for prostate cancer. Fleet Lions, working with the Graham Fulford Trust are offering Fleet men aged 40 to 70 a simple finger prick test that can be done at home. It'll take 5 mins to follow the simple instructions. Said Lion Brian Proctor, "with one man dying every hour from prostate cancer and 40,000 new cases every year, a home testing kit could be the best gift for life ever. Early detection and treatment may vastly increase chances of survival." To register for a test and Find out more...
Our Bees - we have our own pollinators!
We have now sponsored a honeybee colony. This is just one of our projects to meet the Lions Clubs International environmental objectives.
In the first video we transferred the colony into its permanent home but we found that the queen was missing. If we didn't get a queen in there the colony was doomed. What happened next? Watch and see here.
Fleet Lions - fancy joining in?
We're always up to something so those could be new opportunities for you. Perhaps you'd like to join us in helping to serve the local community? Let us know if you're interested by using our contact us facility.
We do lots of things around here, you can see them on our website. Maybe you'd like to try them out and see if you'd like to become a member of Fleet Lions, the largest community service group in Fleet. You'd be most welcome.
We also need people to help us run some of the biggest events for the people of Fleet and neighbouring towns to enjoy. e.g. it takes 120 people to put on the fireworks event. Fleet Lions Volunteer Team are a group of people we can call upon to help us - and join in the fun too. And we give people any training that they need.
Fleet Lions Volunteer Team
We organise some of the biggest events for the people of Fleet and neighbouring towns to enjoy. And quite a few of them need numbers on the day beyond the members of our Club e.g. it takes 120 people to put on the fireworks event. We have a group of people we can call upon to help us - and join in the fun too. So we call them the Fleet Lions Volunteer Team and we'll give people any training that they need. We'd also like to make sure everyone also has a bit of play - not just work. So let us know if you're interested by using our contact us facility. Our Branch Club in Aldershot are also keen to find people who'd like to help them at their events. So please contact them too if you'd like to do that: Aldershot Lions' website.
Young People's Bursaries
Fleet Lions have bursaries to help young people fund their trips abroad to help the less fortunate. Apply to bursaries@fleetlions.org.uk
Message in a Bottle
The Lions Message In a Bottle scheme is a simple idea designed to encourage people to keep their personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common location - the Fridge. See a good descriptive video here. Whilst it is focused on the more vulnerable people in our community, anyone can have an accident at home, so this scheme can benefit anyone, including you. More details here. Contact miab@fleetlions.org.uk if you need one/some.
Who are the Lions?
Lions are the largest community service organisation in the world. We raised over $21 million to help protect tens of millions of children in the world's poorest countries from measles. The men and women of Fleet Lions help local people and organisations where there is need. We organise some of the biggest events in the town to keep you entertained - and we have fun doing so!
Do you have some time to spare?

All the help is gratefully received - and hopefully you will enjoy the activity!
