Young people across our Lions District are making a real difference in their communities and again this year Lions Clubs are being asked to identify these young people as candidates for the Lions Young Ambassador of the 21st century Award.
The scheme is open to young people aged 15-18, nominated by a Lions or Leo club and offers an opportunity not only to gain recognition locally and nationally, but potentially to progress through to the national and even European finals.
Judges are particularly interested in the candidate’s commitment to community service, alongside their personality, leadership qualities and ability to communicate their passion for helping others.
We raised £1000 for the Great Western Air Ambulance service via our recent Duck Race.
We had lots of fun at our Duck Race at Keynsham Music Festival on the 4th July.
Although some of us are 'laying down' on the job!
We have been at Somerset Square, Nailsea promoting the club and looking for volunteers to join our proposed Nailsea Hub. Thank you to everyone that took the time to speak to us and fill out our Community Needs Questionnaire. We will also be at the same location on various Saturdays throughout the year.

We were at the Keynsham Winter Festival with Santa.
