Serving the community

If you are new to Lionism, through these pages you will be able to find out about the work of the international organisation of Lions and our Lions Club in particular. We are always keen to increase our membership which is open to men and ladies. Through Lionism you can make real friends locally, nationally and internationally and also develop your skills in Leadership, Organisation, Publicity and Public Speaking. So if you think you would like to have some fun and also help to serve the local community, please contact us using the "Contact us" screen. We will then get in touch with you to arrange a meeting to tell you more about how our Club works and what you could get out of joining us. If you are a Lion, and perhaps planning to visit our area, we hope that the information on our website will encourage you to visit us.

Please be advised that we will never ask anyone seeking a grant from Lions Clubs International or from any Lions Club to make any payment to secure a Lions grant.

Anyone contacting you by telephone, by letter or online and offering a Lions grant in exchange for a fee or advance payment to secure a Lions grant is doing so fraudulently, and you should not proceed with the matter.

Do you have some time to spare?

For those people who do not wish to become full and active members of a Club we invite you to become a Friend of Matlock Derwent Valley Lions, come along to our social events, and if your are able, help us with some of our projects:

Community Service

• Lions on Loan projects where we lend manpower to local organisations who do not have sufficient members to run their own event
• Supporting events for Chernobyl Children Life Line

Fundraising

• Street Collection
• Santa's Grotto as part of Matlock Victorian Weekend
• Collections at Supermarkets
• If you shop on the Internet you can make a donation to our funds by using Easyfundraising

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