Food Parcels for the needy
Each Christmas Derby Lions are able to make up around 450 food parcels to the needy people of Derby. Thanks to the publicity provided by the Derby Evening Telegraph 61 schools in the Derby area collected tins of food and these were all collected by Lions and brought together for sorting and distribution.
Spectacles
We have bins in several local health centres and shops for collecting unwanted used spectacles. These are sent to a central collection point where the lenses are removed and packaged for use in Africa.
Message in a bottle
The special bottles can be used to store vital information such as repeat prescription forms, contact details of carers, information about family members being supported and whether there are pets to be fed.
Plugsters
Plugsters are small plastic strips which can be attached to any standard 3 pin electrical plugs and they make it easier for elderly or disabled people to remove the plug from a socket.
