Billingshurst & District Lions Club (Apr 2024)

Lions in the Community -

Mobility Scooters & Little LifeSavers.

For some time, Billingshurst & District Lions Club has offered a limited number of Mobility Scooters for free loan to those who could benefit from using one. The latest request came through the Billingshurst Street Pastors, who let the Club know that Steven Forrest, now residing at Osmund Court retirement home, needed an electric Scooter. 

Steven has been a resident at Osmund Court on Rowan Drive since November last year. Forced to move from his last accommodation due to difficulty manoeuvring his wheelchair through narrow doorways, he has a spacious ground floor room looking onto a lawn area with trees beyond, and can watch wild life flitting around; a big improvement on his previous outlook facing a wall and sheds.

Prior to retirement, Steven worked for EDF Energy in their Customer Service Department. He enjoys reading, doing crosswords and puzzles, but with the use of a Mobility Scooter, he can now easily venture into the village giving him far more independence. 

 Two Billingshurst Lions Mobility Scooters are currently available to anyone living in Billingshurst, or in the surrounding villages in the Lions Club’s “District”. To check availability, please contact Joan Bobker, in the first instance, on Tel: 0845 833 5965 or E-mail joanmike38@hotmail.com for an Application Form for consideration.

Free safety awareness training can be arranged.

Lions Charity Golf Day for Little LifeSavers.

Arrangements are now in hand for the ever popular Billingshurst Lions Charity Golf Day at  Slinfold Golf and Country Club on Friday, 24 May 2024. The chosen charity this year is Little LifeSavers, formed to provide free scripted bystander-CPR skills to school children and pass on the skills needed to create a “nation of lifesavers”. www.littlelifesavers.org

Billingshurst Lions Golf Days always represent excellent value with golfers knowing that they are supporting a deserving charity. Entry fees include refreshments on arrival and a meal after the golf, followed by the usual range of excellent prizes.
