Bedworth lions  -   During & After the COVID Crisis

During the crisis it has been very different, whilst offering our usual support to individuals & families in need we have been involved additionally supporting the packing, delivery & supply of food parcels for several local organisations.
Our meetings have been virtual, on line & by telephone making some of our work quite difficult.
We cancelled the Civic Bonfire in the miners Welfare Park in accordance with government guidelines.
By the good grace of the police & local authorities we did manage to bring some Christmas cheer by running the Santa Sleigh in a very 'non-contact' way.

At the time of this post - The bonfire is back, styled as Bedworth Charity Bonfire,
on the 6th November 2021. please support this as very many have in the past.
You may have seen us at Bedworth market promoting the men's mental health service we are supporting & promoting; a valuable service to all the men in & around Bedworth.
We hope now to continue as always for the past many decades supporting you in our community.
