Lions help local students attend Riding for the Disabled in Young; installed hearing loops to help hearing-impaired children in our schools; support students with disabilities attending Lions' amazing accessible Camp Licola in Victoria and so much more.
They also offer programs like Lions Youth of the Year.
Their newest project, the Children's Eyesight Screening Program, is seeing primary students assessed for any visual issues.
About one quarter of students are being referred on to an optometrist from this program.
With the support of Lions internationally our Forbes and District Lions have provided more than $120,000 in assistance to flood-affected families since the November 2022 disasters.
Our local Lions club continues to distribute disaster relief to those affected by the flood events of November 2022.
You can contact Peter Bright on 0419463803 to find out more: you will need your Disaster Registration (DD) Number for your application.
