🙌 Hands up if you know why this week has been so special?
It’s Volunteers’ Week! 💙🦁
A whole week dedicated to recognising the amazing people who give up their time to help others and support their communities. And here at Highworth and District Lions Club, we simply couldn’t do what we do without our incredible volunteers.
From serving customers in our charity shop, organising events, fundraising, and helping behind the scenes — to supporting local families, elderly residents, schools, sports clubs and community projects — our volunteers truly are the heart of everything we do.
Words never quite feel enough to say thank you… but we thought we’d give it a go anyway. ✨
✨🦁✨🦁✨🦁✨🦁✨🦁✨🦁✨
Not all heroes wear a cape,
Some give kindness day by day.
Through every season, rain or shine,
The Lions proudly serve their time.
In Highworth town their hearts run deep,
Supporting neighbours, young and weak.
From the charity shop’s friendly door,
To helping those who need much more.
They help with screenings that could save lives,
Supporting men, their dads and wives.
Prostate checks that bring new hope,
Helping families learn to cope.
They drive the elderly into town,
So no one feels forgotten or down.
Mini bus trips with laughs and cheer,
Creating memories year to year.
School uniforms for those in need,
Helping children to succeed.
Football kits for local teams,
Giving youngsters hopes and dreams.
Defibrillators placed with care,
To help protect the community there.
A gift of time, a gift of heart,
That keeps our town safe from the start.
And who could miss that festive sleigh,
Bringing smiles along the way?
Santa waving in the night,
Filling streets with pure delight.
Now vision screening soon will start,
Helping children from the heart.
Making sure young eyes can see,
A brighter future waiting to be.
So if you spot a Lion near,
With raffle books or festive gear,
Just know behind each smile you see,
Is someone helping tirelessly.
This Volunteers’ Week let’s give a cheer,
For our Lions who serve all year! 🦁💙
To every volunteer past and present — thank you for everything you do for Highworth and the surrounding communities. You really do make a difference every single day. 💙
