We received this wonderful letter from a Wetherby resident, for whom we sourced and arranged delivery of a mobility scooter.
Resulting in positive life changing freedom.
It’s always heartwarming to be able to help and know we made a difference.

My New Independence.
I initially approached the Wetherby Lions simply looking to purchase a second hand scooter myself after being housebound for many years, but they kindly offered to provide one.
I still can hardly believe it; I am so glad and grateful to finally have a mobility scooter.
Living with painful mobility challenges at a relatively young age can make the world feel very small.
Having a suitable scooter has completely changed my daily routine and in fact, my life.
I no longer have to worry about getting the dog out or being restricted to the house, day in day out.
The best part of having this scooter is the freedom it has given back to me.
It has truly opened up my world, allowing me to get out and about independently for the first time in many years, enjoy a simple trip out with my children and the dog and live life on my own terms again.
It has made a massive difference to my life, my mental health and my freedom.
I am genuinely in awe of the Lions' kindness.
Thank you so much.

It's always nice to receive a heartfelt thankyou.

A Heartfelt Thank You from Bramham Village Hall

Grants from the Wetherby District Lions are directly empowering local efforts to combat social isolation and ease rising living costs.
Bramham Village Hub, operating out of Bramham Village Hall, is a vital, resident-led community hub which provides a warm and supportive environment for villagers of all ages. We are making great use of grants from the Wetherby District Lions to provide a warm, safe, and free-to-access weekly meeting space at the Village Hub for local residents. As the cost of living continues to impact local families, this funding helps ensure that Bramham Village Hall can continue to offer a welcoming, free-to-access space for residents to connect, combating social isolation and fostering community spirit by providing a warm and supportive environment for anyone struggling to make connections and make ends meet.
Lions funding and monthly gift card support has helped underwrite the core costs of running our weekly, drop-in community café. This allows us to serve fresh soup, hot drinks, and home-baked treats, ensuring a welcoming space for anyone looking to connect, where residents can meet up and share stories without financial pressure. It also allows us to provide free refreshments to foster local community engagement at the regular local ward councillor surgeries - and the signposting talks we run with other community organisations, such as the Dogs Trust, the Food Bank, In2Out and WiSE.

The Bramham Village Hall Committee and our dedicated band of volunteers wish to express their deepest gratitude to the Wetherby District Lions. We send a massive thank you to the Wetherby District Lions Club for your ongoing generosity and commitment to our village. Your support does far more than just help buy the biscuits.....it helps us keep our doors open and bring people together all year round, and represents a direct investment in the mental and physical well-being of our community. From the bereaved and isolated seeking a supportive network, to the older residents looking for meaningful conversation, your support makes everyone feel valued and included. Thank you for standing alongside us and making these essential services possible!
