? Do you need help raising funds

? Do you want advice on building your management committee

? Are you looking for ways to connect with your local community

The Lions Clubs in Kent, Surrey and Sussex (Lions District 105SE) would like your group to take part in ‘Adopt a Youth Club’. By working together for one year we will help you and your youth group raise money and have the experience of working with a voluntary service club which operates in 207 countries around the world.

Some of the benefits other youth groups have seen through ‘Adopt a Youth Club’:

• Financial support
• Expert help in a variety of professional and functional areas
• The chance to attend or volunteer at major functions
• Provision of equipment and uniforms
• Extra voluntary help at your youth clubs
• Training opportunities
• Wider networking in the community
• Working and volunteering with older generations
• Better press coverage of your activities
• Help in recruiting volunteers

This programme works because Lions Clubs have a lot to offer in terms of administrative advice, legal and financial. Lions also have a lot of experience in raising funds and awareness for the needs of groups.

If you would like to know more or establish contact with your local Lions Club and need support please contact Chris Cook, Club Support and Business Development Officer chris.cook@sussexcyp.org.uk
