Our Service Projects
Monthly Eye Clinic
We run a monthly eye clinic in conjunction with Lions BrightSight where we offer vision screening and professional optometry testing to support members of the community that cannot afford the traditional avenues of vision care. Through Lions BrightSight, we are able to offer services at extremely affordable rates!
Hunger Alleviation
Our Club supports numerous creches, homes and organisations with daily food parcel collection and deliveries through our generous corporate sponsor, Carlswald Lifestyle SuperSpar, Midrand. Food is distributed every day of the week, every month of the year.
This project has been running since 2012.
Diabetes Support
During our monthly eye clinics we offer free blood glucose and blood pressure testing to our community. A registered Sister is available for testing and advice on how to manage diet and lifestyle to remain healthy. Additionally, we are planning to hold a Diabetes Camp early next year for children affected by the disease.
We are extremely grateful to our private and corporate partners who enable us to offer these services to members of our community!
In addition to the above projects, we also run many other ad-hoc projects in our community:
- School and business vision screening projects where we identify individuals that require spectacles;
- Collection of used spectacle frames for the Lions BrightSight project;
