Just like Good King Wenceslas who travelled through the winter snow to ensure that people were not without fuel to keep warm, Fareham Lions would like to ensure that local people and families are able to stay warm during the cold winter months, without worry about paying their energy bills
Fareham Lions Club follow a format adopted by other Lions Clubs, whereby donations and Winter Fuel Allowances – in full or partial payments – are held in a fund to pay fuel charges for local people & families that are in debt to their energy suppliers.
We work with local agencies and organisations within Fareham and Gosport, especially Citizens Advice Fareham, Citizens Advice Gosport, One Community Fareham, Community Action Fareham and Gosport Voluntary Action to ensure we target those in need.
We know of many people who just can't keep warm during the winter months
