This page is where we go into a little more detail about things we have done in the past and hope to be doing in the future to help people in need. Because we are part of Lions Clubs International, as well as providing practical and financial help to the people who live in the Swansea Valley we can proudly contribute to the efforts of Lions Clubs worldwide providing help for Tsunami victims and the people of Bosnia - to name just two of the thousands of projects in which Lions are involved.
Not least amongst theses projects is 'Campaign Sight First II'; this campaign has the object of eliminating curable and preventable blindness throughout the World. Not even the wealthiest nations of the world are brave enough to take on that challenge but Lions are not only taking it on - we are succeeding! Wouldn't you like to be part of that?
However, like every other Lions Club throughout the world, our 'home turf' is where we do most of our work. Quite obviously, we cannot go into details about a lot of the help that we have provided because we are honour bound to respect the privacy of the many individuals who we assist but the following organisations have been helped over the last year:
| 2006 | August | Llangyfelach Colts - a soccer team for 4-5 year olds | £50.00 |
| Glais Development Trust | £100.00 | ||
| October | Campaign Sight First II | £550.00 | |
| Katie Davies - District Young Ambassador of the Year | £100.00 | ||
| St Johns Ambulance, Ystalyfera | £200.00 | ||
| December | Christmas Hamper - mainly hard labour collecting and packing food! | £200.00 | |
| December | Welsh Dragon Burns Club - Christmas Party | £250.00 | |
| 2007 | February | Pontardawe Netball Team | £350.00 |
| Campaign Sight First II | £500.00 | ||
| March | South Wales Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre | £300.00 | |
| Edukits - 'Schools in Box' for disaster areas | £110.00 | ||

We would like to point out that the Glantawe Lions Club incorporates the Glantawe Lions Club Charitable Trust Fund (Registered Charity No. 1079936); a significant proportion of the above donations were made through the Charitable Trust Fund.
