Lions help local students attend Riding for the Disabled in Young; installed hearing loops to help hearing-impaired children in our schools; support students with disabilities attending Lions' amazing accessible Camp Licola in Victoria and so much more.
Their newest project, the Children's Eyesight Screening Program, is seeing primary students assessed for any visual issues. About one quarter of students are being referred on to an optometrist.
With the support of Lions internationally they have provided more than $120,000 in assistance to flood-affected families since the November 2022 disasters.
