Charity and giving back to the community has always been a passion of Lion Farah. They are one of the pillars of Islam, and this gives Lion Farah the platform to give back. Farah's In-laws introduced her to Caldicot and Chepstow Lions, as they have been members, and friends of the Lions, for many years and by doing so this also allows Lion Farah to carry on our grandparents' in-laws' legacy.

Lion President Denise became a Lion as she wanted to join a volunteer organisation that would help those in need,  locally. Many large organisations are more nationally focused, but Lions support people in their immediate localities. She finds volunteering to support those in need very rewarding. It’s allowed Lion Denise to use previously gained skills and introduced her to many new friends. 

Lion Alex joined the Lions to help his local community, make new connections, and to help rebuild confidence after being made redundant at work.

Leo the Lion has been a Lion for as long as he can remember. He absolutely loves dancing and jigging around at Lions events, entertaining children, adults, and pets, or even just making them smile. Here he is at one of our mane events (pardon the pun) - Caldicot Lights Switch On - which he loves to do every year. 

Lion Andrea has been involved over the years as a Friend of the Lions, helping out a little bit on occasions. From a family point of view, as the children have now grown, and they have time available - Andrea wanted to 'give back' and volunteer in the local community.

Rachel decided to become a Lion to support an organisation that meant so much to the late John Robinson, a former Lion, and a man very dear to Lion Rachel's heart. Rachel also wanted to do more to help and support others in her local community, just as she has been helped in the past.
