Bergvliet Lions donated cupcakes to the Christian Assemblies Church in Parkwood. They arranged an outing for 70 seniors to tourist spots along the False Bay coast. The bus was able to accommodate several wheelchairs and other mobility aids, so no one had to stay at home! The seniors thoroughly enjoyed their day out and it was a welcome break for them, as some live on their own and are lonely.
Another Mental Health and Well Being project.

Be a Buddy not a Bully
Bergvliet Lions responded to an appeal from 4 final year B.ED Foundation Phase students at Varsity College. This year as part of their Teaching Experience, they have been assigned to do a Social Action Plan, where they have decided on raising awareness about bullying that happens in our schools.
With this, they created various projects to be implemented in a local school, where they as students needed to gather their own resources in providing a service to the school. They reached out to the community to ask for any donations to make this project a reality. With these resources, they aim to implement their projects of Buddy Boxes and Kindness Trees as well as making and trading of friendship bracelets amongst the learners to show kindness and appreciation to their peers.
They appealed for acrylic art paints, paint brushes and bracelet kits for the friendship bracelets. Our club donated 2 bracelet kits as well as paints and paint brushes.
This is one of our projects for Mental Health and Well-Being Week of Service

In October 2024, Bergvliet Lions Club was delighted to have a visit from a former member of our club, Lion Meryl Ramsay. She is now a member of the Bexhill-On-Sea Lions club in the UK. She suggested that we work together on a meaningful project, which she would ask Bexhill to fund. That is when the Rosedon House Food Garden came about.
This food garden project will encompass two facilities of the Western Cape Cerebral Palsy Association.
The Village Work Centre is a protected work centre for people with cerebral palsy. They are building custom made boxes, which will enable those in wheelchairs to access the planters. A lot of work is going into getting the boxes at the right height. Some of the workers are also resident at Rosedon House.
Rosedon House is a 24 hour residential care home. They currently have 47 adult residents. The aim of the home is to provide a safe and happy place for the residents. They also have a life skills programme that helps develop their skills and gives them a sense of independence. As they get older, they also provide frail care for those needing it.
The residents will help maintain the food garden and use the produce throughout the organisation of the Western Cape Cerebral Association.
Lion Alison Arnott put together a comprehensive quote on what is needed and the cost. Quote included 12 planter boxes, garden tools, wheelbarrow, hose and watering can.
Compost and potting soil will be needed too. Once the boxes are made and filled with soil etc we will see to the purchase of seedlings. The quote included 12 trays of seedlings. Thereafter, the Bergvliet Lions will be responsible for replenishing the seedlings, according to the season.
Our quote was accepted and we were delighted to receive a donation of £1 500!
