You may have seen Billericay Lions at our bookstall in the High Street every
Saturday morning, or touring the local streets every December with Father
Christmas and our Sleigh, but what you may not know is that we support three
youth projects for the young people of Billericay
International Peace Poster Competition
This is an opportunity to encourage young artists aged 11-13 to think about
the importance of world peace, tolerance and international understanding, and
to pass it on by sharing their unique visions with the world, through
pictures.
Young Leaders In Service
A new scheme to recognize young people aged 12-18 for their community
service within a 12 month period:
• 50 hours of community service = Silver Seal Award
• 100 hours of community service = Gold Seal Award
Recipients will receive a Silver or Gold Award certificate and a
congratulatory letter from the president of Lions Clubs International.
Young Ambassador of the 21st Century
Each year we are look for an exceptional young volunteer aged between 15
and 19 to represent Billericay in a national competition that acknowledges the
work of young people in the community giving them the recognition they deserve
and highlighting the charities and volunteer groups with which they are
involved. We have sponsored 3 successful young volunteers in the last 5 years
each of whom won a £500 bursary towards a community project they planned to
work on.
If you would like to participate in any of these schemes, please ask one of
your teachers in school or a leader in your voluntary organisation to email :
youth@billericaylions.com to find out how to participate.
