The Ilminster Lions Club becomes FIRST to Sponsor a Room!

As a result of the generosity of local people supporting their various fund raising activities, such as the current Easter Egg draw, Ilminster Lions Club were willing and able to help Vaughan Lee house with a donation of £1000 to refurbish and include an en-suite in one of their rooms.

Vaughan Lee Residential Care Home was built and is managed by the community on a volunteer basis. In it's 40 year existence it has cared for many hundreds of elderly people. Over the past 5 years they have undertaken an extensive programme of building and refurbishment and are now entering the final phase of converting all thirty rooms to include en-suite facilities. To do this they invited the local community and community groups to "Sponsor a Room".

Ilminster Lions club considered this request at their last meeting and the proposition to sponsor a room was carried unanimously.

In accepting the cheque on behalf of the Vaughan Lee management committee the Chairman, Malcolm Young said “I am delighted to accept this generous contribution from Ilminster Lions club and we are very impressed with how quickly they have come forward to help us. This will pay for one of our rooms to be refurbished and we hope that it will encourage others to come forward to support this project". In response Lions Club President Peter Marshall said "This is a great example of Lions serving their community. At our last meeting every member supported the idea especially as it represented a wonderful opportunity to do something practical in community in recognition of all the magnificent support we always get for our fund raising projects"

Sponsorship of Refurbishment Project Launced

Vaughan Lee House is on a mission. Our objective is to upgrade our current accommodation to ensure that we remain a viable benefit for our current and future elderly from within the Ilminster & District Community and we want you to be a part of it.

The first phase of our refurbishment plan, a 5 bedroom with en-suites extension, will be completed at the end of April 2011. We can then focus on the second phase, our original bedrooms which were built in 1970, by upgrading to en-suite rooms. This is where you come in. We would like you to sponsor the refurbishment of one of our rooms. In return we can offer the following:-

· A name plaque above the room.

· Listing of your generosity on our website (with a link to your website if you have one).

· Listing in our brochure.

· Our eternal thanks for your continued support.

For a £1,000 donation we can accomplish our second phase of refurbishment. We would be happy to show you the plans and take you on a tour.

We look forward to hearing from you.
