Budleigh Lion Richard Allen presented Bicton College with a set of seven Wild Tribe Heroes Books.
On Thursday (March 7) to celebrate World Book Day past president of Budleigh Salterton Lions Club, presented the collection to the college.
The Wild Tribe Heroes books are a collection of gentle and engaging true stories about animals that find themselves in trouble when their lives are affected by plastic pollution, climate change or habitat loss.
Lion Richard also gave a presentation to a group of learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) about the Budleigh Lions Club, Lions Clubs International and how young people aged 8 - 18 years old can get involved with volunteering and serving the local community.
The Lions Young Leaders in Service Awards encourage, guide, mentor and recognise young people (aged 8-18 years) for their community service. On completion of their hours of service, the young people awarded will receive a certificate, a letter of congratulations from Lions Clubs International (MD105) British Isles, and a Young Leaders in Service pin. There are three levels of award: Gold (100+ hrs); Silver (50-99 hrs); Bronze (25-49 hrs).
Any young person interested in the scheme should contact Richard via their website.
