The help given has included taking the women out shopping, teaching them how to cook meals and make cakes, flower arranging, swimming, and at times being someone to talk to.

Financial help has come from members of the Club who have formed a swimming team and joined the Poole Lions Swimathlon for the last two years. This has enabled us to raise over £8,000 and made a difference to these women in the safe house
