Charities
Uttoxeter Lions To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs.
We are a wildlife and local heritage conservation charity, operating across the Vale of Evesham, and Pershore (Worcestershire). Founded in 1999 we work with local partners to successfully deliver conservation projects, specialising in orchards and grasslands. We help mitigate against the dramatic loss of these key habitats which were once iconic and vital parts of the Vale’s landscape. We do this by acquiring, restoring, and connecting these valuable habitats, sensitively managing them with the support of our volunteers to create a living legacy to benefit wildlife and people. We also attend local and national level events, engaging with communities to help people better understand the wildlife and heritage around them. Without the work we do, the Vale would have lost a significant part of its living heritage, sites that not only link it to its fruit growing past, but those that are home to endangered and high priority species, such as the Noble Chafer (Gnorimus nobilis), Grizzled Skipper (Pyrgus malvae), and Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta).

Verity is a self-help group for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The group was established in 1997 to share the truth about the condition and improve the lives of women living with PCOS. The charity is run by a dedicated board of trustees and team of Volunteers and thousands of women in the UK and internationally. Verity is run by women with PCOS who are not medically qualified and so cannot offer specific advice. It is always recommended that you seek professional medical advice, by calling the Samaritans, on the above telephone number, finding a GP, or connecting with other PCOS ladies online, see our website above for further details.
