Ring Round
Amazing People
During Covid two members of Knaresborough Lions rang about 80 people once a week to have a chat with them.
They were people who'd had their shopping provided by their neighbours.
Some of these folk enjoy a chat on the phone so the Ring Round continues along with the occasional trip out and social event.
The people that talk to us on the Ring Round are amazing.
They've run businesses, managed engineering departments, brought up 6 children, fostered kids for 20 years, transformed gardens and homes, run community organisations, travelled the world.
We're always alongside them looking for opportunities for their talents to be used to benefit the town.
