Lions Crimewatch and Speakup Committee

LIONS CRIMEWATCH and SPEAKUP COMMITTEE

The Victorian Crime Watch Speak Up Inc. Committee represents the five Lions Districts in Victoria, and Southern New South Wales in Australia.

It was founded in 1983 to assist Lions Clubs to be on the lookout for neighbourhood crime. An ongoing purpose is to assist children who may experience stress through accidents, death of family members, or through involvement with emergency service or the Children’s or Coroner’s Courts.

The Committee encourages Clubs to purchase Teddy Bears for donation to local emergency services, or participate in one of our other projects.

OUR PROJECTS

We assist Clubs with, and promote, the community projects below

OPERATION BEAR

With your clubs ongoing support of this worthwhile project "Operation Teddy Bear" is able to continue to supply bears to the Victorian Police and their SOCA unit, Bail Justice Association, the CFA, Air Ambulance and the State Emergency Service Victoria. We also supply bears to other worthy institutions such as hospitals, children's cancer units and other organisations dealing with children in distressed situations.

With your generous donations last year we were able to keep the program going and have a friendly bear within reach to those that needed it.

OPERATION SAFE PLATE

We assist Clubs with obtaining one way screws and ideas on how to promote this worthwhile community project.

The project can be run anywhere and ideas include obtaining assistance from:

The local police
Neighbourhood watch
Retirement Villages
Shopping Centres
Other businesses or groups

Run a community BBQ, sell Christmas Cakes, or promote your Club at the same time. It's a great chance to work along side other groups, maybe the Scouts, or Guides.
