Presidents & Officers

Wynson Beswick

Wynson Beswick, 2022 - 2023

I am honoured and excited to take up the position of president for this coming year, and I pledge to do all I can to support our wonderful club and the very worthwhile individuals, families, organisations and charities that we in turn support AND SERVE.

Part of my mission is to raise public awareness of who ‘The Lion’s’ are and what we, as a club do. So many local people are familiar with the charity shop but many people don’t know about the bigger picture beyond the shop.

I am in the process of having a promotional video created to demonstrate how the La Cala Lions SERVE the local community. We live in a digital world and it is vital that we evolve and don’t miss this enormous opportunity to promote the charity. I would like to discuss with the club the possibility of creating a new position for a ‘Digital Social Media Manager’. This person would manage and grow our digital presence and promote the La Cala Lions across social media channels ie facebook/Instagram and the web.

I will of course propose that the club continue to support global causes when requested; – our long-standing charities; – the youth sport activities; – schools; – homeless people – and the individuals & families within our local area that need our help. Something new I hope the club will be in favour of adding to the numerous sporting activities we facilitate, is riding for disabled children, it has been shown to be a life-changing therapy in so many ways for children with disabilities.
