Grow with GLOW: Fleet Lions

Interview with Laura Roberts from Fleet Lions. Original Broadcast - 19th October 2025.Laura talks all about how Fleet Lions supports local causes voices you may never see, organisations that quite simply wouldn’t exist without their backing and how meaningful that work really is.Based in Fleet, Hampshire, Fleet Lions is a well-established community organisation whose core mission is helping local people and organisations in need. Over the years, they’ve run major events (like firework displays and beer festivals), managed fundraising drives, and operated community help initiatives such as the “Message in a Bottle” medical-info programme and a community store that gives essential goods to families in need. In this episode, we’ll dive into: • What “supporting local causes” really looks like: how Fleet Lions mobilises people, raises funds, and channels help where it counts. • Laura’s insights on behind-the-scenes: the logistics, the volunteer heartbeat, and the unsung moments that keep the wheels turning. • Why many local organisations wouldn’t exist without the kind of backing that Fleet Lions provides a reminder that community impact often happens quietly but powerfully. • What this means for business-owners and networkers: how you can connect, contribute and collaborate with local causes in meaningful ways (and glow while you do it).If you believe business and community go hand-in-hand, or if you’ve ever been curious about what truly keeps local charities afloat, this episode with Laura is one to bookmark.
