Presidents Blog July 2025
Hello I’m Julie and I have the honour, this year of being president of Filey Lions.
The Filey & District community is extremely important to me as it has supported my family for many generations.
My working life has been in care & education services meeting the needs of children and young people with learning disabilities & complex needs. Although currently semi retired, I still work part time as a specialist foster carer. I hope to use my work skills to build positive links with the young people of our community.
As a local girl brought up in Filey, I have seen and experienced first hand the generosity and kindness of Filey Lions. My mum “Mary Dag” was a well known lady in Filey (for her baking and community service) and my joining the Lions was initially a tribute to her, but it has become so much more. It has given me a way to pay forward, to make new friends and to support a community that has given me so much.
I look forward to working with and alongside the people and organisations within the Filey & District community, always upholding the Lions motto “We Serve”.
