About Us

“We Serve”

The Lions Club of Leigh-on-Sea was founded in 1991. We’re a group of volunteers who give our time to humanitarian causes in our local and world communities. We strive to help people experiencing a range of difficulties, or to support specialist organisations that do so. The Lions motto is “We Serve” and our aims are simple:

  • Community Service
  • Fundraising
  • Having fun and making friends

There are over 1.4 million Lions worldwide, and 600+ clubs with a total of some 10,000 members in Britain alone. That means we can draw on and provide support to one another when needed and serve many more people than we could alone.

We are always looking for new members* and helpers; anyone interested in learning more about us is welcome at any of our regular club meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Wednesday, 7.30 pm, at The Estuary Club, 1386 London Road. Leigh on Sea, SS9 2UJ

The Lions Club of Leigh on Sea is a Charitable Trust and is registered, No: 1018796.
