Lions International is the world’s largest community service club organisation comprising some 1.4 million people across 49,000 clubs in 200+ countries.
Lions are ordinary volunteers who focus on alleviating some of the challenges faced by communities: they deliver a range of services such as conducting and supporting vision and health screenings, building parks, providing fresh food for food banks, awarding scholarships, assisting & developing young people, providing help in times of natural disaster and much more.
In the British Isles, and the rest of Europe, Lions donate over 5.7 million hours and £88 million to humanitarian causes each year.
As a member of a Lions Club you become aware of the needs of you community and have the opportunity to make a difference. Each Club provides volunteers with project management experience, leadership training, personal development opportunities and organised fundraising programmes.
Being a Lion empowers you to help others in a way that no one person could do alone.
