Who are the Lions?

Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest Service Club Organisation.

Lions are an international network of over 1.3 million men and women in over 44,000 clubs in 200+ countries, who work together through selfless, effective community service, to answer the needs that challenge many communities.

Lions are individuals from all walks of life, who volunteer their time to humanitarian causes in their local and global communities, conducting and supporting vision and health screenings, building parks, awarding scholarships, assisting youth, providing help in times of disaster and much more.

In the British Isles and Ireland and throughout 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 will become aware of the needs of your community and have the opportunity to make a difference. Each Club provides volunteers with project management experience, leadership training, personal development opportunities and organised fund raising programmes.

Being a Lion empowers you to help others in a way that no one person could do alone.
