Join Lions

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest community service organisation. Since 1917, Lions and Leos have given their time to support the causes that matter most in their own towns — from sight and health, to youth, the environment, hunger relief and disaster response — under one simple motto: We Serve.

Why join?

Lions is local. Every club decides for itself what its own community needs most, and members give as much or as little time as suits their life — a monthly meeting, a working bee, a fundraising sausage sizzle. You'll find friendship, purpose, and a direct, visible way to make your town a better place.

Find your nearest club
