“Ordinary people doing amazing things”
The usual answer to the question starts with the organisation, Lions Clubs International, and works down but I think it’s better to start with the slogan above.
My experience of Lions is based on Clubs in the UK and here Lions is several groups of like minded people who want to put something back into the community where they live. Lions Clubs serve their town or village through a wide range of fund raising and service activities supporting the elderly, the young, the disadvantaged and the needy.
Throughout the UK and Ireland this is repeated in around 900 different towns and villages so you’re never far from a Lions Club. You can find a club near you at the UK & Ireland Lions website or by telephoning 0845 833 9502.
