What types of Clubs are there

are just for men. In addition we have lady only Clubs, the Lionesses
and for the younger members of the community we have the Leos. So
however you like to get together there is sure to be a Club to met
your requirements.

we are in East Anglia. Each District is further sub-divided into
Regions.

All
Clubs agree to abide by the Code of Ethics and Purposes of Lions Clubs
International. Having said that each Club tends to run its own affairs

The
Social Side

-
Clubs
in our District arrange social events throughout the year. There is no
obligation on Members to join in but they generally do.

Clubs
like to celebrate their founding with a Charter Night - a form of
birthday party - which may be a dinner dance or possibly a simple get
together in a pub.

We Offer

The
Caring Side

We
help those less fortunate than ourselves. In order to do this we raise
money to make donations to worthy causes.
-
Many
of our Clubs also have a “hands on approach, this may mean digging a
garden, helping to decorate an old persons bathroom etc.

To
cover our administration costs and dues to the central organisation we
pay a small subscription and arrange sponsorships from local
businesses.
