We have over 46,000 clubs with 1.3 million members in over 200 countries and are made up of diverse volunteers who provide humanitarian services to vulnerable people. We strive to follow our motto "We Serve" and every penny we raise goes to the cause.
Lions International aim is to make a positive effect in five key areas :
Hunger - Lions volunteer to collect surplus food from various outlets to supply the food banks and the vulnerable. We provide meals to schools and the homeless.

Environment – We care for our Environment with a number of environmental programs, such as recycling unwanted spectacles, tree planting and litter picking. Ensuring that local communities are healthy and sustainable.
Diabetes - Lions promote wellbeing: Promoting awareness of Diabetes and measures to prevent and mitigate it. We have stands at local events / Fairs to promote.
