     Who are the Lions?

 

Lions Clubs are an international network of men and women who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities across the world.
 

What do we do?

We serve our community by arranging and taking part in events that provide funds or resources for good causes or individuals, especially those in and around Bridport.

Lions have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Our members also give their time to helping others, while enjoying the fellowship of others.
 


Bridport Lions donated over £9000 to local causes last year.

We cover all costs from our own administration fund, ensuring that all public donated monies go to LIONS chosen causes.

 

The Financial Times has ranked Lions Clubs International Foundation the “best among non-government organizations worldwide with which to work”.
 


We are proud that our organization is close to a century old, and that it has a distinguished history of doing good works for the world. Local communities respect and trust their clubs, both because those clubs are made up of neighbours and friends who have a long record of support, and because of the Lions Clubs International name and legacy.
 


Lions are the only voluntary organization accredited to the United Nations

We have fun in our clubs. And when we meet fellow Lions for the first time, we treat them like old friends.
 


Lions arranged and paid for 20,000 cornea transplants around the world last year

When you join Lions, you join a global service network. So at the same time you’re helping your own community locally, you can also contribute to Lions community efforts in other countries.
 


Lions introduced the use of white sticks for the blind through a member, Helen Keller.
