100 Years of Service!

As part of our organisations 100th Year of Service we are celebrating in many ways. As well as the Lion Treasure Trail we also sponsored the St Marychrurch Experience with flower Planters. 

Lions Everywhere! 

Over the summer we have been celebrating 100 years of Lions Clubs International with a campaign across the bay. Working together with Brixham Lions Club and Paignton Lions we have 100 lions around the bay with information leaflets on all three clubs. Along side the Lions we have been running a Lion Treasure Trail to keep the young ones amused over the summer. 

Lion Treasure Trail

Babbacombe and St Marychurch Lions Club has joined together with Paignton and Brixham Lion Clubs for the 100th year of Lions. Our clubs has placed our first two lions somewhere in the Bay. Can you guess where they are?? Don't forgot to try and find as many as you can to win a prize!

2017 is the 100th year of Lions Clubs International and to celebrate here the bay Babbacombe & St. Marychurch Lions Club, Brixham Lions Club and Paignton lions are doing a Lions Treasure trail!

There will be 100 toy lions across the bay in shops, hotels and restaurants throughout Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. Each lions will be accompanied by leaflets which gives you more information and contact details for each of the three clubs.

100 Years of Lions Club International

For nearly 100 years, Lions have served their communities with dedication and contributed to the development and well-being of millions of people around the world. To celebrate our 100th anniversary, we are asking Lions to help reach our Centennial Service Challenge goal of serving more than 100 million people by June 2018.

Your club can make a difference in your community and contribute towards the goal by participating in the four Centennial Service Challenge Campaigns. You decide when to serve and which projects are right for your club and community.

Engaging our Youth
Support youth in your community, or inspire the next generation of volunteers by inviting Leos and other local youth to serve on a project with you.

Sharing the Vision
Prevent future cases of unnecessary blindness through vision screenings and educational events. Give the gift of sight through projects that benefit those who are blind or living with low vision.                                                           

Relieving the Hunger
Improve access to healthy food for vulnerable populations in your community.

Protecting our Environment
Protect and improve the environment to make your community a healthier place to live for everyone

The British Isles and Ireland have been set their own challenge for the Centennial.
