Want to give back — and have a great time doing it?

Join the Lions Club of Canberra Belconnen.

We are ordinary people doing extraordinary things, right here in our community.

For over 50 years, Belconnen Lions has been one of the ACT's most active community service clubs. Our members come from all walks of life — different ages, backgrounds, cultures and careers.

What we share is simple: a desire to give something back and to enjoy doing it.

We are evolving — moving beyond traditional fundraising into more hands-on service projects that make a direct, visible difference to people's lives; and building new partnerships with local schools and colleges, the University of Canberra and ACT Policing.

Why join us?

• First and foremost: it's fun: we enjoy what we do and we enjoy doing it together. As well as our community projects, there are enjoyable dinner evenings and social events for members.
• 100% to the cause: unlike many organisations, we do not deduct administration costs from public fundraising. Every dollar raised goes directly to those in need — no exceptions.
• Local impact you can see: We donate funds to support our local community — people and causes you can see and touch right here in Canberra.
• It fits your life: whether you want a traditional membership, prefer to help with specific tasks when you're available or are interested in a Branch club model — we have a way of getting involved that works for your schedule. We are opening our doors wider than ever before.
• Try before you commit: come along to one of our projects or a social meeting as a guest. See if we're the right fit for you — no pressure, no immediate commitment required.

Diversity and welcome

The Lions Club of Canberra Belconnen is as diverse as Canberra itself. Experience and enthusiasm make a powerful combination. Longer-serving members bring wisdom and networks built over decades. Newer members bring energy and fresh perspectives. Together, we get more done.

We welcome members from all cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Canberra is one of Australia's most multicultural cities. Diversity makes our community stronger and our work more effective.

Through our partnerships with local schools, colleges and the University of Canberra, we are actively engaging with the next generation — not just serving them, but inviting them in.
