Looking to Join a Club and Help your Community - Join Lions

Cheltenham Lions is open to anyone who wants to be  part of a club which helps its local community. Lions  come from different walks of life and can be male, female, young or old . The one thing we have in common is a desire to make a difference by supporting good causes in our community.

We are a charity and part of a worldwide network of Lions Clubs, having 1.4 million members across the globe. This enables us to both support local needs and also, as part of an international organisation, to help respond to problems elsewhere in the world such as humanitarian crises when they occur.

Cheltenham Lions’ main focus, of course, is on issues in the Cheltenham area and we are free to decide which local needs we will support, whether that is by helping another local charity or individuals in need. The causes we have supported recently include Sue Ryder, the Cobalt Unit and Cheltenham Oncology, Acorns Children’s Hospice and we also offer free holidays to people in need at our caravan in Burnham on Sea.

  But it’s not just about work! We also have a number of social events throughout the year, because we feel that Lions is also about having fun and, of course, these events help members to get to know each other and build team spirit. We regularly hold coffee mornings and lunches and sometimes evening drinks at a local pub.
