Chester Lions celebrated 63 years of achievement in 2023

In 1917 in America a group of business men and professionals formed the first Lions Club to serve their local community and the first Lions Clubs appeared across Europe and in the UK from 1945 onwards.  When Chester Lions was formed in 1960 there were very few clubs across the UK.  Lions Clubs International is the largest voluntary services organisation in the world today with more than 46,000 clubs and 1.4million members in 200 countries across the world.

Since 1960,Chester Lions Club has raised over £2m, with over 90% supporting local charitable causes and the rest in response to national and international appeals.
