Welcome to the home page of Hinckley and Burbage Lions Club which has been serving the local community for over half a century.
Formed in 1975, it is comprised of around 20 like-minded people, who believe in helping primarily those living in the area, but where necessary, the wider world, as a part of the international Lions movement.
This year our club, whose motto is ‘We Serve’, has decided to donate part of funds raised from our annual sponsored walk around Bosworth Battlefield to join the fight against cancer and is sharing part of the cash raised with several charities in our area, fighting the disease.
Other fundraising events have included two successful craft fairs, a fashion show, collections for foodbanks, race nights, Burbage Common Open Day and Hollycroft Park fun day.
During Christmas, we carry out a highly valued club tradition of delivering gifts to staff and patients at Hinckley Hospital, as well as helping with the annual Marie Curie Cancer Appeal collection. And you can also see us helping to ensure the Burbage Bonfire night display is such a roaring success in November.
We have also been boosted with the addition of several new members which has brought a new dynamic to our meetings but anyone who wishes to join will be made most welcome.
But it is not just fundraising, there have been frequent social events where members can meet in a more relaxed atmosphere, helping to engender the spirit of Lionism.
Lions are ordinary people who do extraordinary things to help others and support good causes. Globally we have more volunteers in more places than any other service club organisation. It's one of the best kept secrets around, so If you want to know more find us on Facebook -
