Redditch Lions Club was chartered in June 1972 as part of Lions Clubs International, and we have now been serving the community of Redditch for more than 52 years, providing physical and financial help to the community and those in need. We are a very active club who meet on the 2nd Wednesday of each month to further our work, enjoy good company, and – above all – to work out how to have a good time serving the community.  

We are a registered charity no 1040301 and raise funds for local good causes and charities. All monies raised are given to these causes as our Club administration costs are borne separately by the members. 

So who are the Lions? --  We are the Lions.  You are the Lions!  We are men and women who are just like you. Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.

There is no obligation to join on your part but if you are interested please drop into one of our regularly scheduled meetings and say hello.  We meet on the second Wednesday of each month in the meeting room at  20:00hrs. at the SOUTHCREST MANOR HOTEL & SPA, Pool Bank, Southcrest, Redditch, B97 4JS.

We invite you to come see what we are all about. We will have a seat open for you to come and observe what we do.  Remember there is no obligation on your part to join our pride.   

So the big question now is, "Why aren't you a Lion yet?"

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization. We have 1.4 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in more than 206 countries and geographic areas.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest. 

Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study byThe Financial Times.

Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.

Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
