WOKINGHAM LIONS CLUB
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things
What Do Wokingham Lions Do?
We run numerous fund-raising events throughout the year, including:
#Woky Comedy Nights at the Wokingham Theatre
The Wokingham Classic Motor Show
Last year we raised over £70,000, while the events we organised helped charities raise at least another £55,000 for themselves. We donate most of the money we raise to support local charities, partly through our Golden Awards scheme, but we also support families and individuals facing hardship.
We also donate around 10% to worldwide disaster relief and global causes via Lions Club International Foundation.
We provide services to the local community through projects like Message in a Bottle, ReTec, Spectrek, Lions Share, Can-Can and we support other charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it and organise great social activities for our members.

We've been out and about checking the routes for The Wokingham Walk on Sunday 12th October – to quote John Keats' famous poem "To Autumn" we saw plenty of "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness", with evidence of the last blackberries, hip, haws, sloes, chestnuts, conkers and so many acorns.
If you'd like to see what autumn has on offer around the town why not join us for one of our 5, 10 or 15 mile walks? You can even get sponsored to support your favourite charity!
All the details are on our WokinghamWalk website!
