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.

Latest News
Wokingham Lions Club, as part of a global initiative to promote environmental causes, has recently donated some Wild Tribe Heroes books to Crowthorne Church of England Primary School.
The Wild Tribe Heroes books are a collection of gentle and engaging true stories about animals that find themselves in trouble when their lives are affected by plastic in the oceans or palm oil deforestation.
These books have been donated by the Lions to several local schools, as a useful resource that is relevant to schools curriculum, supporting children’s learning about the world around us.
Caroline Parker deputy head said “ I shared the books with the children in last week’s assembly and they are very excited! We have a new eco section in the library and the children are enjoying borrowing them 😊”

WOKINGHAM’S LION’S CLUB DOING THE CAN -CAN!
Kind-hearted shoppers at Waitrose in Wokingham have been donating canned food and other essential items in support of the Wokingham Lions’ annual Can-Can Appeal.
Volunteers were in high spirits—quite literally doing the Can-Can, as shown in our picture—as they thanked shoppers for their generosity.
The Wokingham Lions would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated, helping to support local people in need this Christmas.

Wokingham Lions Club is one of the four local service groups that organise Wokingham Fireworks which this year has raised £31,000 for local charities!
The Presentation Evening for the proceeds took place on Tuesday 2nd December at Wokingham Town Hall. Members of the four service clubs that make up the Wokingham Charitable Fireworks Trust, Windsor Forest Unicorn Club, the Rotary Club of Wokingham, Easthampstead Rotary Club, and Wokingham Lions Club attended, as well as representatives from the charities receiving donations and other supporters of the 2025 Fireworks Event.
Each service club picks a charity to support and Wokingham Lions choose BIBS (Babies in Buscot Support) – here you can see Gareth May, President of Wokingham Lions, and representing BIBS, Liz Josef and Sam Harris.
Thanks again to our event sponsors: The Wokingham Society, Wokingham Town Council and Prospect Estate Agents.
Finally, a date for your diary. The Wokingham Charity Fireworks Spectacular 2026 will be on Saturday November 7th 2026.
