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.

🏊♂️Now in its third year, the Wokingham Lions Swimathon 2026 returns on Sunday 20th September! A chance for you to raise funds for your school or favourite charity by swimming in Nuffield Health's 20m pool.
Organised by Wokingham Lions Club, the Wokingham Swimathon is an event for all ages and swimming abilities in which teams of up to 8 persons can swim in relay and raise money for their favourite cause.
The Swimathon is designed to be a fun event – it’s not a race. You’ll be swimming with family, friends or colleagues while raising money for good causes.
Thanks to Nuffield Health and Clifton Ingram for their support & sponsorship!

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 😊”
