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
Last year we raised over £100,000, and we estimate our events helped charities raise at least another £100,000 for themselves. We donate most of the funds raised to support local charities, partly through our Golden Awards.
We directly support families and individuals facing hardship.
We donate around 10% to 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, Recycled For Sight, Child Sight UK and Lions Share. We also support charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers with their activities whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it, organising great social activities for our members.
