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.

#WokinghamLions #WeServe #charitysupport #WokinghamSwimathonWe’re so excited to be taking part again in the upcoming Wokingham Lions Club Swimathon! 🌊
Every length we swim is about so much more than fundraising. It’s about creating change, rebuilding lives and making sure survivors and their families can access specialist, long-term support when they need it.
We’re swimming for fellow survivors who have had to start again.
For the children growing up affected by abuse.
For the families rebuilding their lives.
For the futures that deserve to look different. ✨
And we’d LOVE for you to get behind Team Kaleidoscopic UK by sponsoring our swimmers. 🙌
💙 Every pound raised helps us continue our survivor-led, specialist support and create opportunities for recovery, connection and hope.
Your support can also help us provide our Christmas hampers, bringing a little extra warmth, dignity and joy to families who may otherwise face an incredibly difficult Christmas. 🎄🎁
This isn’t just a swim.
It’s every stroke towards a safer, stronger future. 🏊♀️✨
If you can sponsor our team, no matter how big or small, you’ll be helping us turn fundraising into real, long-term change.
💙 Sponsor Team Kaleidoscopic UK.
💙 Help us keep swimming for survivors.
💙 Help us create change that lasts.
