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 £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, Recycled For Sight, Child Sight UK and Lions Share. We also support other charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers with their activities whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it and organise great social activities for our members.

Wokingham Lions Club ⭐️ Golden Award ⭐️
We regularly make donations of £500 to support local Wokingham charities and community organisations that wish to start a new initiative and need help with funding.
Our next award winner is – The Chill and Fun Crew! A community club supporting children with SEN
This community club's mission is to create a welcoming, understanding and inclusive community for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), neurodivergent children, and families who may feel isolated, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn for support. Through their not-for-profit project, 'The Chill and Fun Crew', they provide relaxed, sensory-aware stay-and-play sessions for children aged 5–12 and their families in a safe, informal and non-judgemental environment.
One of the core aims of the organisation is to celebrate and support children’s deep interests and passions — something that is incredibly common in neurodivergent children, yet often misunderstood in everyday settings. Many children with SEN develop strong special interests in areas such as animals, gaming, Pokémon, Minecraft, art, sensory play, nature, baking, beauty, crafts or collecting. These interests are not “just hobbies”; they are often how children regulate emotions, build confidence, communicate, learn and connect with others. Despite this, there are very few local clubs where children can safely explore these interests freely, without pressure, overstimulation or fear of being judged.
The Chill and Fun Crew has been designed to fill that gap. Their sessions are intentionally unstructured and child-led, allowing children to explore activities at their own pace in ways that feel comfortable and enjoyable to them. We plan to offer a wide range of engaging experiences tailored around children’s interests, including animal handling visits, slime workshops, Lego and gaming activities, cake decorating, arts and crafts, hairdressing experiences, sensory play and more. Alongside this, we aim to invite a variety of professionals to sessions so that parents can access informal advice, guidance and signposting in a relaxed and approachable setting.
The £500 grant will be used to help launch and develop new inclusive activities, sensory support resources and special-interest-based experiences within 'The Chill and Fun Crew' sessions for children with SEN and neurodivergent children in our local community.
A key priority would be purchasing tablets that can be used as communication devices and accessible learning tools for children who may struggle with verbal communication, social interaction or emotional expression. Many neurodivergent children communicate more confidently through technology, visual supports and interest-led activities, yet families often do not have access to these resources in community settings. The tablets would allow children to engage in communication apps, creative activities, calming sensory games and accessible learning opportunities during sessions.
