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.

🎶 ROCKIN’ FOR A REASON AT MARVELLOUS FESTIVAL! 🦁🎸
What an absolutely incredible weekend at Dinton Pastures! The sun was shining, the music was pumping, and Wokingham Lions Club was out in full force to support Marvellous Festivals
If you came along, you probably spotted our amazing volunteers! We were:
🚘 Mastering the Car Parks: keeping the traffic moving, smiles on faces, and getting you parked safely so you didn’t miss a single beat.
🪩 Rocking the Silent Disco: Keeping the tunes flowing, the headphones glowing, and the dance floor packed with absolute legends!
Best of all? Every single penny raised from our parking and silent disco efforts is going straight back into the community to support incredible local charities.
A massive thank you to everyone who parked with us & danced with us. You’re helping us make a real difference right here in Wokingham. 💛
Did you catch us at the festival? Drop your favorite memories (or your best silent disco dance moves) in the comments below! 👇

At our Wokingham Lions Club annual celebration a couple of weeks ago we awarded our annual Gerry Aggett award, named in honour of a much loved and much missed member of our club.
It is made to a person who has given outstanding and exceptional service for the benefit of our community – which this year was Ian Wisdom who has, among other things, organised the charitable Twyford Beer Festival for an number of years. The award includes a donation of £2,500 to a charity of the recipients’ choice – Ian chose Orchid – Fighting Male Cancer which he has supported for many years.
Today we were pleased to hand the cheque over at Orchid's offices – here you can see Ian, Ali Orhan – CEO of Orchid, Wokingham Lions President Jennifer Rawsthorne and Lion Karl Boddy!
Raising funds for charities like Orchid is one of the things Lions do – want to join us? Drop us a message!
