Wokingham Lions Club makes regular donations to support the work of local charities from the funds we raise from running local events. We also contribute around 10% of what we raise to LCIF, the Lions Club International Foundation.
Support to Families & Individuals
We are happy to support individuals or families in need of help, but we need referrals from organisations such as social services or doctor’s surgeries. If you think we can help please contact us.
Golden Awards
Our Golden Awards Scheme started in 2024, the 50th Anniversary of the Club. The scheme is continuing to run, in it we continue our spirit of giving with awards of £500 each to support local charities and community organisations that wish to start a new initiative and need help with funding.
If you are involved with a local charity or community group that you think would qualify for a Golden Award then please complete an application form.
Charity Support Stories
Earlier this week Wokingham Lions Club attended the opening of the Jasmine Garden in the Phoenix School at Wokingham Community Hospital. The CAMHS Phoenix School provides education for patients aged 11-18 years who have been admitted to CAMHS Phoenix Unit at Wokingham Hospital.
The Club was pleased to make a donation of £5000 during our 50th Charter year to help rebuild the outdoor space to create a beautiful garden area and an outdoor classroom - it's great to see the result!
#WokinghamLions #community #charitysupport
Wokingham Lions Club is one of the four local service groups that organise Wokingham Fireworks which this year has raised £31,000 for local charities!
The Presentation Evening for the proceeds took place on Tuesday 2nd December at Wokingham Town Hall. Members of the four service clubs that make up the Wokingham Charitable Fireworks Trust, Windsor Forest Unicorn Club, the Rotary Club of Wokingham, Easthampstead Rotary Club, and Wokingham Lions Club attended, as well as representatives from the charities receiving donations and other supporters of the 2025 Fireworks Event.
Each service club picks a charity to support and Wokingham Lions choose BIBS (Babies in Buscot Support) - here you can see Gareth May, President of Wokingham Lions, and representing BIBS, Liz Josef and Sam Harris.
Thanks again to our event sponsors: The Wokingham Society, Wokingham Town Council and Prospect Estate Agents.
Finally, a date for your diary. The Wokingham Charity Fireworks Spectacular 2026 will be on Saturday November 7th 2026.
