We all have important values and ideas, things we care about and want to share. Sometimes we feel our ideas can even change the world, and we want to let other people know how they can join in and make all our lives better.
On the following pages we hope to impart what it is we do, how we help others and how by joining us, you to can share in the service we provide to others.
Lions Clubs International are the largest voluntary service organisation in the world. Worldwide membership totals more than 1,300,000 and Clubs exist in more than 200 Countries. Each Club works to serve its own local community, as well as national and international projects. In 2008 Lions Clubs International were voted the best Non Governmental service organisation in the world. As a worldwide organisation we can, through our local clubs, provide immediate emergency help at the point of need.
Kingswinford and Stourbridge Lions Club works to serve our local community by raising funds to support charitable organisations as well as providing members who give of their time in direct service to individuals and organisations. We hold business meetings twice per month as well as many fund raising events.
We currently raise funds by running raffles, quiz nights, operating a catering caravan that serves at School fetes and youth football tournaments, a weather lottery and street collections with Santa on his sleigh at Christmas.
We hold an annual "Have a go Day" to provide fun and competition for handicapped people from the various local centres and an annual charity concert to which elderly local people are invited to come and enjoy an evening¹s entertainment.
We could do so very much more if we had more members, you can help by either joining our club or providing manpower at many of our events.
