Who we are

Our club is made up local volunteers with a wide range of ages, interests and ideas, having fun whilst working to a common end - serving our community and beyond. Being a Lion helps to change peoples' lives. Even if you do not have a lot of time to spare, any contribution of service to those in need is worthwhile.

We meet each month, on the last Monday of the month, at Glen Gorse Golf Club, A6, Oadby at 7.00 p.m. Come along to find out how you can make a difference too.

You are also welcome to attend any of our social events, to get to know members of the club, learn about Lions Clubs, and how you can contribute. Join us at our monthly Movie Night in South Wigston (on the fourth Friday of the month (7pm start). Click here for more information.

We also enjoy working on community and charity fund raising projects throughout the year. When we fundraise we make sure that 100% of the funds donated by the public are passed on to the charities we are supporting. Members' subscriptions pay for the running costs of the club.

Lions Clubs International (LCI)

Lions are ordinary people who do extraordinary things to help others and support good causes throughout the British Isles. Globally we have more volunteers in more places than any other service club organisation, and love to help others and make things happen. Every Lions Club supports a range of good causes and projects in its area where you can get involved. Every day Lions are having fun by organising remarkable and memorable fundraising activities. Every year in Europe alone, Lions Clubs’ members volunteer around 6 million hours of service and raise £88 million to support the needs of local communities. Because we are local, we serve the unique needs of the communities in which we live. As we are global, we can address community challenges wherever they occur.
