Since the first club was formed in Australia almost 75 years ago, Lions has grown dramatically in size and impact with over 1300 clubs and 30,000 members now giving back through an array of community-based programs and initiatives. The Lions Club of the City of Adelaide was the first club established in South Australia 60 years ago and is still going strong. We are on a mission to cure childhood cancer and diabetes, committed to assisting those impacted by drought and floods, and simply working together as a team to help people in need in our local community. One thing all Lions have in common is together we are making an incredible difference. Lions Awareness Day is not only an opportunity to recognise the incredible impact of Lions but also the changing face of volunteering in Australia. Volunteering is critical to keeping our communities well and functioning and for 75 years, Lions have been supporting communities across Australia. From raffles, sausage sizzles and trivia nights, to environmental work and supporting the deaf, blind and vulnerable, our volunteers are traditionally very hands on and involved in their communities. While all clubs operate in their own way, it’s been wonderful to see so many of our clubs finding new ways to support each other and their communities. From virtual meetings and fundraising to new projects, our organisation has really adapted and evolved during the past year. If you are interested in making a difference, contact us to find out how you can get involved. There’s a lot more to Lions than barbecues. Join the Lions Club of the City of Adelaide today and you can help make a difference too.
