Established in 1964, Swindon Lions Club, is part of Lions Clubs International, which has clubs in more than 200 countries. Over the years, we have raised more than £350,000, with much of the money being spent on good causes in the town.

In Swindon, our many fundraising events include fairs, Easter egg raffles and Christmas collections at supermarkets, with our biggest event being the annual fireworks display at the Polo Ground, which we have organised for more than 30 years.

We have also been fully supportive in donating money to disasters, notably in Japan, Haiti, Pakistan and the Philippines.

We meet at the Village De Vere Hotel, in West Swindon, at 8pm every first and third Monday of each month.

We would be pleased to welcome new members to join our current numbers.. Currently, we have a good mixed group of members aged between 30 and 80 who fundraise, support charities and enjoy a full social calendar.

Our social calendar includes days out, boat trips, quizzes, barn dances, clay pigeon shooting, dinners and a weekend break.
