What we do

Our motto is “We Serve” and Lions put it into action every day. We’re caring men and women who come together to be the difference in our communities. We believe we can do so much more together than we can alone.
Every day, every way, Lions are investing their time, talents and resources in the communities where we live, work and serve. We believe there is no challenge that can’t be overcome when we unite for good.
Guided by the principle of ‘We Serve’, Lions Clubs in Ireland engage in projects at International, District, Zone and Club levels. Clubs contribute to major Lions projects in the areas of health, refugee support and disaster relief and participate in more than 15 District projects including an Annual Senior Citizens Holiday, Diabetes Awareness, Health Education and Supports, Carers Weekends’, a Food Appeal and Youth Projects which include a Young Ambassador programme, Student Exchanges, a Peace Poster Contest and a Youth Football Championship.

Like all of the 108 Lions Clubs spread throughout Ireland, we try to respond to a wide range of Community needs, such as raising funds for local charities, providing bursaries and scholarships to help with education and donating mini-buses for special needs transport. Our annual food appeal at Christmas provides assistance through Saint Vincent de Paul to local families in need. Raheny Hospice and Don Bosco Care are among the local charities that have benefited from our fund raising efforts.

Some of our other activities include providing financial assistance for environmental projects such as the Bayside Community Association in their creation of a community Orchard, sponsoring football gear for one of Baldoyle United’s underage teams and getting involved in local heritage projects such as the restoration of the Howth Martello Tower and the Eire 6 sign on Howth Head.

Become a Lion

Membership of a Lions Club is by invitation but all Clubs welcome new members so if you would like to help us in our work, please contact your local Lions Club and they will take it from there.

When it comes to serving our local community there is no better way of doing it than through a Lions Club. If you are interested in helping others, we have a project that will allow you to achieve this.

We help the young and the old. We help the blind and the sighted. While most of our work is focused on our local communities, we have many Third World projects. We have Environmental Projects and much more…….
