Building A Stronger Community Since 1975
Our Story and Mission
Congleton Lions Club is a member of Lions International (District 105CN - British Isles) and is part of the largest service organisations in the World having 1.4 million members in over 200 geographical areas worldwide.
We were formed in 1975 and follow the moto of "We Serve" the local and further afield community. We are celebrating our 50th year of service to the people of Congleton and the wider community.
Who are the Lions?
Lions are an international network of 1.4 million men and women dedicated to making a difference locally and globally.
Lions strive to meet the needs of our own community and the world, ranging from assisting the visually impaired and working with local youth to medical missions and disaster relief.
Our Motto "We Serve"
Lions Clubs raise money for community projects because their core mission is hands-on humanitarian service.
As your local clubs we know what our town and neighbourhood needs better than outside agencies
We therefore do not receive government funding which helps us to remain completely neutral and trusted by everyone in the community.
We can then respond immediately to local emergencies or individual hardships.
