The Lions Club of Jersey
The Lions Club of Jersey

The Lions Club of Jersey was chartered on 30th November 1963 and draws its members from every trade and profession and its current membership includes bankers, retailers, growers, IT professionals, civil and electronics engineers, writers, accountants, importers, surveyors and architects. The Club meets monthly and its members divide themselves into a number of sub-committees dealing with fund-raising, welfare, and social events.

The Lions’ prime function is to serve their local community and, thanks to the generosity of the people of Jersey, the Jersey Lions Club has distinguished itself as one of the most successful Lions Club fund-raisers in Britain. The best-known event with which our name is associated is the annual Lions Swimarathon. Visit www.lionsswimarathon.org to find out more.

Can We Help You?

We provide financial assistance (sometimes physical help as well) for bespoke requests or projects from either individuals, groups or charities. We do not generally assist with on-going, continous running costs,

Maison de Landes

Is a charitable Trust set-up by the Lions Club of Jersey. It is accessible to all. Totally refurbished and relaunched for 2023, Maison des Landes combines the facilities of a modern hotel with those of a community meeting place. The hotel’s 26 rooms offer holiday accommodation to people with disabilities and their carers, while The Community Hub welcomes Jersey’s elderly for events, lunches and social gatherings.

Spectacles For Re-cycling

Lions Club Internationally are committed to supporting eye care throughout the world. Good eyesight enables people to work and enjoy an independent life. The Jersey Lions Club collects old spectacles, which are sent off for re-cycling and eventual re-distribution through our optometrist clinics in the third world. 

Please drop off any unwanted, but serviceable spectacles (not sunglasses) to the Animal Kingdom shops at Halkett Place or Mont Mado, St John or to La Collette Recycling Centre.

Our History and background

LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL was founded in 1917 in the United States by businessman Melvin Jones who felt that successful people like himself and his colleagues should devote some of the energies which had enabled them to succeed in business to serving their local communities. Appropriately he chose “We Serve” as the Lions’ motto.

 

Lions Clubs now exist in more than 170 countries and more than 2.5 million men and women wear the distinctive lapel pin.
