WOKINGHAM LIONS CLUB
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things
What Do Wokingham Lions Do?
We run numerous fund-raising events throughout the year, including:
#Woky Comedy Nights at the Wokingham Theatre
Last year we raised over £100,000, while we estimate the events we organised helped charities raise at least another £100,000 for themselves. We donate most of the money we raise to support local charities, partly through our Golden Awards scheme, but we also support families and individuals facing hardship.
We also donate around 10% to worldwide disaster relief and global causes via Lions Club International Foundation.
We provide services to the local community through projects like Message in a Bottle, ReTec, Recycled For Sight, Child Sight UK and Lions Share. We also support other charities, fellow Lions Clubs and fund-raisers with their activities whenever we can.
Finally, we have fun doing it and organise great social activities for our members.

At our Wokingham Lions Club annual celebration a couple of weeks ago we awarded our annual Gerry Aggett award, named in honour of a much loved and much missed member of our club.
It is made to a person who has given outstanding and exceptional service for the benefit of our community – which this year was Ian Wisdom who has, among other things, organised the charitable Twyford Beer Festival for an number of years. The award includes a donation of £2,500 to a charity of the recipients’ choice – Ian chose Orchid – Fighting Male Cancer which he has supported for many years.
Today we were pleased to hand the cheque over at Orchid's offices – here you can see Ian, Ali Orhan – CEO of Orchid, Wokingham Lions President Jennifer Rawsthorne and Lion Karl Boddy!
Raising funds for charities like Orchid is one of the things Lions do – want to join us? Drop us a message!

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it’s been deleted.
Between them, these five fine members of Wokingham Lions Club have notched up 211 years of Lions Clubs International membership!
So we thought a picture at our last club meeting at The Walter Arms was in order to celebrate Patrick Allen, Ian Hall, Mervyn Clark, Nick Halford & Nick Pianaar‘s achievement 👏
Interested in joining us? We’re always looking for new members to help us support the community – and enjoy each other’s company. 🦁
