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
The Wokingham Classic Motor Show
Last year we raised over £70,000, while the events we organised helped charities raise at least another £55,000 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.

We've a few tickets left for this Saturday's Wokingham Music Club Deeper Purple gig at All Saints Church Wokingham England – don't miss out to see this superb tribute band – described as “ridiculously good” and “a darn tight band”, offering “the best reproduction of the Purple live sound you’re ever likely to hear.”
If you’re a Deep Purple fan, or just love classic hard rock with soaring guitars, unwavering vocals, thundering organs and tight rhythm – Deeper Purple is a stellar way to experience that legacy live. Even newcomers have been spellbound; as another reviewer put it, “If you’ve never heard of Deep Purple… you should still see Deeper Purple – that’s how good they are.”
