SUTTON COLDFIELD LIONS CLUB

 

SERVING THE ROYAL TOWN SINCE 1962

 

 

As part of Lions Club International, the Sutton Coldfield Club has been serving its local community since its formation in 1962. Whilst it has always given priority to the local community, it has also discharged its responsibilities to needs in the wider national and worldwide community.

 

CONTACTS

 

 

MEETINGS

 

Regular Meetings are held at 8pm on the second and fourth Wednesday each month (telephone the secretary for information regarding venues).

FUNDRAISING AND FINANCE

 

A full programme of Fundraising events is undertaken in order to finance Community Projects. However, the administration of the club is paid for by its members who give their time voluntarily. There are no full time, paid organisers.

 

SOCIAL

Social functions are an important part of any Lions Club and functions are arranged throughout the year. These range from BBQ’s to Dinner Dances, from Skittles to Treasure Hunts and from Picnics to Quizzes.
