Formed in1953, the Great Yarmouth Club was the first in the Eastern Region of the British Isles and is a member of the worldwide organisation of Lions Clubs International, who have recently celebrated their centenary.
The Club was formally registered as a Charity with the Charity Commissioners in 1993.
CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER 1024970.
Club meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at the Imperial Hotel, North Drive, Great Yarmouth, commencing at 8.00pm.
We have earned a reputation for providing many varied activities, it would be impossible to list all the activities and causes we have helped. Suffice to say that where a need is identified, we have never been found wanting and do our utmost to respond.
In the past our support for the old, young and lonely, together with our continuous commitment of providing holidays for people with a visual impairment, demonstrates that our activities are by no means restricted to that of fund raising. Members are encouraged to participate in both fund raising and service activities.
Since Lions Clubs were established, Lions have been dedicated to giving back to their communities, we remain committed to improving the lives of those less fortunate, around the world and right at home.
