What Do Lionesses Do?

Lioness Clubs work in their communities voluntarily, with support from friends and family.  They give help by donating time, and financial resources where the need arises.  The cost of administering the Clubs at all levels is covered by the members themselves.  Every penny raised for charitable purposes is used to assist others and Lionesses keep accounts which are available to anyone wishing to examine them.

How do we raise funds?

Lioness Clubs raise funds in many different ways including:

  • Street Collections Face Painting

  • Cowpat Competitions Fetes and Galas

  • Quiz Nights Santa’s Grottos

  • Car Boot Sales Sponsored Events

  • Dinners, Dances and Disco’s

Meet new friends . . . . and have fun?

Being a Lioness not only helps the Community but gives you an opportunity to meet new friends, someone different to talk to, or go places with, and have some quality time for yourself!

If you contact a Lioness, we can guarantee you a welcoming, friendly face who will make you feel part of the Community.  Whether it be a fund-raising event, a welfare project or a social night out, our motto is Fellowship, Understanding, Need.
