Welcome to Burnham on sea and District Lions website.

We are based at the Oak Tree Arena, Highbridge, which is home to Somerset Rebels Speedway. Lions meet here on the first Wednesday of every month to discuss ways of helping in our local Community as well as International Humanitarian good causes.

The Lions Club of Burnham on sea, is a registered Charity and primarily serves the local communities of Burnham on sea, Berrow, Brean, Highbridge, Brent Knoll and surrounding villages. Within these areas, the Lions raise money throughout the year with a wide range of fundraising events

Lions President Scott Walsh

Lions President Scott Walsh Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.
We are part of Lions Clubs International which is the world's largest service club organization.

We have 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in more than 206 countries and geographic areas.
Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our International Sight First Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.

Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies - and aiding in long-term reconstruction.

Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.

The information on this website is designed to show the outside World who we are, what we do and our wider role in the local and international community, as well as allow fellow club members and other Lions to be kept updated with the latest projects and events being undertaken by the Club.
Our Club is part of the world's largest network of voluntary service organisations, Lions Clubs International, which has as its prime objective to create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world.

Lions Clubs take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of their communities and promote the principles of good government and good citizenship.

The money raised by the Lions is used principally to help people in the local community, but also, in line with the Lions' worldwide perspective, to help those in need in other countries, particularly the Third World.

We welcome interest from anybody who wants to know more about lionism, simply wants more information, would like to join us or indeed offer their help.
