Blaby and District Lions Club

Blaby and District Lions Club was formed in 1987 with the object of serving the community whilst deriving enjoyment from its activities and the fellowship of its members. It has become one of the premier service organisations in the area.

Who are we?

The club members live or work in the Blaby District and together with an extended circle of friends and family, organise fundraising and community projects as well as meeting regularly for social events.

We hold our business meetings at Enderby Social Club on the second Wednesday of the month (8pm). At these meetings we plan charity and community activities and consider requests and proposals for the distribution of the funds we have raised to worthy causes. We discuss and plan ways in which we can participate in local, national and international projects as a club or as part of the wider Lions International organisation.

Social events are held monthly at local venues and usually take place on the fourth Wednesday of every month. Subject to limitations on numbers these events are normally open to members’ family and friends. As part of the club's recruitment drive we are inviting members of the local community to join us at our (free) 'film night' evening in Autumn/Winter 2019 to meet the club members are find out what is involved in being a 'Lion'. Have a look at the films we will be showing and let us know if you're interested in coming along (you need to be over 18 years of age).
