Mission Statement

To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

Vision Statement

​To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.

Who we are and what we do?

Wherever you live, work or travel across the British Isles, you are likely to come across members of Lions Clubs International and the many thousands of projects we support.
​
Lions are ordinary people who do extraordinary things to help others and support good causes throughout the British Isles and globally through our International Organisation. Worldwide, we have more volunteers in more places than any other service club organisation, and we love to help those in need. We make things happen, whether it be small local project helping a school​, or a large international project eradicating preventable blindness.
​Our District, 105CE, covers the whole Eastern side of England from the River Thames up to the River Humber. As it is a large area, for administrative purposes, it is split into six regions and seventeen zones covering a total of 93 Lions Clubs and 2 Leo Clubs.

Every Lions Club supports a range of good causes and projects in their area where you can also get involved. Every day, Lions are organising remarkable and memorable fundraising activities and having fun along the way.

We are always looking for new members, if you are interested in helping support our activities and becoming a Lion, please click here. Why not find a Club near to you by clicking on this link and visit them to see just what they do!

Because we are local, we serve the unique needs of the communities in which we live. As we are global, we can address community challenges wherever they occur.

District 105 CE is part of the family of Lions internationally and nationally.  Below are links to websites which provide more information at both an international and National level.

Lions Clubs International Code of Ethics

  • TO SHOW my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
  • TO SEEK success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
  • TO REMEMBER that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
  • WHENEVER a doubt arises as to the rights or ethics of my position or actions towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
  • TO HOLD friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
  • ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state and my community and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To give them freely of my time, labour and means.
  • TO AID others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak and my substance to the needy.
  • TO BE CAREFUL with my criticism and liberal with my praise. To build up and not destroy.
