Southborough and District Lions Club

Southborough and District Lions Club working in the local community (to include Tunbridge Wells, Speldhurst, Langton Green, Bidborough and Pembury) by helping those less fortunate by fund raising and direct local community involvement.

Beneficiaries include, Hospice in the Weald, Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance, The Nourish Food Bank, Compaid, the Pickering Cancer Drop In Centre, St Matt’s and Christchurch Community Larders, to mention but a few

We would normally hold a post Christmas Tea Party but this year, due to Covid restrictions in January, we are holding a Pre-Easter Tea Party on 2 April 2022 at St Dunstan's Hall, for our local Pensioners.  In the Autumn, we normally organise a visit to the seaside for our Pensioners.

During the month of April, we organise a Pubs' Darts Competition and this year the beneficiaries will be Air Ambulance Kent, Surrey & Sussex, Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association, and local charities.

Our biggest fundraiser is our annual Gala Day is held at Meadows School and this year will be on Sunday 26 June 2022. 

Over the August Bank Holiday weekend (27,28,29 August 2022) we hold our annual Art & Craft Show on the Common outside Meadows School.

At Christmas we organise street collections with our Santa’s Sleigh and distribute  hampers to local people in need.
