Featherstone Lion President Heidi White (centre) was in her old home town of Wisbech recently. She visited a stall run by members of the local branch of Lions Club International and they soon got chatting. As this picture shows, they presented their Friendship Banner to a delighted Heidi to bring home to Featherstone.

Good afternoon everyone. We’re sorry to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control we have had to cancel the upcoming baking competition. We will be contacting all current entrants as soon as possible about this. We will be working hard to bring this competition back as soon as possible.
Our friendly Lion just had to try all the games at the Disability Sports & Fun Day on 4th August. He had a great time and met some wonderful people. This is a yearly event and we will be adding more info for next years one as soon as it is available.

We were happy to help out the Featherstone Flyers Football Club yesterday by giving them a cheque to help towards them getting a pitch line marker machine. This is just one of the many ways in which we help the local community.
That’s the end of another fantastic Liquorice Festival, we’ve had a great day in town and enjoyed meeting you all. Our friendly Lion met some of you before the heat made him go find somewhere shady and cool. Let us know if you managed to catch a picture of him!
That’s right, we’re on the lookout for people that want to help make a difference in the community. We always welcome new people into our group, the more members we have, the more we can do in the community. So if you want to get involved with a lively group of people then please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Hello and welcome to the Featherstone Lions International latest update.
We have an exciting competition coming up, and it’s aimed for children from the age of 5 up to teenagers at the age of 16. Please have a look at our poster below and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief – to serve their community.
Lions Clubs International 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 SightFirst 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.

Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
