Welcome to the Bracknell Forest Lions Club website.
Serving the community
If you are new to Lionism, through these pages you will be able to find out about the work of the international organisation of Lions and our Lions Club in particular.
If you are a Lion, and perhaps planning to visit our area, we hope that the information on our website will encourage you to visit our club.
Who are we?
We're a group from the local community who have come together to help others, as part of a wider, international organisation. Bracknell Forest Lions is currently a small club with a membership of just 7 people, but despite this we're working hard to raise funds to help local projects. Take a look at the "meet the club" and "message from our president" links on the left to find out more about us. Below is some information about what we've been up to recently!
