Billingshurst Lions Club: Join the Lions
Ever Thought of Supporting the Lions?
Billingshurst & District Lions are looking to encourage people of all ages, men and women, to bring their skills, knowledge and ideas to an active Club – still young at heart after 46 years – in providing help and assistance wherever necessary in the local community.

Billingshurst Lions pride themselves in being a friendly welcoming club, best known locally for its Charity Bookshop in Jengers Mead, raising substantial amounts in the past 18 years, together with a Charity Golf Day, Christmas Carolling with Santa’s Flying Bedstead touring Billingshurst and surrounding villages, plus events at schools and village fetes. What could I expect if I get involved? The Club’s primary objective is Fund Raising, for Community Service to offer financial support to any local person or organisation with a specific need, and for Projects to provide financial and practical help to Primary Schools, Pre-Schools, Residential Homes and community schemes. How could I be involved? There is ample scope to choose and to further the activity you would enjoy in bringing your skills, experience and new ideas to the Club, but most importantly, doing what you would like to do. What could I get out of it? This could be many things:• Satisfaction from using your skills and experience to benefit the community. • The opportunity to bring new ideas and gain new experiences. • Pleasure in seeing the result of your efforts, particularly on people’s faces. • The chance, if you are new to the area, or recently retired, to meet new friends. What about the social aspect? It’s not all work and no play; the Club normally has a full and varied social calendar. President Richard Melchio says, “Since joining the Lions, I have met, without exception, a bunch of very likeable, well meaning, and fun people, who are only too eager to go out of their way to help, particularly the young and vulnerable. I find it’s always more enjoyable to give than receive!”
