Armagh Lions Club

Mission statement.

To create and foster a spirit of understanding, among all people, for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation.

Our motto is "We Serve"

Federation of Ireland, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Hearing dogs for Deaf People, International Glaucoma Association, Medic Alert, Sight Savers International and Tacade. Locally the Armagh Club has worked with Children in Need, Riding for the Disabled, The Station Road Resource Centre, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Lisanally Special School, St Vincent de Paul and The British Legion.

In the United Kingdom, Ireland and the rest of Europe Lions devote 5.7 million hours and £88million to humanitarian causes annually. Importantly as a volunteer organisation we can make the guarantee that every pound, euro or whatever currency raised goes directly to charity. All administration costs are met by the members. It is not a huge cost, currently members of the Armagh Club pay an annual membership of £50 towards Local, National and International administration.

The Organisation is administered in Districts and Lions Clubs in Ireland are part of Multiple District 105 which also includes the United Kingdom. There are thirteen
Districts in Multiple District 105 and Irish Clubs are designated as M.D.105I. Districts are further subdivided into Regions and Zones. There are eight regions in Ireland and each region has three zones. Armagh Lions Club is in Region 2 Zone B and has as its other clubs in the Zone Cavan, Dundalk, Monaghan (our sponsoring Club) and Newry.

Armagh Lions Club meet on the second and fourth Mondays in the month at 20.00hrs from June to September in The Armagh City Hotel. New members and potential members are welcome to come along and see what we do.
