Our sunscreen dispenser will be out and about at club events- SANFL footy, BBQ, Bunnings and other events in the Playford area.

Sunscreen use is one of five important ways of reducing the risk of skin cancer. Cancer Council recommends using sunscreen every day on days when the UV Index is forecast to be 3 or above.

Our Lions Club is very passionate about the environment and recycle. We have set up a recycling corner at our Den. Here, we are collecting used batteries, glasses/sunglasses, and empty pill foil packets.

If you have any of these items that you wish to donate to us for recycling, please contact us.

The Australian Lions Children’s Mobility Foundation (alcmf) empower children who cannot walk unassisted to reach their potential. They do this by facilitating the funding of walking and other mobility aids that get kids out of their wheelchairs and onto their feet so that they can walk, explore, play, work and socialise. This makes them stronger and healthier – physically, emotionally, and mentally. Walking Is their gift to the child, a gift that benefits the child, their family, and friends.

Contact us today if you would like to donate your old glasses.

Our Club puts together care packs which include essential items, and items for comfort. These packs are then donated to local hospitals, Fred’s Van & shelters that support individuals and families who have experienced domestic violence.

Fred’s Van provides comfort and a warm, nutritious meal for those experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness and marginalisation. Operating from eight sites across Adelaide and two regional sites in Port Lincoln and Port Pirie, this emergency service is delivered by the work and commitment of more than 650 volunteers.

Our club supports this program every month, providing a 3 course cooked lunch at the Elizabeth Vinnies venue.

Lions Quest is a comprehensive and universal, evidence-based social and emotional learning program. SEL is a process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Our club sponsors individual teachers to attend the program. We have also sponsored all teachers at Playford College to participate.

The Australian Lions Hearing Dogs program was founded in 1980 with the first hearing dog, Amber, being placed in 1982. Since then, over 650 Hearing Assistance Dogs have been placed Australia-wide, a local Lions Club involved with each and every one, and all going to their deaf and hard of hearing recipients free-of-charge.

Our club supports ALHD through puppy sponsorship, financial donations, placement of dogs, and fostering puppies.
