Brown Bursary Project
Spectacles For Re-cycling
Lions Club Internationally are committed to supporting eye care throughout the world. Good eyesight enables people to work and enjoy an independent life. The Jersey Lions Club collects old spectacles, which are sent off for re-cycling and eventual re-distribution through our optometrist clinics in the third world.
Please drop off any unwanted, but serviceable spectacles (not sunglasses) to the Amnimal Kingdom shops at Halkett Place or Mont Mado, St John or to La Collette Recycling Centre. We will then send them away and hopefully help someone in need.

Our History and background
LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL was founded in 1917 in the United States by businessman Melvin Jones who felt that successful people like himself and his colleagues should devote some of the energies which had enabled them to succeed in business to serving their local communities. Appropriately he chose “We Serve” as the Lions’ motto.
Lions Clubs now exist in more than 170 countries and more than 2.5 million men and women wear the distinctive lapel pin.
The Lions Club of Jersey was formed in November 1963, at the instigation of the Lions Clubs of Southampton and St. Malo. Today, there are still eight members of the Jersey Lions Club who were among the founders.
