Lions Club of Jersey was developed out of a desire to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Since its inception, we have worked hard to provide support where it's most needed.
We are are a registered charity with the Jersey Charity Commissioner and our Registered Charity No. is 352.

· Covered the cost of family relocation, removals, emergency and overseas travel, particularly following the "Haut du Mont" disaster in December 2022, when a donation of £5,000 was given to the Bailiff's appeal (matched by a further £5,000 from our Lions District).
· Supported various island food banks .
· Recycled 1,000’s of Spectacles for despatch to third world countries.
