Lion Luke has worked tirelessly for many years to raise money for the service through the Max Bromley Westpac Helicopter Fundraising board.

We are proud that our club could still donate money to this amazing service this year and are hopeful the fundraising board may be able to start up again soon, as life returns closer to normal. We hope our club’s contribution can help keep this wonderful service operating in our skies for the benefit of our community.

05.01.2022 Diabetes is a serious health issue which remains undiagnosed in many people. Earlier diagnosis can improve your quality of life and overall life expectancy. Please get tested! People with diabetes face challenges everyday managing their condition. If you know someone with diabetes, checking in with them occasionally and just ‘being there for them’ could help them to feel more supported and make a big difference.

03.01.2022 Thank you, Gurmesh Singh, for publicly acknowledging the contributions of our club and the other community service organisations in our local area.

02.01.2022 Lions Australia is pleased to have adopted Disaster Relief Australia as one of our key projects. Disaster Relief Australia (formerly known as Team Rubicon) brin...gs military veterans, emergency responders and motivated civilians together to volunteer their time to assist with emergency and disaster relief operations. This not only helps communities devastated by disasters, but it also helps Australian veterans find purpose through community service. Lions members are often the first to respond during times of crisis, as was seen in the 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires. This partnership will be of significant benefit to both organisations - allowing veterans to get involved in more community projects, and assisting Lions clubs with more trained emergency responders in times of disaster.
