The International Association of Lions Clubs incorporates 1.4 millions members
in nearly 42,000 clubs worldwide. There are over 900 Lions in
Multiple District 105 (Great Britain and Ireland) of which
Porthcawl Lions are proud to be part of.
Our objectives include fostering a spirit of understanding among people of the world.
With the Lions Ethics in mind each Lions Club
encourages service-minded people to serve their community
without personal financial reward and to take an active interest
in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community.

are now best known for their sight-related programs including SightFirst the
world's
largest blindness prevention program. While Lions speak many
languages and
profess many religious and political beliefs they all subscribe to common
objectives and ethical principles.
