   Welcome to the pages of Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions

Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organisation. Its 1.4 million members are dedicated to bettering the quality of life for the handicapped, the poor, the sick and the aged. The motto of Lions Clubs International is “WE SERVE,” and Lions live this motto with enthusiasm.

Rottingdean and Saltdean Lions are a service organisation of volunteers who raise funds by organising and staffing local events such as Rottingdean Lions Fayre, Saltdean Gala, a sponsored swim and similar fundraising activities.

The Club helps local communities in a number of ways with every penny raised going direct to good causes.  Not one penny is spent on administration as the Lions Club running costs are funded by our members.  We focus on good deeds and help those who are less fortunate…

We look forward to your continued support to enable us to help good causes in our area.

We have sadly cancelled our Fayre on 15th June and Gala on 13th July this year. The financial risks associated with these events make them no longer financially viable, in the main, due to increasing costs, particularly the increase in insurance premium and exclusions from the policy leading to even greater expense hiring external contractors.  We will continue to investigate all options available to us and hope to perhaps be able to hold them again in 2025.
