Spring 2025

Wetherby Lions continue to support to local people and community groups that need our help.  We have recently supported young people seeking to broaden their horizons and held our annual 'Midwinter Party' event which gave lunch, entertainment and company to over 180 elderly people.

We continue to recruit new and active members with our commitment to diversity being reflected in our leadership team.  From July we will have a Lady President in charge !! 

​Lions recently committed over £6,100 to support a playground refurbishment, £2,400 to a new BMX facility and £3,400 to buy musical instruments for young people.  Our work is heavily focussed locally, however we are part of the world’s largest service club which is usually the first to deliver aid when disaster strikes; often through Lions Clubs within the affected area.

​I am really pleased to be working with Wetherby Riverside Bandstand Trust to deliver ‘Wetherby Drovers Brass Band Marching Contest 2025’.  This will see 20 bands marching through the town providing great entertainment, Artisan Markets and a Folk Evening with three top line bands all on Sunday 29th June 2025.

​Wetherby Lions are open to those who want to help us as we serve our community and have a good time socially whilst doing so. 

Lion President Martin Doxey
