Farnborough Lions Club is a member of Lions Clubs International, the largest service organisation in the world. We hold several fund raising events each year with a small percentage of what we raise going to the LCIF Disaster Relief Fund, but by far the majority is spent in the Farnborough area to help the lesser privileged members of our society, other local good causes or small local charities.
