Our Mission

Serving with Purpose

"Where There's A Need There's A Lion." — We Serve.

Lions Club of Singapore Clarke Quay is a proud member of Lions Clubs International, the world's largest volunteer service organisation with 1.4 million members in 46,000 clubs worldwide.

We are civic-minded citizens who believe that volunteer service is the foundation of a healthy community. Our club was founded on March 7, 1995 and has grown from 23 inaugural members into a vibrant, diverse community of Lions committed to meaningful action.

Our signature project is the Vegetable Charity Drive, run jointly with other Lions clubs: surplus produce from the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Market is collected and distributed to more than 2,160 elderly residents across nursing homes, together with underprivileged families and other beneficiaries in need.

Membership is by invitation. We welcome civic-minded individuals who share our passion for service and community.

Singapore's Lions movement began on November 5, 1958. We are part of a proud tradition of service spanning over six decades.
