Supporting the local community since 1965
The team at South Perth Lions, along with 1.3 million Lions members worldwide, are ordinary people doing extraordinary things – fundraising to support charities, Lions International foundations, community projects, disaster relief, and many more. South Perth Lions also support a unique jazz music program for youth aged 8-21 years and a fantastic Big Band, which performs monthly dances and a range of other community and corporate events.

We are part of Lions International, the largest service organisation in the world. Our club is within Lions District 201W2, located in close proximity to the city centre of Perth. South Perth Lions Club was formed in 1965 and is one of the oldest Lions Clubs in Western Australia.

The club meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday at Manning Senior Citizens Centre, at 3 Downey Drive, Manning, 6.30 pm for 7.00pm start. BYO drinks. We often also have a social gathering on the 4th Tuesday at various times and venues.

Other Projects

Story Dogs Reading Support Program:  Our club sponsors a Story Dog, Pepper, to be trained and go to schools with an accredited volunteer dog handler to help children learn to read. This literacy program is based on the Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ) model and has proven educational benefits.

Lions Youth of the Year:  Our club participates in this project, along with Lions clubs throughout Australia. It is designed to encourage student interest in leadership and the qualities required to take an active and constructive role in the community. A high level of academic, leadership, sporting, public speaking and citizenship achievement is sought in potential winners of the Lions Youth of the Year competition.
