About the Lions
Our mission is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs.
Ordinary people achieving extraordinary things together: that's the essence of Lionism.
Lions clubs are part of community life in towns, cities and rural districts throughout Australia and the world. Lions clubs are easily identified by the distinctive Lions International logo and the We Serve motto.
Each Club is a little different, with its own mix of activities and meetings:
- supporting community events
- fundraising for worthwhile causes
- supporting people with a disability
- filling unmet needs, especially in health and medicine
- community greening
- wholesome fun
- lasting friendships
- interesting and stimulating guest speakers
- individuals finding creative new uses for their professional skills and community contacts
- developing leadership and professional skills in a safe and supportive environment
- exciting opportunities to contribute to Lions at regional and national levels.
We encourage you to read the official Lions Purposes.

The Mount Barker Lions are a group of 25 to 30 volunteers who share 5 main goals:
- To serve the local community of the Mount Barker district.
- To support the wider community as affiliates of Lions Australia and Lions International. From time to time, members of the Mount Barker Lions have contributed directly to management of national Lions initiatives.
EXAMPLE: The Lions Hearing Dogs training facility at Verdun (10km NW of Mount Barker) is a national Lions project. - To promote best-practice professional standards, consistent with the Lions Code of Ethics.
- To build friendship between people of all ages and backgrounds.
- To keep active, make new friends, and have fun!
When not running projects and fundraisers, we often get together for social and recreational events such as:
- dinner meeting with guest speaker each month for Lions and guests
- garden parties on an occasional basis for Lions and guests
- group bookings to non-Lions local events, such as charity quiz nights and plays.
