Barry Lions Club received its Charter in March 1981 and therefore celebrated its 30th Anniversary in March 2011. The Club currently has 15 members, several of whom are Charter Members.

We are a group of ordinary men and women who are interested in working together to help others.

Barry Lions Club has organised very many successful fundraising events during its life and continues to develop new and innovative ways to raise funds for Charitable Organisations and for those less fortunate than ourselves.

Barry Lions Club has donated monies to International causes including the Tsunami Fund, Lions Clubs International Foundation, Eye Camps as well as donating money to causes nearer to home. Locally, the Club has donated money to YMCA Hub, Ty Hafen Children's Hospice, Marie Curie Hospice etc. We have also sponsored participants in The Bob Cook Memorial Games.

We will continue to strive to raise more funds through our usual methods such as The Christmas Lunch, Sportsman's Lunch, Race Nights, Quiz Nights etc.

We have been very fortunate to have had the help of Maria Lyn who has taken the time out from her very busy schedule to sing at several Cabaret Evenings and her unique entertainment style and wonderful voice has helped us raise a great deal of money.

Club news and information on forthcoming events will be posted on this website so please take a regular look at the Calendar tab on the left hand side of the page.

Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
