About Us

The Lions Club of Balgowlah Inc. is made up of everyday caring people just like you. We’re dedicated to our families and enjoy finding ways and the means to help those in need within our community and further afield, and we’ve been successfully doing this since 19 May 1962.

We support quite a diverse range of charities such as Bear Cottage, Dalwood Spilstead Centre, Pioneer Clubhouse, Nurses Scholarship Foundation, Sunnyfield Assoc., Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation, Australian Lions Children’s Mobility Foundation, Lions Recycle for Sight, Lions Stamp Club and Pamper Packs. These are just a few of the organisations and projects our club supports.

We welcome new members who will actively support us in our community projects. If you’d like to have fun and meet new friends whilst taking part in worthwhile community activities.

You are welcome to join us for our monthly social meeting, 3rd Wednesday of every second month, held at Club Totem 195 Condamine St, Balgowlah NSW 2093 6:45 for 7:00 pm. Guests are invited to join us.
