Happy holidays from Helensburgh Lions

As our club looks forward to the festive season, we reflect on our past 12 months of events that have brought much enjoyment and fun for the community. We started the year with our Anzac Day service at Stanwell Tops, a respectful tribute to all the men and women who made huge sacrifices for their country, Australia.
We also provided heartfelt support and donations to a local community member who has MND (motor neurone disease). We have sponsored an Australian Lions Hearing Assistance Dog named Toby.
We had our very popular Brick Fair which was thoroughly enjoyed by all ages! We did our Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gift bags for our residents at Kennett Home.
In 2025, we have also donated funds to Wollongong Hospital, Salvation Army, local community members for medical expenses and equipment and key Lions Foundations for natural disasters relief and childhood cancer.
And, finally, our wonderful Helensburgh Country Fair, a celebration for the whole community. To all our sponsors, the businesses who kindly donated to our raffle and Wollongong City Council a big thank you!
From all of the Helensburgh Lions we wish everyone in the community a wonderful and safe Merry Christmas for 2025.
