Where there's a need 
there's a LION

Swale Lions Club is a Voluntary Charity organisation that is part of Lions International. We raise funds for good causes in the swale area. Please visit the Scrapbook page for details of our previous events, What we raised and what we have given out. The club was Chartered (founded) in 1971 and has been going strong ever since we celebrated our 49/50th and 51st Charter dinner in April 2021

Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 200 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Known for working to end preventable blindness, Lions participate in a vast variety of projects important to their communities. These projects range from cleaning up local parks to providing supplies to victims of natural disasters. Beginning in 1917, the association of Lions clubs has provided millions of people with the opportunity to give something back to their communities. View LQ (Lions Quarterly Video Magazine) on the Lions News Network to see how Lions continue to make a difference everyday and everywhere.

Swale is a local government district in Kent. Its council is based in Sittingbourne. The borough is named after the narrow channel called The Swale, a channel that separates the mainland of Kent from the Isle of Sheppey, and which occupies the central part of the district. The Roman Watling Street passed through the area, as witness the straightness of the A2 main road, now by-passed by the M2 motorway. Apart from northern coast of the Isle of Sheppey, and the immediate areas around the towns, it is a mainly rural borough. The district was formed in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, from the boroughs of Faversham and Queenborough-in-Sheppey (which covered all of Sheppey), the Sittingbourne and Milton urban district and and the Swale Rural District. There are four towns in the borough: Sittingbourne and Faversham on the mainland; Sheerness, Queenborough on the Isle.
