The International Dimension

Our twinned clubs are, in France, Vallee D'or; and in Sri Lanka, Beruwala.

Our friends from France visit us for a weekend in the spring , for 2012 this will be our recognition of the Olympics with a search for true Olympians amongst the Lions community, energy effort and fun will prevail.

Havant Lions will travel Vallee D'or France in the Autumn where the true taste of La Belle France will be the theme.

Fundraising

Our annual monster bottle stall at Emsworth Show is always a big hit with everyone and raises considerable funds for local charities. If you would like to help with this please email us.

We support many local events including Havant's party in the Park, Denmead's annual charity Cycle ride, Leigh Park Carnival, and many others. Look out for us. If you want to help others or need help we are always happy to talk to you.

We are regularly seen at shows and events around Havant with our furry dog raffle. This gives all an opportunity to win the perfect pet.

It is appropriate to mention local companies that support us in our fundraising and the work that we do Predominant amongst them are Portsmouth Water Company.

Community Support

Our local activities continue to be varied and focussed on people in the Havant area. Be it practical assistance or an opportunity for something special we aim to assist those who find life offers them particular challenges.

Portsmouth FC has enjoyed some varied fortunes and uncertain times recently. Nevertheless, they have loyal fans. We have been able to ensure that some challenged young people who would normally have no opportunity to see a game, got to Fratton Park. Win or lose is no matter, it's always a very special and exciting Saturday for those youngsters.
