Roscrea Lions Club was founded in 1968 as a voluntary organisation with over 30 members or “Lions” who dedicate themselves to helping people in need, addressing major health issues, social/environmental challenges and humanitarian causes. We work not just in our local community but also support global issues/disasters as we are affiliated to Lions Club International.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of the people and businesses of Roscrea and its community over these years. Thank you.
