Our Motley Crew 2016.

Welcome to the Darwin Nightcliff Lions Club in Australia

Lions is a non-political, non-religious, not-for-profit organization, aimed at raising money for charities and community members in need. 

Schools and organizations can apply to Lions for assistance in the form of donations or people-power, so Lions club members can find themselves riding on the back of a Hog for SIDS for Kids or serving at a Vinnie’s Food Van.

“It’s all about helping people”, says Ellie, a member for 4 yrs, “and being part of the community.” Lions is guided by the values of democracy and egalitarianism, with a mission “to create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs.”  There are clubs in Lichfield, Palmerston, Casuarina and Nightcliff, with members of all ages, involved in all sorts of activities, but sharing the same belief: “to build up and not destroy.”

The club welcomes new members to help us provide a unique alternative to service club membership.

We are a no-fuss club for busy, working people.

We have a few, interesting projects on the boil, and in keeping with the club ethic, they are humanitarian, fun and manageable.

We would love for you to join us if you have a little spare time, and an interest in helping your community.

We meet on the 2nd & 4th  Tuesday of every month at 7pm.

On the 2nd Tuesday each month we have a business meeting at Project 21 in Coconut Grove.

On the 4th Tuesday each month we have a social meeting at Trailer Boat Club in a glass fronted room to the left of the bar.

Please let us know if you are checking us out so we can confirm the meeting is on. Sometimes we have meetings elsewhere. Click Contact Us.

The public are welcome to attend as a guest of a Lion. Guests often attend to either speak about what they are doing in the community or to learn a little more about who Lions are and what they do.

We've been getting very exciting recently with a business meeting at Planet Tenpin without any business! And a wonderful visit to the very hospitable CareFlight where we had a presentation of their excellent work, our busines meeting followed by a tour of the faciltity. Those aircraft and the helicopter are incredibly well equipped to save our lives! What comes next? Joins us to find out!
