Wise Words

"No man can live happily who regards himself alone; who turns everything to his own advantage. You must live for others if you wish to live for yourself."

- Seneca

The Club

LIONS are just ordinary folk who get together and do some extraordinary things. In fact some even say that Lions do amazing things. In Cockermouth we dedicate ourselves to helping our local community in every way that we can, as well as doing our small part to helping those in need throughout the world.

Ever felt you wish you could do more to help others, but just don’t know how – why not join the Lions. We welcome people of all ages. Some of our members like to work up front, while others, through work, family commitments, or just preference, prefer to work more in the background. Come and make new friends and get that warm glow and satisfaction of helping others while enjoying yourself.
