Lions Clubs & Childhood Cancer

 Alongside Caps of Courage, Lions Clubs across the UK run a range of projects that support, inspire, and empower children and young people. These include:

• Lions ChildSight UK – providing free vision screening in schools to help detect undiagnosed sight problems early, giving children the best start in education.
   
• Peace Poster Competition – encouraging young people to express their creativity and vision for peace through art, with entries judged locally, nationally, and internationally.
   
• ROAR (Research, Observe, Action, Results) – a school-based programme that inspires primary school children to think big, develop ideas, and create solutions that can change the world.
   
• Young Leaders in Service – recognising and celebrating the hours of service that young people give to their communities each year, building confidence and leadership skills.
   
• Lions Young Ambassador Award – highlighting the achievements of extraordinary young people aged 15–18 who are making a real difference in their communities.
   
• International Youth Camps and Exchange – offering young people opportunities to connect with others from around the world, experience different cultures, and build friendships across borders.
   

Through these projects, Lions Clubs provide opportunities for children and young people to grow, learn, and thrive, while ensuring they are supported to achieve their full potential.
