Participating Clubs
Stronger Clubs. Brighter Futures.
Participating Clubs are the foundation of the Lions Eye Health Programme.
Through their support, volunteers are trained, equipment is maintained and free vision screening services are delivered to children and young people throughout New Zealand.
Together, Participating Clubs are helping ensure that no child is held back by an undetected vision problem.
More than a donation – you're a partner in hope.

Working Together
Not every club needs to provide screening services themselves.
Many clubs choose to support the programme financially, while others have members who become screeners or facilitators.
Clubs within Zones and Districts are encouraged to work together, sharing volunteers and resources to maximise their impact.
Whether your club contributes through funding, volunteers or encouragement, every level of involvement helps strengthen the programme.
Annual Contribution
The suggested annual contribution for Participating Clubs is:
Clubs with fewer than 20 members
$100 per year
Clubs with 20 or more members
$5 per member per year
Many clubs choose to contribute above the suggested amount, helping us expand the programme and reach more communities throughout New Zealand.
