Meet the Lions Club of Brussels Heraldic

The Lions Club Heraldic is the English-speaking Lions Club in Brussels, with 22 members from a variety of nationalities and backgrounds. All with a single vocation to serve people less fortunate than ourselves. In 25 years we raised over a million, yes one million euros.

Since we chartered 20 years ago Heraldic has had a colourful and successful history in Belgium.

We adhere to a rigorous Constitution. It is our guideline for strong governance in our Club.

Every year the Lions Club of Brussels Heraldic raises on average more than € 25,000. Our major fund raising activitivity takes place in Springtime every year.  Our Swimarathon, called Splash - up to 80 teams compete in a fun swimming event and raise funds through sponsorship.

Activities

The motto of every Lions Club is. We Serve. Whether helping the blind or deaf, conducting drug or diabetes awareness campaigns, providing recreational opportunities for the handicapped, sponsoring research into the causes and treatment of blindness, providing children with sports equipment or just a place to play, or raising funds to make it all possible, service to the needy and the disadvantages comes first for a Lion.

Fellowship

At the very heart of Lionism lies a camaraderie, among both the local club members and between Lions from every part of the world. It exists not only at club meetings but particularly when Lions are working together to help those in need in their communities. The friendships made in Lionism lasts a lifetime because they are based on a common and enjoyable commitment to service.
