New Ross Lions Club 2.7

New Ross Lions Club was founded in 1986 and over the years we have served our community, many local organisations, causes, projects & individuals through fund raising & the giving of our members' time & expertise.
We are a group of Men and Women from our local community who meet 1st Wednesday each month, at the Brandon House Hotel, New Ross at 8pm.


New Ross Lions Club is part of a world wide organisation and while our club contributes financially to the International funds & projects such as Sight First, disaster relief for earthquakes etc, for the most part our work has a very local focus.

One of the headline successes of the New Ross Lions Club is the Dunbrody Famine Ship which is a product of the JFK Trust which in turn was born of a project started by New Ross Lions Club in the early 80’s to investigate the potential to develop tourism in the area. The initial board of JFK Trust were all New Ross Lions Club members.

Another success is the Meitheal anti bullying programme now available in all 2nd level schools in Wexford . Fr. Odhran Furlong set it up in one school and our club committed to fund the costs for 5 years which enabled him to expand the project to its present success.
