The South Coast Lions Club was chartered with 29 members: 15 from Goolwa, 10 from Port Elliot and 2 each from Victor Harbor and Mt Compass.
In late 1970 a group of members from the South Coast Club decided to form a Goolwa Lions Club which was Chartered in September 1979.

Being a Lion…Changing the World
We serve our community at the local level, but never forget that we are part of an incredible network of dedicated volunteers who are united in our mission of service. Together, we are changing peoples lives for the better, every day, all around the world. We meet the needs of our local communities and the world.
From helping to prevent blindness to supporting children and families affected by childhood cancer to protecting our environment, we are delivering care and kindness and bringing hope where it’s needed most.
There is no greater calling on earth than to join together to give of our time and our talents to those in need. That what Lion’s do!
The greatest gift we can give is our care and our kindness, and our kindness means even more to people and families in need during this holiday season.
The best part of our mission is that we are doing it together, as a global community of caring and dedicated Lions and Leos.
In times of disaster, Lions meet immediate needs such as food, water and shelter with funds from LCIF. For larger-scale disasters, the Foundation remains committed to helping communities rebuild into the future.
LCIF is a variety of international humanitarian efforts, such as supporting the construction of homes for the disabled, providing vision screenings to Special Olympic athletes, and combating measles.
