ROAR FOR WELLBEING
ROAR FOR WELLBEING IS BACK — OCTOBER 2026
Building on our incredible 2025 campaign, join Lions Clubs across Australia in making October 2026 a month of connection, compassion and community action.
After an extraordinary inaugural year, Roar for Wellbeing is back – bigger, bolder and more ambitious than ever.
In 2025, over 50 Lions Clubs across Australia came together to Roar for Wellbeing – hosting morning teas, community walks, health expos, memorial walks, school events and so much more. Social media reach grew by 129%, Facebook interactions jumped 287%, and 100% of surveyed clubs said they would recommend the campaign to others.
Read our 2025 wrap up here and watch our short video capturing just some of the photos.
