We are often asked by Clubs how can they can get involved & how they learn more about the foundation’s work so we have compiled our top ten suggestions.
Why not discuss this list at your next meeting and select one or two your club can do…
1. Become a member
Being a member of the Australian Lions Wellbeing Foundation helps fund our range of programs. If you are already a member, thank you!
2. Book an ALWF zoom presentation for one of your club meetings.
Our presenter Lynsey will happily spend 40 mins giving you an overview of all of our programs and answering your questions.
3. Tells family, friends and local schools about our key projects
Once you know a bit more about us, help spread the word about our key projects, simply letting someone know about our projects could help them through a tough time.
- Tune In Not Out tuneinnotout.com our youth health and wellbeing website
- Freedom to Feel Fantastic our positive body image and self esteem campaign – fantastic for schools and Leo groups
- Lions Quest – our social and emotion leanring school based program from Foundation to year 8
4. Discover more about tuneinnotout.com
Type the website address into your phone and explore the wide range of topics and information we bring young people – it is quite amazing the wealth of information there. Perhaps choose two topics and see what information as a group you can discover and share in 15mins
5. Download our wellbeing booklet to discover more about Freedom to Feel Fantastic program
Freedom to Feel Fantastic is our positive body image and wellbeing project. Download and print our wellbeing booklet, just one of the many FREE resources we offer schools to run an event. Have a look through it at your next meeting to get a feel for the great messages we aim to promote – perhaps your Leos would like to get involved, or there is a local school you would support to get involved?
6. Order our wellbeing stickers
We have a new set of wellbeing stickers which are perfect for community and stalls with wellbeing slogans. Contact us to find out more
7. Find out about our Awards
As a foundation, we have two awards which are presented to Lions and Community members for their work in the area wellbeing:
James McLardie Award

New in 2025 is the Leo Wellbeing Award, an initiative that recognises the dedication and passion of Leos who have made a meaningful impact in their communities and contributed to improving the wellbeing of others across the areas of Community Impact, Leadership and Initiative and Involvement in Wellbeing areas.
Lions Clubs are encouraged to nominate deserving Leos by submitting a nomination form and a donation.
