Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club (Inc)

Welcome to Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club

At the heart of community spirit in Paraparaumu, the Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club stands as a beacon of service and camaraderie. As a dedicated community service club, we bring together mostly retired men and women aged 55 and above who are passionate about helping others. Our mission is simple yet impactful: to raise funds and provide support to those in need within our local area. Through a variety of engaging initiatives, we ensure that every contribution makes a tangible difference. Whether it’s through hosting events or offering hands-on assistance, our members are united by a shared goal of improving lives in the Kapiti Coast region.

Our Location and Community in Wellington

Embedded in the scenic surroundings of Paraparaumu, Wellington, the Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club is proud to serve the wider Kapiti Coast district. This beautiful region, known for its stunning beaches and vibrant local culture, provides the perfect backdrop for our community-focused activities. Our central location allows us to connect with diverse groups and individuals, ensuring that our efforts reach those who need them most. Being part of the Wellington area, we are inspired by the strong sense of togetherness that defines this part of New Zealand, and we strive to reflect that in every project we undertake.

Our Annual Activities and Fundraisers

One of the highlights of being part of the Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club is our array of annual events designed to both raise funds and bring people together. We collaborate with other local Lions Clubs to host a popular book fair, a treasure trove for book lovers and a significant fundraiser for community projects. Additionally, we sell firewood and pine cones, providing practical resources while supporting our initiatives. Our Christmas cake sales are a festive favourite, spreading holiday cheer and funds alike. For a bit of competitive fun, we organise a bowls gala and the much-loved Duck Race on the Waikanae River, events that draw crowds and create lasting memories.

Social Connections and Community Impact

Beyond fundraising, the Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club is a hub for social activities that strengthen bonds among members and the wider community in Paraparaumu. These gatherings are essential for fostering friendships and ensuring our members feel connected and valued. Our dual focus on service and social engagement ensures that we not only address immediate community needs but also build a supportive network for everyone involved. From planning events to simply sharing a laugh, every moment spent with the club contributes to a stronger, more united Kapiti Coast.
