Roar for Wellbeing at Burwood Park

Sydney Ceylon Lions Club – 201N5

On 11 October 2025, the Sydney Ceylon Lions Club marked Mental Health Month with a warm and engaging Roar for Wellbeing campaign at Burwood Park. The members created a welcoming space where passers-by were invited to pause, reflect, and talk about mental health and wellbeing in simple, everyday language.

Members and volunteers spoke with families, seniors, students, and parkgoers—sharing key messages such as “It’s okay to ask for help” and “Looking after your wellbeing matters.” Many stopped to discuss stress, resilience, and self-care, while others quietly took resources or added uplifting messages to our small Wall of Wellbeing display. Several passers-by also opened up and shared personal stories and lived experiences, reminding us how much people value being seen and heard.

The event also helped raise awareness of Lions’ broader community service, with several visitors expressing interest in future volunteering.

A small gesture, a warm smile, and a listening ear made a meaningful difference—reminding us all that connection is at the heart of wellbeing.

WE SERVE

Clean Up Australia Day & Lions Awareness Month – March 2025

On Sunday, 2nd March 2025, members of the Sydney Ceylon Lions Club marked Clean Up Australia Day with a community clean-up at Airey Park, Homebush West, NSW 2140.
Airey Park, one of Strathfield’s most significant and expansive green spaces, is a central hub for community recreation, sports, and family-friendly activities. Club members focused their efforts around the playground and outdoor fitness areas, collecting empty bottles, food wrappers, plastic bags, fallen branches, and general litter. Their hands-on work left the park cleaner, safer, and more inviting for children, families, and the wider public.
This initiative was also part of Lions Awareness Month, observed throughout March. While engaging in the clean-up, members took the opportunity to interact with local park visitors—raising awareness about the Lions movement, its commitment to service, and the eight Lions Global Causes: Vision, Hunger, Environment, Childhood Cancer, Diabetes, Disaster Relief, Humanitarian Needs, and Youth.
The event was a meaningful blend of action and advocacy—showcasing the Lions' dedication not only to improving the environment but also to inspiring community involvement and sharing the heart of Lionism.
