OUR VENUES: HERE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.

The Lion Foundation operates 208 venues across the country. Between them, they returned over $37 million back to the community last year.

The people at the heart of these venues are the venue owners and operators - local people who are proud of the contribution they make to their community. They operate best in class gaming environments that are safe, enjoyable and return maximum funds to both players and the immediate local community.

Apart from national causes that benefit the wider community, 90% of our funds are returned directly back to the community from which they were generated in areas as diverse as health, education, sports, and community, which includes arts, culture, heritage and environment. In other words, proceeds from your local venue benefit your local community.

"We're proud to be associated with a trust that returns money to the community it came from. As a lower socio-economic area, it's especially good to see local funds raised benefiting children in high need areas such as education and health. It's about so much more than sport - the money goes back to the community in areas where it really counts." Allen Vaughan, MD Jakel Bar Management Ltd, re Slipp Inn, Birkenhead, Auckland
