Lions Cancer Trust

The Lions Cancer Trust is a New Zealand organisation established in January 2022 by the Lions Clubs of New Zealand. Founded on the belief that early detection saves lives, it works to make professional skin cancer screening more accessible to communities nationwide, particularly people in rural and underserved areas. The Trust brings together trustees from seven districts of Multiple District 202, combining the community involvement of Lions Clubs with healthcare expertise.

Its core service is a mobile skin screening bus that travels to events across New Zealand. Screenings are delivered locally by Lions volunteers and volunteer healthcare professionals, bringing the service directly to communities. The Trust shares information about upcoming screening events and invites people to get involved or support its work through donations. Its activities reflect a focus on early detection, community care and professional service. As a project of Lions Clubs New Zealand Multiple District 202, the organisation aims to extend access to screening through a practical, community-based model.
