Helping Hands Project: Nurturing Our Community

The Lion Richlands Helping Hands Project is an initiative aimed at connecting with and supporting local community and sporting groups, charities, and projects. The project aims to positively impact the Western Suburbs of Brisbane through financial assistance or other means.

The Lion Richlands has been a prominent and influential community pillar in the Western Suburbs for almost 70 years. It is renowned for Football’s outstanding growth and sustainability, including but not limited to establishing training programs in various local schools.

The objectives of the Helping Hands Project include providing financial aid, assistance or other means to individuals or organisations devoted to community-based, charitable, or benevolent initiatives to ensure the sustainability of community-based organisations locally.

We encourage all local community groups and organisations to apply. The qualifying organisation of the Helping Hands Project will receive assistance and be nurtured through the process to achieve its desired objectives.
