Lions make vital donation for young Lawson

A young Tasmanian family has had their lives transformed thanks to the Lions Club of Penguin.

Six-year-old Lawson was born with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy and is wheelchair-bound, making everyday errands a challenge for both him and his parents.

With the support of the Penguin Lions Club and the local community, the family raised around $70,000 to purchase a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, officially handed over to them on 24 July 2025.

Penguin Lions President Dee Dawkins said the club takes great pride in supporting the community through initiatives like this.

Congratulations to everyone involved – and our best wishes to Lawson and his family as they enjoy this life-changing gift.
