TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The charity supports projects and charities which fall within its charitable objects. It has a particular focus on helping those in poverty, helping those who are visually impaired, promoting good eye health, children, disaster relief and providing facilities in the interests of physical and social welfare to benefit communities at a local, national and international level. The trustees have discretion as to who benefits from the charity's support and review their grant-making policies and appeals every year. Some grants are committed for a number of years in advance (funds permitting). Others are made as required (e.g. disaster relief).
The Trust continues to operate to the public benefit both in the United Kingdom and Internationally either through direct grants or in partnership with other Charities. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 in having due regard for the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
Our partnership with Air Ambulance Kent Sussex Surrey continues and we were able to replace seven highly portable VScan Air hand-held ultrasound units.
The VScan Air ultrasounds are heavily used by the Air ambulance medical teams, enabling a non-invasive scan of a patient’s body, helping them to make a quick and accurate diagnosis. For example, it can be seen if a patient has blood in their abdomen or if their lungs have collapsed, which can determine which immediate interventions are required as well as the overall clinical management and onward care.
Our project to develop a head scanner with AAKSS which, when in service, will be able to identify serious head injuries at the accident site. The scanner is undergoing medical evaluation.
Our support for the ROAR programme continues with 38 schools being supported this year The primary purpose of the ROAR programme is to provide children with an inspirational and educational programme of work which is both competitive and fun to do. It also provides Personal, Social and Health (PSHE) education as required nationally. ROAR is now a national online programme which Is funded entirely by Lions Clubs supporting their local schools.
Our development of an on-line donation’s platform, for the Lions clubs of Lions District 105SE, continues together with support for the Lions International Blood Research Appeal, Sight-savers, UNICEF.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Financial review
a. Going concern
The trustees have reviewed the charity's forecasts and projects. With a reasonable expectation that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, the charity continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b. Reserves policy
The reserves of the Charity are held in restricted funds or funds awaiting the Trustees decision for their disposal. The Trustees monitor projects on an individual basis to ensure there are sufficient reserves held to meet future project costs and the Charity's legal obligations.
c. Review of financial transactions
During the year ended 30 June 2023 income received aggregated £115,834 (2022 - £120,588); Gross expenditure aggregated £123,389 (2022 - £142,294). As shown in the statement of financial activities, the overall deficit for the year amounts to £7,555 (2022 - £21,706). The total funds carried forward at the year end amount to £64,190 (2022 - £71,745), of which £49,366 (2022 - £45,639) are held for restricted purposes.
d. Principal risks and uncertainties
The Trustees have examined the major strategic and operational risks which the trust faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to minimize these risks. As part of this process, the District has appointed officers to ensure the District's compliance with legislation concerning the protection of vulnerable persons, and maintain a preview of its insurance policies.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Lions Clubs International District 105SE Charity Foundation is a registered charity, registered charity number 1158845. The Trust is constituted by a Deed of Trust dated the 10 October 2014. The Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
On the 18 May 2015 the Trustees of Lions Clubs International District 105SE Charity Trust agreed to transfer the assets of the Charity Trust into Lions Clubs 105SE Charity Foundation and the Trustees of the Foundation accepted the assets as restricted/and or endowment funds as directed by the donors.
The Charity Commission at the request of the Trustees of both Charities linked the Charities on the 14 October 2015. The effect of this linking is that:
-
the Charities are registered under a single registration number.
-
the Trustees are required to prepare a single set of accounts for the reporting Charity and the linked Charity.
The Charity Commission approved the resolution by the members to amend the Constitution on the 15 April 2021. The amendment included registering the working names of the Foundation to include 'The South East Lions Clubs Foundation' and 'Lions Giving' and added the requirement that the Trustees must be Lions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Lions Clubs International District 105SE Foundation ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
1. General information
Lions Club International is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are to support disaster relief and to support projects which meet its objectives mainly in South-east England.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Lions Clubs International District 105SE Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
2.2 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that, with available funds and projected income and expenditure, the charity will continue in operational existence with sufficient resources to be able to continue as a going concern.
2.3 Income
Investment income is recorded when receivable.
Donations and voluntary income are recorded as received from the source donors on a cash basis. Donations paid out are recorded on the basis of the irrevocable commitment of the requirement of the Trustees to make the payment. The District Charity Trust Fund does not have contractually binding agreements for the level of donations that it makes.
The Charity receives trading income from management and transaction fees it charges on donations received via the Lions Giving platform for donations that are passed onto the relevant clubs net of the fees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Governance costs include all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.9 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
No key judgements (apart from those involving estimates as disclosed in the notes above) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies.
