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. Grant-making policies

Projects and charities supported by the MD 105 Foundation are those supported by the Lions Clubs of Multiple District 105 and British Isles, some of the projects determined by Lions Clubs International Foundation, constituted in the United States of America. These projects and charities include aid schemes and community support at an international and national level. The scale and level of any donation to the Charity by an individual Lions Club is determined by the members of that Club.

b. Public benefit

The Foundation operates 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

The MD 105 Youth Trust is included in the MD 105 Foundation and individual Lions clubs are requested to donate £4.00 a member toward this fund. In the year to 30th June 2023 only 69% of potential donations were received totalling £27,609. Trustee have requested the Council of Governors to do a full review and to identify the Youth projects the Lions of MD wish the MD105 Foundation to support in future years.

There was expenditure of £9,409 to organise the following activities:

The annual International Youth Camp was cancelled this year due to lack of numbers but some of the young people did still travel to the UK to take part in the Youth Exchange Programme. The cancellation of the camp did result in a £1800 charge to the Foundation.

The Foundation has continued to support the work of Lions Clubs in MD 105 British Isles working with refugees being resettled in UK from Afghanistan and Ukraine, these programmes are ongoing.

A £5,000 grant from the Disaster Fund was given to Jersey Lions Club to help after the explosion that occurred at the end of 2022.

During the year the Trustees have continued to implement the recommendations on Governance, policies, practices, structures, and strategy of the Foundation accepted in October 2020. Trustee appointments have continued in line with this document.

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 Foundation are held in restricted funds or funds awaiting the Trustees decision for their disposal. The Trustees consider that the trust should build and maintain a reserve of £10,000 to cover the annual operating cost of the charity.

c. Financial review

The donated income of the Charity during this financial year was £82,360 (2022: £70,175) which all consisted of of donations for current and prior year. As shown in the statement of financial activities, the overall surplus for the year amounts to £34,811 (2022: £12,671). Total reserves at the end of the year amount to £465,469 (2022: £430,658) of which £353,629 (2022: £318,387) are restricted funds.

d. Risk management

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 minimise these risks. As part of this process the Multiple District 105 The British Isles has appointed officers to ensure compliance with the legislation concerning the protection of vulnerable persons, Data protection and to maintain a review of its insurance policies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

1. General information

Lions Club International Multiple District 105 Foundation is an incorporated charitable organisation registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities is the distribution of donations made to the Fund by member of Lions Clubs of District 105.

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.

Lions Clubs International Multiple District 105 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 and is 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 government support packages available and projected income and expenses, the charity will continue in operational existence with sufficient resources to be able to continue as a going concern.

2.3 Income

Donations from Member Lions Clubs of Clubs International 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 Multiple District 105 does not have contractually binding agreements for the level of donations that it makes.

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 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.

Page 10

LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT 105 FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 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.

2.7 Liabilities and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured 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.

2.8 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.
