## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. 

## **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 a member toward this fund. In the year to 30 June 2024, only 68% of potential donations were received totalling £26,726. The Trustees have requested the Council of Governors to do a full review and to identify the Youth projects the Lions of MD wish the MD 105 Foundation to support in future years – we are still waiting for this review to be undertaken. 

There was expenditure of £25,525 to organise the following activities: 

- Young Ambassadors programme with entrants from across the United Kingdom 

- Supporting a Young Leaders in Service Programme 

- Peace Poster & Essay Competition 

- Jubilee Sailing Trust – Ship Shape Award 

- Youth Exchange Camp 

The annual International Youth Camp was cancelled in 2023 but will go ahead this year in August 2024. 

The Foundation has continued to support the work of Lions Clubs in MD 105 British Isle through Grants. 

A £3,000 grant was made to Retford Lions for flood relief, and £306 was granted to the Deepings Lions for the hire of some portaloos for homes that had been affected by the floods. 

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.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **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 £62,519 (2023: £82,360) which all consisted of donations for current and prior year.  As shown in the statement of financial activities, the overall surplus for the year amounts to £7,929 (2023: £34,811). Total reserves at the end of the year amount to £473,398 (2023: £465,469), of which £359,784 (2023: £353,629) 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.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **a. Constitution** 

The Lions Clubs International Multiple District 105 Foundation is a registered charity, registered charity number 1164711. The Trust is constituted by a Deed of Trust dated the 4th December 2015. 

The Trustees of Lions Clubs International Multiple District 105 Charity Trust agreed to transfer the assets of the Charity Trust into LCI MD105 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 25th May 2016. 

The Trustees of Lions Clubs International M D 105 Youth Activities Trust agreed to transfer the assets of the Trust into LCI MD105 Charity Foundation and the Trustees of the Foundation accepted the assets as funds as directed by the donors. 

The Charity Commission at the request of the Trustees of both Charities linked the Charities on the 28th June 2019. 

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 

In November 2020, the Charity Commission agreed to a revision of the Constitution removing the provision for an ex-officio Trustee and clarifying the procedure for appointing Trustees.

## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies**

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial  which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Lions Clubs International Multiple District 105 Foundation ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2024. 

## **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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of 

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 2024** 

## **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.

## **LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL MULTIPLE DISTRICT 105 FOUNDATION** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **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** 

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. 

## **2.9 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.
