WETHERBY DISTRICT LIONS CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (CIO)
Trustees Annual Report for the Period 1[st] July 2023 to 30[th] June 2024
The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the consolidated financial statements for the twelve (12) months period ending 30[th] June 2024. The trustees confirm that the documents of this charity, ‘Wetherby District Lions Club (CIO)’, demonstrates that the Club has operated as a ‘Charitable Incorporated Organisation’ in accordance with the current statutory requirements, that of the charity’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016.
- INTRODUCTION Chair of Trustees
This was another successful year for Wetherby District Lions Club CIO. We ran a full programme of events and provided financial and practical help to a wide range of beneficiaries including individuals in need and charitable support organisations in our area.
In conjunction with ‘Wetherby Riverside Bandstand Trust’ we ran ‘Wetherby Drovers Brass Band Marching Contest’ which raised funds and provided a great musical event for the people of Wetherby.
We worked with local schools, scouts, Royal Air Force Air Cadets, Mason House, Wetherby Arts Festival, Wetherby Riverside Bandstand Trust, Wetherby Runners, Tockwith Show, Morrisons and Wetherby Town Council.
Our ‘Santa’s Sleigh’ and ‘Dickensian Christmas Market’ events raised significant funds which more than covered the costs of the ‘Senior Citizens Party’ event; a meal and show which served 160 elderly and isolated people from our area.
As President I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped us raise money and deliver charitable services this year and I look forward to a similarly successful year coming up.
Martin Doxey, Chair of Trustees

– MISSION Vision and Values
Wetherby District Lions Club is inspired by and bases itself on its Mission, Vision, and Values to set up the guiding principles of how it operates. We understand that our performance and behaviour are guided as much by the spirit of the mission, vision and values as by the definition of them.
To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.
To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.
We exist to raise and disburse charity funds according to the constitution of Lions Clubs International and the rules of the charity commissioners and we aim to be involved in local, nationally and internationally community activities and projects.
To be committed, credible, compassionate and caring.
Lions became an international organisation after being founded in 1917 in Chicago. Since then, we’ve earned high marks for both integrity and transparency. We’re a well-run organisation with a steady vision, a clear mission as stated above, together with a long – and proud – history.

- OUR STRATEGY Priorities
Partnerships
To achieve our vision and mission, we know we must identify and work with partners who add value to the delivery of our services. Therefore we will work with other organisations in our community to deliver charitable services to all parts and assemblies in the Wetherby and district area.
Sustainability
To continue delivering on our objectives, it’s important for the charity to remain fit for the future and responsive to change. Therefore we will:
-
look to develop a membership recruitment programme so that we can maintain the charitable work of the Club;
-
look to recruit new internal and external trustees based upon insight gathered from a robust skills audit and gap analysis.
Communication
We will raise our profile using a range of communication channels. This will include growing our audiences to ensure more people know about our work and services by:
-
increasing our social media followers on all platforms;
-
continuing to develop our website as an information hub for our supporters and volunteers and to witness more page views to the website.
Development
We will develop our charity by carefully considering the needs of the people we serve in the community. We will support our membership and volunteers to develop their potential through improved learning and development opportunities and a review of trustee skills.
Conclusion
Our strategy aims to build a sustainable, impactful charity that makes a significant difference in the lives of people in the communities we serve. By achieving our vision, mission, and values, and by strategically engaging with partners, managing our resources and communicating effectively, we will foster a community that fully supports its people to live long, enjoyable and fulfilling lives for both the young and elderly.

The charity is also a member of the not-for-profit organisation ‘Volunteer Action Leeds’. Tis organisation offers a wide range of expertise and practical support for charitable organisations at minimal cost.
Charity’s organisational structure
Wetherby District Lions Club (CIO) was registered with the Charity Commission on 21[st] April 2016 using their ‘Association’ model. The charity’s members are members of Wetherby District Lions Club, which is part of the Lions Clubs International (LCI) organisation and operates according to a typical constitution of a Lions Club adapted to the local needs of the Club. A trustee appointment shall be made for a term of three years or in the event of a vacancy in the office of a nominated trustee prior to the expiration of his term of office, for such period as the trustee whose place s/he has filled would have continued in office. When new trustees are appointed they are given information about the role of a trustees and charity law in a ‘Trustee Induction Pack’. Local training courses are arranged for incoming and existing trustees.
Wider networks
Being a member of LCI, Wetherby District Lions Club operates through their national and international organisation. In any case of international disaster relief and long-term recovery, this is managed
Page 5
Version 1 01/11/2024

through the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF) which allocates grants and donations to Lions Clubs in the disaster zone, thus ensuring good governance and an auditable trail of funds.
Major risks and the system and procedures to manage them
LCI has a national structure in the UK and an international structure worldwide, headquartered in the USA; they provide advice, training and assistance in all aspects of fundraising and charitable activities. Nationally the organisation has office staff based in Birmingham to manage and support UK based members in their charitable pursuits.

- ACHIEVEMENTS and Performance
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
The trustees shall hold the charitable fund and its income and apply them for any purpose which is charitable according to the law of England and Wales whether for the benefit of any individual or group of people or for the benefit of any other organisation established for charitable purposes, (‘The Objects’), PROVIDED ALWAYS that the trustees shall not apply the charitable fund or any part thereof without first obtaining the approval, as defined in the Lions Club constitution, of the Lions Club at a Lions Club meeting. This is defined as a majority vote in favour, provided there is a quorum of members (50% of the Club’s members).
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit
In accordance with the Charities Act 2006, Wetherby District Lions Club (CIO) is required to confirm that the activities it undertakes to achieve its objectives are all carried out for the public benefit as described by the Charity Commission. In shaping these objectives for the past twelve months trustees have attended as many community events as resources allowed including school fairs where our tradition Yorkshire ‘Flat Cap Throwing competition was staged.
We worked closely with ‘Wetherby Bandstand Trust’ to create the second year of the ‘Drovers’ Day’ event which saw 18 brass bands march through Wetherby town and enhanced by an Artisan Market around Wetherby Market Place.
The Club presented the annual Santa’s sleigh rides in Wetherby and the neighbouring village of Kirk Deighton, bringing a great deal of good cheer to everyone and providing much needed income which was enhanced by further donations from the public.
The annual ‘Dickensian Christmas Market & Craft Fayre’ continued to be successful bringing in the crowds to see the market stalls and a variety of entertainment which included bands and many choirs from local schools and groups.
Additionally the following activities were held:
-
supporting several community activities including flower watering to assist the local ‘Wetherby in Bloom’ scheme;
-
presenting our ‘Cuddly Lion’ tombola at local fetes;
-
hosting a ‘Thankyou Biz Quiz Nite’ in partnership with Morrisons Supermarket for the local business community to support other charitable organisations;
-
presenting a ‘Fashion Show’ with an accompanying traditional ‘pub’ meal;
-
organising a ‘Senior Citizens’ Party’ and entertainment show for the benefit of 200 elderly people identified by local carers and groups;
-
operating a ‘free of charge’ community wheelchair loan scheme.

Charitable funds that Club members have raised are disbursed to charities, groups and individual beneficiaries in the local, national and international community in accordance with the ‘Grant Making Policy’. After due consideration by the Club’s Grants & Community Service Committee, and agreed by a majority vote by Club members, they have donated grants to the following categories: Cancer Care & Health; Child Welfare; Cancer Care & Health Community; Disabled; 17% Child Welfare 22% Elderly; 0% Community International Appeals; 0% Disabled National Charities; 22% Elderly Youth.

Specifically grant donations were awarded to a number of health related charities: Young Live vs Cancer; Kids Cancer Charity, and MedicAlert support.
The Club has continued to target grants to the local community, donating to service organisations and active community groups (Wetherby Weir Preservation Society, Wetherby Arts Festival, Wetherby Foodbank, Wetherby Bandstand Trust) and local youth groups (boys and girls football and cricket clubs, Brownie and Scouts packs and primary schools). A specific project was to support the local Wetherby Sports Association with the refurbishment of their Clubhouse. Additionally, support continued to be given to local families suffering ‘cost of living hardships’.
Also supported are Lions linked projects as: regional holiday schemes and elderly peoples’ festive meals and outings, Members gave service time and a grant to ‘Wetherby in Bloom’ and a local youth enterprise schemes.
A number of national/international charities were assisted such as Royal British Legion; Heart Research UK, and Lions International Foundation (LIF).
The ongoing war in Ukraine has created a significant humanitarian crises and the Club has supported this through both the LIF international appeals protocol and locally supporting a vehicle taking wheelchair and aid supplies to hospitals. With other Local Lions Clubs monies were raised to purchase and send two fire appliances to a Ukraine village.
Section D – Achievements and performance
The last twelve months has seen a continued increase in the monies raised from the Club’s annual events following the earlier impact of COVID-19 related issues. The cancellation of the ‘Great Yorkshire Bike Ride’ again in 2024 and the associated loss of the income, has impacted significantly on the funding for many local and international charities as well as loss of support to the charity work of other Lions Clubs in the Yorkshire Region.

Version 1 01/11/2024
TAR July 2023-June 2024
The charity continued to use ‘online giving’ as part of the portfolio with mainly the use of ‘JustGiving’ online facilities. This scheme, together with direct application to HMRC for fundraising activities, has enabled Gift Aid to be claimed which has increased fundraising efforts by £2,302.03. Other donation online giving sites as ‘Givey’, ‘PayPal’ and ‘GoodHub’ are all available to supporters.
Additionally, the publicity and encouragement of our members and supporters to use our online shopping donation schemes ‘Easyfundraising’ have also increased funds.
The Club continued to develop the website and social networking sites to publicise fundraising and charitable giving efforts. Commercial companies of Morrisons Supermarket, Manning Stainton Estate Agents and Franks Accountants have all provided support from their staff. Indeed, they have been a welcome resource attending at our community events.
Performance Review
During the year several detailed reviews of the charity’s performance were undertaken to ensure the quality of delivery. Trustees used the ‘Charity Governance Code' and the Charities Commission’s ‘Internal Financial Controls’ documentation as a basis to undertake the reviews.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity’s policy on reserves
The Club’s policy on reserves is not to hold a specific reserve fund but to husband its resources so that the Club is able to respond to requests for assistance as appropriate. Should a request of significance be received, which cannot be met from immediate Club funds, members will apply for emergency funds from LCIF; Structure - Governance and Management – Wider Networks refers. There are no significant legal or infrastructure obligations in the event that the charity needed to close.
Trustees have been conscious of the significant year-end balances in the former charity trust over the past years and have again worked hard to reduce this level during the year; see chart below.

----- End of picture text -----
Trustees set an objective in 2013 of holding a £10,000 year-end balance, this has not been achieved over the years and, due to the current economic climate and cost pressures, the target has been revised to £15,000.
Recognising the above position, trustees have endeavoured to maximise the situation without adopting a high risk investment strategy and have continued with a savings account with the Monmouth Building Society. Whilst the income from this account is currently small with interest rates at circa 1.00% per annum, it does realise a small income from the £16,669.31 currently deposited in the account.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Strategic risk management is regularly overseen by the board of trustees.
Page 11
Version 1 01/11/2024
TAR July 2023-June 2024
The trustees have considered the risks affecting the charity and its activities as part of its planning process and have concluded that there is little to no exposure to direct financial risk as there are few specific liabilities to managing the Club, particularly on the closure of the charity. They have recognised however the economic downturn on charitable giving which has continued in the period resulting in a lower funds being available to the Club; charitable grant giving has reduced accordingly and is expected to continue at this level in the short term.
The importance of safeguarding vulnerable older people and children in all areas of our work is at the forefront of our considerations. The charity has a safeguarding policy which applies to all Lion members and volunteers who have contact with any potentially vulnerable person or child.
Trustees are constantly reviewing the skills of trustees and regularly seek additional trustees from the organisation’s members and community representatives and will continue to do so in the coming year. All trustees continue to attended training courses as appropriate.

Version 1 01/11/2024
TAR July 2023-June 2024
– THE YEAR AHEAD Our Strategy
The charity will continue to support the people of Wetherby and the surrounding area by helping individuals and organisations in time of need as the Club has done for the last 58 years.
Through the implementation of our strategic framework, we will be challenging ourselves to further develop our services to be first-class, so that the health and wellbeing of those we support is truly enhanced.
Specifically trustees will:
-
consider the impact of the continuing COVID-19 related issues on the operation of the charity in respect of the fundraising activities and membership retention and recruitment;
-
review, before the end of the 2025 fiscal year, the events that have been staged in the period and determine if these events should be repeated in the next financial year;
-
continue to focus fundraising efforts within the local area and additionally to focus on conurbations outside of Wetherby; namely the town of Tadcaster and the villages of Boston Spa, Bardsey, Clifford and Scarcroft;
-
continue to manage events with a multi-disciplinary community team;
-
strive to increase membership by an organised professional approach showing due diligence and transparency throughout the process; particularly addressing membership diversity including LGBTQIA+ and non-binary/pansexual/2S inclusion;
-
develop further the use of social media to educate, inform and publicise the charity and its activities and ensure that all opportunities for the publicity and promotion of our services are maximised;
-
continue our assessment of our charity against the ‘Charity Governance Code for Small Charities’, ensuring the high standards of governance which forms part of the principles and recommended practices are met;
-
work towards diversity of the board of trustees and recruit new trustees with relevant skills and qualities.
