Summary ofthe main

during the year
The CIO is the successor to Bromley Lions Club, which was originally
chartered as a Lions Club on 6~ February 1987.This is the fifth year of
operations as a CIO. The CIO has continued
the activities ofthe old Club
which, rather by default (due to other local Lions clubs having ceased
operations) was covering quite a large geographical
area.
The Club's fund-raising
activities
rely on social interaction
which was
either forbidden
or severely restricted for more than a year due to the
Covid19 pandemic.
The loosening
ofrestrictions
in the summer
of2021
allowed the Club to resume
normal activities quite quickly.
Having seen
'Charity'
account income collapse from around f16,000to less than
82,000the Trustees are pleased to report that this latest financial year
saw 'Charity'
account income back to around 216,000.
Ordinarily
the Trustees consider that the traditional
fundraising
events
and activities display good coverage of local areas whilst helping to
spread the word ofthe works of Lions Clubs into a variety of
communities.
Quiz Nights were held in Bromley, Beckenham,
Hayes,
Petts Wood, Biggin Hill and Farnborough,
Lucky Dip stalls were present
at Biggin Hill, Grove Park and Hayes events and the Christmas
collections at Bromley South Station resumed.
Regarding
charitable
grants, thanks to the cautious approach to funds
preservation
adopted
by the Trustees during the pandemic
period the
Club emerged
with sufficient reserve funds such that itwas able to
resume
making charitable
donations as soon as normal social interaction
was permitted.
Overall the Club made 37grants (19the previous year) that totalled
almost R8,400compared to R3,700 in the previous year. Ofthis sum;
90%was granted to 'frontline'
charities;
6%was granted for 'community
benefit';
1%was granted
in respect of'personal
hardship',
3%was granted to Lions appeals and causes.
96%ofthe grants were directly or indirectly for the benefit ofresidents,
communities
or charitable
organisations
working
for the public benefit
within the London Borough of Bromley.
