Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity 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. |
