Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.
Para 1.17 and
1.19
1. The advancement of citizenship.
We have continued to be committed to
supporting young people to develop their
skills, capacities and capabilities to enable
them to participate in society as mature and
responsible individuals.
Our major fund-raising activity involves
taking our Father Christmas sleigh around
the 17 villages in our area in December.
Without the support of a large number of our
local Scouts, this would be beyond the
resources of the Club. For their assistance
donations are made to their funds.
We believe strong, inclusive village
community groups are vital in our rural area
and we endeavour to forge strong links with
youth and community groups so we can aid
them in their ambitions. For example, we
have built a relationship with a group called
Sharing Life, a multi-generational group who
provide support to people of all ages.
2. Promoting the voluntary sector for the

Page | 1

public benefit. Our coconut shy continues to be in great demand donation at even more local church and village fetes than ever before. We use these opportunities of meeting the wider public to promote Lions and the voluntary sector. Those who seek donations are always invited to meet with members of the Club to gain a greater knowledge of the activities we undertake to raise the money in the first place. Recognising the importance of communicating to as wide an audience as possible, we maintain our Club website, advertise in parish magazines and continue our presence on social media. We were fortunate to have a radio interview to promote our Christmas activities too. We have started working with a local college, getting involved with different sets of students, particularly those who have come as refugees, often orphaned who are learning English. We meet and chat with them helping their language skills. We continue to this day, we all really appreciate their effort. 3. Promoting volunteering. All our members are volunteers in that we make donations to Lions Clubs International to cover our administration costs. We believe every penny we raise through fund-raising activities should count towards fulfilling our objectives. Promoting volunteering is essential to our well-being and to achieve the maximum public benefit. We encourage our community groups to volunteer with us so that we can achieve more. Without the large number of volunteers who join with us, we would not be unable to undertake the activities we do. Notable examples include again involving non-members to help staff the water station at the local marathon, visiting 17 villages with our sleigh and collecting around 450 Christmas trees and shredding these for recycling. We contributed funds to a project run by volunteers from Humberside Police who work with teams of young people on community projects in East Yorkshire.

We supported a volunteer working at The Joseph Trust (Charity number: 1196928) in the purchase of bicycle work stands and sets of tools. Children outside of mainstream education attend these facilities and bicycle construction and maintenance have been found to be very popular. 4. The relief of poverty and the relief of those in need. We continue to support local food banks through the winter and spring. Monthly financial donations were made to one while for another, we paid for fresh fruit and vegetables to be provided by a local greengrocer. In addition, we also delivered surplus food from a local allotment site to kitchens preparing meals for those less fortunate. Surplus food from our Senior Citizen event was again delivered to a local homeless centre. 5. Providing humanitarian aid and disaster relief. We make an annual donation to our International Foundation which responds rapidly to environmental and other crises all over the world. Specific donations were made in relation to the earthquakes in Myanmar. We made a further large donation to help fund the provision of wood-burning stoves to those facing the winter in Ukraine. We gave support to a local Lions Club in their continued commitment to send children’s books to those communities in Sri Lanka still recovering from the effects of the 2004 tsunami. 6. The advancement of health or the saving of lives. We continue to supply the Lions ‘Message in the Bottle’ free of charge to elderly people so their health needs would be available to emergency services should they collapse at home. We have facilitated donations from an individual for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Along with many other local Lions Clubs we gave a donation to help purchase specialist treatment chairs and to create a garden at a local hospital. We have increased the number of locations in our area to collect used spectacles. Over

1,500 were sent to a local optician for cleaning, grading before being sent to countries throughout Africa and Asia where they are put to good use. We provided a donation to an event raising money for the charity ‘4Louis’ (Charity number: 1172212). This charity provides memory boxes for those who have experienced stillbirths or lost babies or young children. 7. Promoting for the benefit of the public the conservation protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment. Continuing to work closely with the charity 'Just Helping' (Charity number: 1149068), we organised the collection and recycling of a record number of Christmas trees. These were all recycled, some used to form a path through a snowdrop wood where further charitable donations were made. A record amount was collected in donations which were given to the local hospice. We paid for the materials for a Scout group to make bird and bat boxes. These were then put up in the local community orchard. 8. Promoting community participation in healthy recreation. We funded awards for a local junior cricket club to help promote participation. We continue to maintain and insure a motorised wheelchair for a severely disabled person who wishes to continue to support her local cricket team. We provided a donation to help support the running costs of a local swimming pool. Acting as marshals, members supported a local Lions Club who had organised a bike ride in which approximately 250 riders of all ages participated. Again, members and volunteers ran a drinks station at the Yorkshire marathon. We received sponsorship to again fund coach trip to a Christmas show provided by a local Lions Club. A fish and chip supper was provided for senior citizens before the event which proved to be a great success. Our annual Christmas party for the elderly was very well attended. Transport was provided to this free event from care homes and outlying villages. Our guests contributed many prizes and a large amount in donations to the chosen charity of the entertainer we provided.

Commission on public
benefit
Para 1.18 All trustees have been trained and

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20 Derwent Lions are committed to serve our
local, national and international
communities.
Our fund-raising efforts continue to be
successful, so we are in a healthy financial
position to support those who seek
assistance within the limits of our
constitution.
We continue to receive requests for support
from a wider range of individuals and
organisations. With our experience and
contacts, we act as a ’signpost’ to others
offering support and assistance.
Our activities outlined above have made a
substantial difference to the lives of many
people less fortunate and improved the
health and well-being and vitality of those
living in the villages we serve. In addition,
our small contribution combined with that
from Lions Clubs across Great Britain make
a valuable contribution in the wider
community and those less fortunate in other
countries.
The selfless service provided by our
members has stimulated volunteers to help
with our activities and take more active roles
in improving society as a whole.

Financial review

Financial review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 The charity is in good standing with £9,963
available to fund charitable causes, including
£804 restricted for specific ventures. This is
considered to be a reasonable balance to
cover cash flow variances and to give the
club the capability to make a substantial
donation should the need arise.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22 A reserve of funds is held which is sufficient
to cover project liabilities should a project
that is launched fail to generate income.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £2,000
Reasons for holding zero Para 1.22 N/A
