The Constitution stipulates that the minimum number of trustees shall be three and the maximum twelve. The President, Secretary and Treasurer are all mandatory trustees. Any member taking up those posts must be a trustee. The process for the appointment of trustees is stipulated in the Constitution. A ‘Trustees’ meeting is held when required, and in any case every two months. This meeting manages the governance of the club as set out under the Charitable Incorporated Organisation Constitution.
The Charity’s insurance requirements are covered under Lions Clubs International Multiple District 105 insurance arrangements.

## **Donations**
In this 12-month period the club had an income of £9,066.07
We continued to provide service activities where possible including members of the club assisting with community activities supporting the vulnerable. The two major donations this year being towards Kids Cancer Charity in support of the overall aim of Lions Clubs International to support Childhood Cancer, and towards providing Pallative Care memory Boxes at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton.
Our Santa Sleigh was successful again this year. Following the changes we made last year because of local licensing arrangements; Barnes Explorer Scouts obtained a licence to cover some extra days in a second week and banked £431.50.
The CIO donated £1,231.46 to Lions Clubs International Charities during this period, including £800 to the disaster appeal for Lions Clubs International Foundation Disaster General Disaster Fund.
The CIO have supported local causes to the sum of £1,910, including donating £440.39 towards providing a hand control and buggy head for a vulnerable family.
During the year the CIO also helped to marshal the Knaresborough Lions on their bed race day.
The CIO continues to try and recruit new members however this is proving to be a challenge. We did recruit one member in July 2023, but he moved from the area at the end of this Lions year.
## **Membership**
Membership of the CIO at the end of June 2024 was 7 active members. Members meet once per month and take part in the social and fundraising activities of the CIO.

## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
