## The Lions Club of
- 2) Encourage members to take an active interest in civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community.

- 6) Promoting the relief of poverty in particular by providing humanitarian aid and disaster relief.
- 7) Promoting the advancement of health by preventing avoidable blindness, assisting disabled people to lead independent lives or helping to manage health issues.
## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims**
We constantly review our aims, objectives and activities each year to ensure that we are focussing on the most effective means to raise funds and help local communities and individuals. This does change each year depending on circumstances and needs. The review looks at the success of each activity and event and the benefit accomplished. As a result, less effective activities may be replaced by new events as we move forward.
We refer to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our success and planning for the future.
During the year, we raised finance from the public at a number of events as outlined in the Fundraising Report. Hospitals and health related Charities were actively supported by the club during 2023 – 24 and further details of this support is included in the Community Services Report. A new venture – Message in a Wallet was also launched and proved to be very popular. The Club continued to increase its Environmental Activities throughout the year with further involvement with the Morpeth Railway Station and the Greater Morpeth Development Trust. Full details are outlined in the Environmental Activity Report.
## **The strategies we use in order to meet our objectives**
Provide a range of club wide activities, events or donations that will give benefit to Youth, the General Community, Health or the elderly. The activity or organised events are tailored to meet the needs of that particular group. The following reports will provide fuller information on these activities and organised events that have taken place during the year.
Other organised events may be general fund raisers held in order to provide funds for local causes and families in need, especially towards Christmas where strong provision is made for Children and needy families in the local and outlying area.
A number of events will change from year to year depending on popularity and whether the Trustees feel that the event is likely to be supported by the public.
Since the Club is an integral part of Lions Club International Foundation, we are always mindful of International emergencies and disasters where immediate relief is necessary. As indicated in the various reports, Lions Club of Morpeth are always very active in organising street collections or other events where appropriate in order to make significant donations to International Disaster Appeals in line with LCIF requests.
Of course it is not always about money and donations. This year Lions have been very actively involved in providing services to the community such as gardening assistance to a local

organisation who provide facilities for the blind and partially sighted, to a local Community Hub and the maintenance of flower beds at the local railway station.
## **How our activities deliver public benefit**
More detail on how we deliver public benefit can be gained from the Community Services, Fundraising and Environment reports below.
Over the year, The Lions Club of Morpeth have responded to a wide range of needs from local community to National and International Disaster Relief.
Each request for help and each donation is carefully considered by the Community Services Committee and the Trustees entirely on its merits before being approved by the Club Membership.
## **The Focus of our Work**
In 2023 – 2024 the Club carried out a wide range of successful events which are detailed in the following reports, which form part of this Annual Report.
Organisation of activities and events is the responsibility of the ‘Fundraising Committee’, supported by the full membership of the Club.
The ‘Community Services’ Report and the ‘Fundraising Committee’ Annual Report which follows (pages 7 & 8 respectively), provide greater detail on the events and fund raising activities that we have been able to complete during the year.
The President and Trustees thank all Members of the Club and the Committees for their valued support and contribution in both fundraising and social events throughout the year.
Lastly, sincere thanks must go to the generous public of Morpeth and outlying areas who have also given such strong and consistent support to the Club throughout the year.

## **PRESIDENTS REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2023 – 2024**
As with last year’s President this is my fourth term in the office of President. On taking office, I considered it to be a holding year as newer, younger members come forward to take on the role. I might have thought that but, in the event, the year was as busy, if not busier, than previous years.
Much of the increased activity was due to the purchase of a Christmas sleigh complete with Rudolph. Our usual Christmas activities were supplemented by additional appearances of the sleigh, Rudolph and Santa. On the downside for the local community, I had to dress in an elves costume – not my best look but great fun.
## The Lions Club of
_Registered Charity 1175272_ Morpeth
When I took office I had not reckoned of having a hip and cataract operations. This resulted in some time out from meetings but fortunately not that much. I am indebted to Vice President Richard Short for stepping in when required. Indeed I could not have undertaken the role without the Trustees, Committee Chairs, members and their wives, partners and families.
Fundraising goes from strength to strength. The main source of income is again the two Book Fairs, helped now by being held in the shelter and warmth of the Town Hall. Other events such as the street and supermarket collections went well as did the more social fundraisers such as the Chinese banquet. Many thanks go to our event sponsors such as Bella Boo, Ashington Asda, the Co-op, Dobbies, The Works, Doves Builders Merchants, Castle Carpets and private individuals. As well as sponsoring sweets for children at Christmas, Winn Electrical have provided accommodation for our sleigh and Rudolph. St Georges Church and Morpeth Methodist Church have helped in collecting toys for our Christmas appeal.
We continue to make financial and other practical donations to local charities, good causes, hardship cases and individuals with special needs. More details of this are given elsewhere in this Report. I will not forget delivering Easter eggs to the local Bikers at Woodhorn Colliery before they set off to deliver to local hospitals. There were hundreds of bikers, many in fancy dress and what a noise.
We had yet another successful Charter night at the Rugby Club and thanks must go to Lion John and his wife Anne Gray in organising this. I even managed to persuade my younger family members to come along.
It has been an enjoyable year and thanks to all those who made it happen and to the communities of Morpeth and Ashington and surrounding towns and villages for their tremendous support. Finally thanks to my wife Joy, without whom I could not have managed to take on the role of President.
_Chris Offord President 2023/2024 Lions Club of Morpeth_
## **COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORT 2023 / 2024**
Thanks to the Club’s fundraising efforts the Community Services Committee was able to give donations and make purchases of some £20,000 during the year. There is much hardship being felt within our communities and it was no surprise that the Wansbeck Valley Food featured highly in the list of recipients, along with local schools and

individual cases of need. The Club works closely with Northumberland County Council and local support agencies in helping those in need and the homeless. The Club donates presents and sweets to those families in need at Christmas and these have been supplemented by welcome donations from local firms and individuals. Hospitals and the associated health related charities received donations. These included Tiny Lives, the Bubble Foundation, Children’s Cancer North, the Sick Children’s Trust, Great North Air Ambulance, Northumberland Blood Bikes, Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, the Rainbow Trust and Northumberland Hospital Radio.
A new venture for this year was Message in a Wallet which supplements the existing Message in a Bottle. Another new venture was to help fund a book on child abuse. This has been written by a local author who suffered abuse as a child and the Club were delighted to support its introduction to many local schools. It is hoped that other Lions Clubs will help get this out beyond our catchment area.
Youth projects were also helped through Teenage Care, the Bedlington Air Cadets and the True Colours Theatre as well as toys and clothing for families in need. Under the Environment Committee, the Club helped secure a grant for Vision Northumberland to help refurbish their garden for the partially sighted. The Club continues to collect unwanted spectacles as part of a Lions nationwide initiative for distribution to countries without adequate eyecare services.
The Club supported humanitarian crises worldwide through Lions Clubs International Foundation. The Club was very keen to help those suffering in the conflict in Gaza and was able to do this with a donation to UNICEF.
## **FUNDRAISING REPORT 2023 / 2024**
In line with previous years, **The Lions Club of Morpeth** followed its successful program of events, and as always was prepared to raise funds and assist smaller local organisations at short notice.
Our main fundraising events are listed below: 1) Book fairs.

## **ENVIRONMENT REPORT 2023 / 2024**
It has been a very wet year and this has curtailed some of the Club’s environmental activities. Nevertheless the following projects have been undertaken.
## **William Turner Woodland, Carlisle Park, Morpeth**
Ten year ago as part of the Club’s 40 year celebrations, the Club planted 40 trees on a grass bank adjoining the town’s William Turner garden in the main park. William Turner (1508 – 1568) was a Morpeth born physician and naturalist who became the first person to identify and name plants correctly in English. The Garden includes many species he identified for use in medicine. The Lions have complimented the garden with a woodland bank of flower and fruit trees identified by William Turner for medicinal properties.
This woodland needs continual management and a small team of Lions has continued this with help from the County Council’s Grounds Team.

## **Morpeth Station Landscape Project**
Three years ago Morpeth Station buildings were undergoing a major facelift. As part of the facelift the Club combined with the Greater Morpeth Development Trust and the Rotary Club to provide two raised shrub and flower beds and a rockery garden. Each year, for two “summer” months, the Club is responsible for weeding and watering the plants. GMDT and Rotary are responsible for another four months. In addition, this year the Club has planted up six wooden tubs on the platforms and added extra plants to the rockery. Discussions are continuing with Northern (Rail) about landscaping a further area at the Station.
## **The Northumberland County Blind Association (Vision Northumberland)**
The NCBA’s HQ is near the centre of Morpeth. Part of the garden held the award winning Chelsea Flower Show exhibit of some 13 years ago based on the town’s William Turner garden. The garden was neglected due to lack of volunteers with Covid restrictions. The Club formed a gardening team to restore the garden surrounding the HQ. However two years ago it was decided to replace the William Turner element of the garden as it was unsafe for use by the visually impaired. The Club helped in demolishing the previous garden and securing grants for the replacement landscape scheme. This was completed this summer. The Club continued with the maintenance of other parts of the gardens.
## **Bulb Planting**
The Club has helped the Greater Morpeth Development Trust in bulb planting and weeding alongside a path leading to the Station in Morpeth.
## **Litter Picks**
Club members help with Morpeth’s litter picks.

## **Financial review**
## **Review of the year**
## The Lions Club of
_Registered Charity 1175272_ Morpeth
The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
During the year the Charity had income of £33,130 (2023: £27,187) of which £0 was restricted (2023: £5,780) and expenditure of £32,614 (2023: £29,845) of which £0 was restricted (2023: £5,780). There was an operating surplus of £517 (2023: deficit £2,658) of which a £0 was restricted (2023: £0).
At 30 June 2024 the Charity had net assets of £9,182 (2023: £8,665) of which £0 was restricted (2023: £0).
## **Reserves policy/Going concern**
The Trustees consider the level of reserves, £9,182 (2023: £8,665), prudent for the Charity at this time. Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually.
## **Risk Management**
The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of volunteers, clients and beneficiaries. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity SORP requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the receipts and payments of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
For the year ended 30 June 2024
I report on the financial statements of The Lions Club of Morpeth for the year ended 30 June 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention 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
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a "true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

The charity has liabilities which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
## 4.5 **Provision for liabilities**
