Hook & Odiham Lions Club

Trustees’ Report

The trustees present their annual report on the affairs of the charity together with the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity’s constitution, applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102).

Objectives and Activities

We aim to provide help and support primarily in our local area to those who are either in financial difficulty or who need our assistance for their own individual charitable needs or for activities in helping others within the community. Often the recipients of our support receive little or no help for their own specific purposes from government or local authorities. We also respond to appeals from Lions International to help people in other countries as a result of disaster where the money we give is distributed by Lions in the local areas. We raise money in a number of ways by charitable giving from the general public or from organised events such as village shows, firework displays, raffles, door to door collections and Christmas activities

Structure, Governance and Management

Hook & Odiham Lions was first established as a registered charity in 2018. It has formulated strong and long-standing links within the community. The structure of the charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The committee structure has a President, Treasurer, Secretary and three other trustees who have all been appointed by our club members. Decisions about our charitable donations are, in the first instance, considered by our Welfare Chair together with a team of members from the wider club. Recommendations for donations are made by the Welfare Team at our regular monthly Business meetings where all members are asked to give approval to each recommendation which are ratified by a majority decision.

Achievements and Performance

During 2022 - 2023 we have continued to support good causes. Our regular fund-raising events such as Christmas street collections with our sleigh, to the delight of local children and adults alike, have allowed us to make substantial donations. The Hook Village Show, organised by ourselves but supported by the Hook Parish Council, was a great success during July 2022. Whilst this proved to be a huge undertaking we raised a considerable amount of money and we received many communications thanking us for organising a great day out. We attended our annual FunFest event organised in conjunction with other local Lions clubs during June 2023. Several hundred people with special needs, and their siblings / carers, attended this ever-popular event, which is especially for them, where all attractions were paid for from our club’s funds.

4

We assisted Hart Rotary again in June 2023. We were also able to assist at The Hook Fun Run in May 2023. We also attended other events such as ‘Off the Hook’, Fleeting Days and the Odiham Parish Fete.

The end of October 2022 saw us once again run our successful Spooktacula event, which combines Halloween celebrations and a Firework Display.

Hook & Odiham Lions Club

We have continued to support our local community by supporting Senior Citizens in helping with vouchers at Christmas. We have supported people in new social housing properties by providing new carpeting, local Girl Guides, Hook Village Nursery and we have funded a trip to Marwell Zoo for single parents in the local area. We have supported health projects such as providing testing of over 200 men for Prostate Cancer, Lions Sight Savers, LIBRA and Brain Tumour research. We made several donations to the local Food Banks and to various members of the local community who needed help in times of hardship especially for fuel poverty. We regularly transport food for the Hook Food Bank each week and give financial and practical support for our Community Store who provide over 2000 parcels containing food and toys for local people who are experiencing hardship at Christmas. Globally we supported LCIF by contributing to Disaster Relief funds including Ukraine.

The Trustees hereby state, that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit, published by the commission, in exercising their powers and duties. Trustees Responsibilities Charity Law 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 its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: (a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; (b) make sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; (c) state whether appointed accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and (d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

4 Events Account

An Events Account was set up in 2018 to allow for transactions for both income and expense of specific charitable fundraising. It was agreed by our members that at the conclusion of each event any profits were to be divided between Charity and General accounts by 90% to Charity and 10% to General. The General Account allows for the purchase of club equipment and for repairs etc. As the Events Account is reduced to zero after each event, it has not been detailed within the scope of this report

Policy on grant
making
Para 1.38 It is the Club’s policy to apply funds in
accordance with the terms of the Clubs’
Constitution and to make grants to
causes where the Club believes that its
contribution will make a diference.
The Club will only make grants in
furtherance of its charitable objects
and in particular will apply at least 90%
of the funds per annum to local
charitable needs with the remaining
funds for international aid as the needs
arise, except in specifc cases of
disaster appeals where the funds
raised must go (through Lions Clubs
International Foundation) to the
detailed cause.
The Club would not normally support
applications from large national
charities (unless it is from and for the
local branch use) or charities dedicated
to issues deemed by the Club to be
already well funded.
The Club is prepared to work with other
local charitable organisations to fund
initiatives beyond the fnancial scope of
a single organisation.
The club receives requests for funds
from many local organisations each
year (e.g. schools, local charities, local
authority departments etc) and it is the
policy of the club that unless there are
exceptional circumstances only those
appeals made in advance of
expenditure are to be considered.
The Club will consider each application
for support, whether from previous
recipients of grants or from previously
unsuccessful applicants on their own
merits and whilst the Club will have
regard to the outcome of previous
grants, any new application will not
receive preferential or adverse
consideration.
When, the Club approves a grant, in
some instances and for a variety of
reasons the obligation is not taken up
immediately by the intended recipient.

16

It is the Club’s policy that the
Community Services Committee (CSC)
regularly review outstanding
obligations and if such obligations are
not taken up by the intended recipient
within twelve months of the date the
obligation is made then the CSC may
terminate the obligation without
prejudice to future requests by the
intended recipient.
It is The Club’s policy to monitor at
their discretion, all grants made.
Where the grant is for an extended
period, project progress should be
reported by the grant recipient on a
regular basis.

We have commenced ofering

The charitable services provided by our Club are best reflected by our commitment to people in our local area and in other parts of the world who need help. We are part of the world-wide organisation known as Lions International and are bound by their accepted code of ethics. We are, however, free to act autonomously to help others as agreed by our members. We are self supporting by each member making bi-annual subscriptions to support our work both within our local zone, district, multi district and Lions Club International. All members of our local area may become Lions regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, gender or standing within the community.

Hook & Odiham Lions Club

Trustees’ Report

The trustees present their annual report on the affairs of the charity together with the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity’s constitution, applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102).

Objectives and Activities

We aim to provide help and support primarily in our local area to those who are either in financial difficulty or who need our assistance for their own individual charitable needs or for activities in helping others within the community. Often the recipients of our support receive little or no help for their own specific purposes from government or local authorities. We also respond to appeals from Lions International to help people in other countries as a result of disaster where the money we give is distributed by Lions in the local areas. We raise money in a number of ways by charitable giving from the general public or from organised events such as village shows, firework displays, raffles, door to door collections and Christmas activities

Structure, Governance and Management

Hook & Odiham Lions was first established as a registered charity in 2018. It has formulated strong and long-standing links within the community. The structure of the charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The committee structure has a President, Treasurer, Secretary and three other trustees who have all been appointed by our club members. Decisions about our charitable donations are, in the first instance, considered by our Welfare Chair together with a team of members from the wider club. Recommendations for donations are made by the Welfare Team at our regular monthly Business meetings where all members are asked to give approval to each recommendation which are ratified by a majority decision.

Achievements and Performance

During 2022 - 2023 we have continued to support good causes. Our regular fund-raising events such as Christmas street collections with our sleigh, to the delight of local children and adults alike, have allowed us to make substantial donations. The Hook Village Show, organised by ourselves but supported by the Hook Parish Council, was a great success during July 2022. Whilst this proved to be a huge undertaking we raised a considerable amount of money and we received many communications thanking us for organising a great day out. We attended our annual FunFest event organised in conjunction with other local Lions clubs during June 2023. Several hundred people with special needs, and their siblings / carers, attended this ever-popular event, which is especially for them, where all attractions were paid for from our club’s funds.

4

We assisted Hart Rotary again in June 2023. We were also able to assist at The Hook Fun Run in May 2023. We also attended other events such as ‘Off the Hook’, Fleeting Days and the Odiham Parish Fete.

The end of October 2022 saw us once again run our successful Spooktacula event, which combines Halloween celebrations and a Firework Display.

Hook & Odiham Lions Club

We have continued to support our local community by supporting Senior Citizens in helping with vouchers at Christmas. We have supported people in new social housing properties by providing new carpeting, local Girl Guides, Hook Village Nursery and we have funded a trip to Marwell Zoo for single parents in the local area. We have supported health projects such as providing testing of over 200 men for Prostate Cancer, Lions Sight Savers, LIBRA and Brain Tumour research. We made several donations to the local Food Banks and to various members of the local community who needed help in times of hardship especially for fuel poverty. We regularly transport food for the Hook Food Bank each week and give financial and practical support for our Community Store who provide over 2000 parcels containing food and toys for local people who are experiencing hardship at Christmas. Globally we supported LCIF by contributing to Disaster Relief funds including Ukraine.

The Trustees hereby state, that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit, published by the commission, in exercising their powers and duties. Trustees Responsibilities Charity Law 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 its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: (a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; (b) make sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; (c) state whether appointed accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and (d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

4 Events Account

An Events Account was set up in 2018 to allow for transactions for both income and expense of specific charitable fundraising. It was agreed by our members that at the conclusion of each event any profits were to be divided between Charity and General accounts by 90% to Charity and 10% to General. The General Account allows for the purchase of club equipment and for repairs etc. As the Events Account is reduced to zero after each event, it has not been detailed within the scope of this report

Policy on grant
making
Para 1.38 It is the Club’s policy to apply funds in
accordance with the terms of the Clubs’
Constitution and to make grants to
causes where the Club believes that its
contribution will make a diference.
The Club will only make grants in
furtherance of its charitable objects
and in particular will apply at least 90%
of the funds per annum to local
charitable needs with the remaining
funds for international aid as the needs
arise, except in specifc cases of
disaster appeals where the funds
raised must go (through Lions Clubs
International Foundation) to the
detailed cause.
The Club would not normally support
applications from large national
charities (unless it is from and for the
local branch use) or charities dedicated
to issues deemed by the Club to be
already well funded.
The Club is prepared to work with other
local charitable organisations to fund
initiatives beyond the fnancial scope of
a single organisation.
The club receives requests for funds
from many local organisations each
year (e.g. schools, local charities, local
authority departments etc) and it is the
policy of the club that unless there are
exceptional circumstances only those
appeals made in advance of
expenditure are to be considered.
The Club will consider each application
for support, whether from previous
recipients of grants or from previously
unsuccessful applicants on their own
merits and whilst the Club will have
regard to the outcome of previous
grants, any new application will not
receive preferential or adverse
consideration.
When, the Club approves a grant, in
some instances and for a variety of
reasons the obligation is not taken up
immediately by the intended recipient.

16

It is the Club’s policy that the
Community Services Committee (CSC)
regularly review outstanding
obligations and if such obligations are
not taken up by the intended recipient
within twelve months of the date the
obligation is made then the CSC may
terminate the obligation without
prejudice to future requests by the
intended recipient.
It is The Club’s policy to monitor at
their discretion, all grants made.
Where the grant is for an extended
period, project progress should be
reported by the grant recipient on a
regular basis.

We have commenced ofering
assistance to people who are struggling
to pay their energy bills due to increase
in tarifs from the energy suppliers.
