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._ ## **Charity Number** 1176812 ## **Trustees** Judith Goodchild (President) Kevin Oliver (Secretary) Graham Botwright (Treasurer) Terrence Cheesman Alyson Euridge Mark Hazell John Sandford Bankers – Lloyds, Fleet Road, Fleet, Hampshire ## **Principal Office** 11, Campion Way Hartley Wintney Hook Hampshire RG8TL ## **Independent Examiner** John C Geering FFA, ACIE 11 Glen Road Fleet GU51 3QS 3 ## **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 four 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 2023 - 2024 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. This year we combined our collection efforts with Odiham and Hook Rotary which allowed us to cover more streets to increase our profile for our work both organisations undertake in the local community. The Hook Village Show, organised by ourselves but supported by the Hook Parish Council and Odiham and Hook Rotary was a great success during July 2023. 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 organised our usual Spooktacula event again this year but due to limited fund raising possibilities we will not be continuing with this fund raising activity. We attended our annual FunFest event organised in conjunction with other local Lions clubs during June 2024. 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. We assisted Hart Rotary again to organise the Hartley Wintney Festival in June 2024. We were also able to assist at The Hook Fun Run in May 2024. We also attended other events such as ‘Off the Hook’ and the Odiham Parish Fete. Our Prostate Testing session in May 2024 gave us an opportunity to carry out blood tests for 256 men in conjunction with the Graham Fulford Trust, which identified 5 men who urgently needed to visit their Doctor to check for possible Prostate Cancer. 4 ## **Hook & Odiham Lions Club** We have continued to support our local community by supporting Senior Citizens by helping with vouchers at Christmas and assisted in giving out excess of 600 Christmas Hampers, including 1288 Children’s toys, from our Community Store We have supported people in new social housing properties by providing new carpeting, washing machines and cookers and we have funded a trip to Marwell Zoo for single parents in the local area. We have supported Lions Sight Savers, LIBRA and cancer charities. We made several donations to the local Food Banks, a local Hospice and to various members of the local community who needed help in times of hardship especially for fuel poverty, and provided money towards the purchase of a specially lightweight wheelchair to give mobility to a disabled person. We regularly transport food for the Hook Food Bank each week and give financial and practical support for our Community Store, as well as other local organisations such as Hampshire Air Ambulance, Hampshire Home Start, a local tennis club, and funded a special piece of equipment for the Whitewater Health Practice. We continued our initiative by installing defibrillators strategically placed at sites across our area. Globally we supported LCIF by contributing to Disaster Relief funds, Sight Savers and an eye hospital in Accra, Ghana 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.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied: ## **Offsetting** There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP. ## **Fund Accounting** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure as imposed by a donor or grant provider. ## **Incoming Resources** All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities on a receipts basis. **Resources Expended** Charitable expenditure includes those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity. ## **2 Trustees Remuneration and Related Party Transactions** All trustees gave their time voluntarily and received no remuneration nor benefits from the charity. ## **3 Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within Section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges for the year have arisen in the charity. ## **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 ## **Events Account** **Funds** Funds **2024** 2023 **£** £ 10 **Hook & Odiham Lions Club** ## **5 Charitable Income other than fund raising events** **Funds** Funds **2024** 2023 **£** £ Windsor Horse Ride (support for Windsor Lions) Nil Nil Hook Fun Run (Marshalling support for event) 300 500 Door to door deliveries for Parish Council Nil Nil Hartley Wintney Festival (support for Hart Rotary) 2,000 Nil The proceeds from these support activities are allowed by our constitution to be used to offset our member subscriptions – two per year.
