Hook & Odiham Lions Club 

_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.

## **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 2025. 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 five 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 2024 - 2025 we have continued to support local 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 of our work both organisations undertake within the local community. The Hook Village Show in July 2024, organised by ourselves but supported by the Hook Parish Council and Odiham and Hook Rotary was a success despite rain during the event.  Due to the adverse weather our takings were down on previous years, but we still raised a reasonable sum to support our ongoing commitments, and we received many communications thanking us for organising a great day out. We decided not to proceed with the Spooktacula event in Odiham this year due to limited fundraising possibilities. We provided financial support, assisted in the organisation and running of the annual FunFest event organised in conjunction with other local Lions clubs during June 2025 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 2025 by providing site marshals and logistical support. We also attended other events such as ‘Off the Hook’ and the Odiham Parish Fete.

## **Hook & Odiham Lions Club** 

Due to recent high profile personalities being diagnosed with prostate cancer we decided to hold two events at the Odiham Cottage Hospital in conjunction with the Graham Fulford Trust. The November 2024 event tested 217 men and the May 2025 event tested 266 men. Due to this demand we propose to continue with running two screening events per year. 

We continue to support those in need within our community with charitable donations. As in previous years, we continue to fund a trip to Marwell Zoo for single parents in the local area.  We continue to support Lions Sight Savers, LIBRA and cancer charities. Due to the health issues of one of our members we made a direct donation to the Brain Tumour Trust. Notably we have supported local schools and a scout group for equipment and have provided direct financial support for those in serious fuel poverty. We continue our support for the Hook Foodbank by regularly transporting food from their central pantry. We increased our financial support to the Lions Community Store, as well as providing practical help where necessary. As in previous years we continue our support to local charities, foodbanks, organisations, dementia cafes and Senior Citizens at Christmas. We continue to work closely with the Lions Community Store in making up and delivering Christmas food and toy hampers to those in need. Globally we continue our support to LCIF by contributing to Disaster Relief funds and Stoves for Ukraine appeal. 

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. Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by: 

John Sandford (President)                                                                         Graham Botwright (Treasurer)

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **1     Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, 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) and with the Charities Act 2011. 

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

It is the**<br>**Club’s policy that the Community Services Committee**<br>**(CSC) regularly review outstanding obligations and if**<br>**such obligations are not taken up by the intended**<br>**recipient within twelve months of the date the**<br>**obligation is made then the  CSC may terminate the**<br>**obligation without prejudice to future requests by the**<br>**intended recipient.**<br>**It is The Club’s policy  to monitor at their discretion,**<br>**all grants made.
