Yeovil Lions Club was incorporated on the 8[th] February 2018. The enclosed audit report refers to the Lion year 1[st] July 2022 to the 30[th] June 2023. The accounts for this year are available if required.

Administration

These funds are held and raised directly from the Lions Club members or from members social events. Payments are made from this to cover District and International dues, insurance, club publicity items. No funds raised from the public are ever allocated to this account.

Fund raising (known as the Fireworks account)

This fund is held to the initial cost of putting on an event, to cover deposits for equipment, hire of halls etc. The fund runs at a nominal value however any excess money in this account is moved to the Charity Account.

Charity

Where funds are held and deposited from fund raising events. Money from this account only goes to charitable causes and cannot be moved to the Administration account. Grants made during the year 2022 / 23 are listed on the Public Benefits Statement.

However when taking over as treasurer our bank, HSBC changed the accounts from a local charity to a small business set of accounts and put all our monthly subscriptions into the Charity account of which there is still one member having their subscription paid into the Charity account. Our aim is to correct this for the next financial year.

Yeovil Young Achievers Trust (YYAT)

This is a separate fund we inherited from Yeovil Young Achievers Trust who wound up their organisation in April 2018. Their account closing balance was equally shared between Yeovil

Lions and Yeovil Rotary Club. The fund was originally organised by and funds raised byYeovil Young Achievers Trust who wound then support those youths within the community who required assistance to achieve their goals. They selected the two above organisations because our aims and objectives were the same as theirs. This fund is only used to support young achievers from our community. No money from this account can be moved to the Administration or Fund Raising / Events accounts. As money cannot be paid direct from the YYAT account, deposit account only it is transferred into the Charity account for payments.
