## **LIONS CLUB OF FLEET (CIO) A Charitable Incorporated Organisaton in England & Wales No. 1177181 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30TH JUNE 2025**
## **History, objectives and activities of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation**
The Club is a member of the International Association of Lions Clubs and was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 15th February 2018. The CIO was formed out of the Club's Charitable Trust and the Club's Administration Fund, which have been chartered by the Lions Clubs International since 1974.
The Objects of the Club are such purposes as are exclusively charitable in England, including in particular: the advancement of citizenship by promoting the principles of good citizenship. encouraging members to take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community. providing a forum for the open discussion of all matters of public interest provided that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated by members. encouraging service-minded people to serve their community without personal reward and encouraging the promotion of high ethical standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavours. supporting youth to develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals. promoting the Voluntary Sector for the public benefit by associating with local authorities in a common effort to advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation.
The advancement of health or the saving of lives by preventing avoidable blindness, assisting disabled people to lead independent lives, or helping to prevent or manage health issues. promoting for the benefit of the public the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment; and promoting community participation in healthy recreation.
Throughout the year, the Trustees have paid regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefits in dealing with the objectives and activities of the Club. The Club relies on the surpluses made from fundraising events, or donations from the public and other organisations, along with grants from local government, to provide the funds with which to carry out its objectives. All administrative expenses of the Club are met from subscriptions paid by its members. There has been no change in these policies during the year. The work of the CIO is carried out entirely by
volunteers. From time to time, as appropriate, the Club works closely with other local and national agencies, with other Lions Clubs, and with Lions Clubs International to achieve its objectives.
## **Management and governance arrangements**
The Club is governed by its CIO Constitution and by the Constitutions and By-Laws of Lions Clubs International, as revised from time to time. The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the CIO Constitution and By-Laws, by the members of the Club, and they have an overall responsibility to ensure that the Club operates in accordance with Charity law and the Club's CIO document. The day to-day running of the Club is overseen by the Trustees, and they form and organise such committees as it deems appropriate for the effective running of the Club. All business of the Club is ratified by the members in general (Club) meetings, which meetings are held at least once per month. The Club is ably supported by the volunteer services of its members and other members of the public.
Details of the Trustees who have served throughout the reporting period are set out at the front of this report and accounts. The Trustees meet at least once a month.
## **Financial review, investment policy. reserves and risk** .
The Trustees present their accounts for the period ending 30th June 2025.
Income for the period was £136,052 as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. This is 5.8% down on the previous year.
We have continued with our objectives to serve our community, and a wider world, where we assist the Lions Clubs International Foundation. Grants and Donations are listed in Accounts. Club projects continued where possible thanks to generous donations from the public, local government, and others. All funds raised are ready for donation, thus no risk is involved, and no reserves are required other than a working balance to fund the current events and projects. It is not thought necessary to make any investments.
The Club maintains financial assets in Current Bank accounts with its main Bank being HSBC. The Club has no longterm commitments, other than a twenty-five year lease (2018) with Fleet Town Council, as all available funds are for immediate donation or use in the case of other assets. The Trustees do not consider a long-term Investment policy as currently required.
Other Current Assets are maintained mainly for use within the Lions Community Store, being two commercial vehicles and storage units. Other assets include the Club's Father Christmas Sleigh and sound equipment and a Portakabin that is a workshop and store for the Recycle IT Project.
It is the policy of the Club to maintain restricted funds as well as unrestricted funds to the extent that donations and some Club funds have been donated or allocated for specific objectives of the Club. The adequacy of the reserves policy is reviewed annually. The Club also maintains its own funding for administrative costs and therefore maintains these within a restricted fund. The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Club is exposed to satisfy themselves that systems are in place to mitigate those risks.
## **COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTIVITIES**
This Fiscal year has been one of very high activity within the community as demands for support grow. We work with the community for the community. Our Restricted Funds (ringfenced) projects sustain this work with Lions Community Store as our long-term major project, The Store remains the major project of Lions Clubs, supported by the other Clubs within our area, known collectively as the Zone. This project collects, sorts, and redistributes household items for those who need help in establishing a home. It cost £29,558 to carry out this vital community work, in the year. We undertake to lead on the project, with help and financial support from other Zone Lion Clubs and Farnham Lions. Demand for this service continues and we were again able to distribute a larger number of Christmas Hampers in December 2024. Our services are being called on with hardships being experienced more and more. The support we receive is tremendous. Hart District Council have again funded deliveries and helping people in their housing.
Again, the demand for these services grow. The newly added Baby Bank was set up to service a need for clothes and baby items. We cannot thank the 15 dedicated volunteers enough for running this project. 3 Lions work at the Store,
and one in particular manages the project 20 hours a week with admin at home when needed. On average 120 hours per week are given over to this valuable community project. Thank you to all of you who helped. More details may be obtained through the website: www.communitystore.org.uk
Medical screening is another main project area and this year the club have helped purchase, for local use, Sight Cameras to check on children’s vision and also provided 250 subsidised PSA blood tests to help men to detect the possible start of prostate cancer. we offer a venue to take samples and have them analysed. We are proud to say we have been successful in detecting the start of cancer in many men and it has therefore been treated early. We have also continued with a test at home solution.
We have a community fund to help with paying utility bills for those that are unable to meet this ever increasing cost, the Utilities Project. This is regularly funded by donations from the community. This year funds have also been added from the general charity fund to meet demands.
The road sign project, for local events with volunteers and a stock of road signs to assist the community with road closures, known as the Fleet Lions Temporary Traffic Management Team, has re-started. Use of road signs is confined to storage, for those able to insure their own event. Organisers of community events are helped with the distribution of road signs under their own insurance.
**Recycling & Environment** The Lions Recycle IT, coordinated by Fleet FLOGS Branch helped by Zone Lion Clubs, continues to service local demands. This has been very successful and has proved again to be vital to those in financial difficulty. Spectacles have continued to be collected and dispatched to Lions' British HQ. Then on for sorting and transportation to other countries for use by their opticians, an initiative known as Spektrek. Our Spektrek glasses recycling continues to grow, and all are fully recycled with funds being used for Lions Sight projects. The new Bra recycling has been very positive too. This year we have again purchased and distributed wildflower seeds that can be sown in the garden to help Pollinators. Some schools have also taken up this offer for their wildflower areas.
Aldershot Lions Branch Club members have been a branch of Fleet Lions Club. and this has allowed them to make donations and grants They have also made donations to the Lions Community Store for Christmas hampers and helping them with packing and distribution. They help at the Aldershot Grub Hub. During the year the members joined up with Farnborough Lions to become a fully fledged club working in their Unitary authority region.
**Lions Zone Funfest** The Zone Lions Clubs each year organize a major event and pay for a day for families and carers with special needs, this year 1100 registered. The demand for this is growing - see www.lions-funfest.org.uk
**FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES** Collections and work with the Father Christmas Sleigh, which is partly shared with Hart Lions Club, continued with a new team and schedule. This is not only fundraising but also as a community service. The children do enjoy a visit. Funds raised at Christmas go mainly to fund the growing demand for Christmas Hampers which provide much needed food items for those unable to afford them, especially at that time of year. These hampers were distributed by the Lions Community Store. We are pleased to report that the Classic Motorcycle Rally and Concourse, that has been organised for over thirty years, grew this year, helped by great weather. It will again be staged in 2026 on May Day Bank Holiday. The Beerfest has become a great tradition, this being the 16[th] event in the Town's calendar, and we are pleased to organise and use the money for different causes. This year we moved some funds to our Restricted Funds for use by the Lions Community Store and Prostate Cancer Screening. In November, we were able to stage our biggest fundraiser, the Firework Fiesta and a major success. This is so popular in the area but takes a lot of volunteers to run. If you would like to help, please let us know.
**FUTURE PLANS & OUTLOOK** The Club continues to support the community both proactively and when, reactively, the regular fundraising events are now underway for the following year and much needed funds will help to continue the work we do for the community, which is at the heart of everything. Regular liaison with Hart Voluntary Action and other Town organisations has brought us into local events where we have been able to help other charities, who experience the same problems that we do. We are especially happy to help Fleet Town Council and volunteer team with their local events.
We are constantly seeking new members and our membership remains healthy and our Volunteer support network is growing. The volunteers help with fundraising (Fireworks needs a lot of helpers) as well as the Lions Community Store, loading and driving to deliver or collect. Marshalling for the Town at community events and helping where we
can. As always, we will continue to promote our work through social media, not to seek praise but to interest more people and encourage them to volunteer and join us as members and thus enable the work to continue. Join us on Facebook (Fleet Lions) for the latest reports or visit our website: www.feetlions.org.uk
The Trustees would like to thank all our Volunteers, Lions Clubs, Local Government support and of course our wonderful community for their valuable contribution in time or financial support.
**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER:** The Trustees recognize and are grateful for the work of the independent examiner who has undertaken the examination of the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025 on a “pro bono” basis.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE ACCOUNTS OF THE LIONS CLUB OF FLEET (CIO) (CHARITY NUMBER 1177181) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above Charitable Incorporated Organisation for the year ended 30 June 2025.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT**
As the Charity’s Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination 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 the 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 no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn on this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
