Chippenham Lions Club (CIO) is a local club formed as part of Lions Clubs International voluntary service organisation that helps local clubs and organisations to serve their local communities. Clubs are Chartered as separate entities with their own constitution but have links to other clubs in their Zone, to their District in the South Centre of England, the Multiple District of the UK and to Lions Clubs International. This provides a vehicle for the exchange of ideas to benefit the Local, National and International aims of Lions Clubs in their Charity activities.
Major Risks.
As the Chippenham Lions Club does not own property or employ anyone risks are considered to be low. All Lions Clubs and Trustees are covered by Lions Multiple District Insurance Policy.
To guard against insolvency the Trustees ensure that grants are only made against available funds.
- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.
