Wareham Lions Club (CIO)
Trustees’ Annual Report
For the period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021
Charity name: Wareham Lions Club (CIO)
Charity registration number: 1177953
1 Objectives and activities
Wareham Lions Club is constituted in order for local volunteers to provide help and support, both physical and financial, predominantly to the local population of Purbeck, regardless of age.
We also provide financial contributions to appeals raised by our international parent body, Lions Clubs International. These are primarily concerned with third world health issues or disaster situations. (The monies are passed to our UK based District Treasurer. He then deals with onward transmission of the funds.)
We do not limit to whom help is provided but judge each application for funding on its merits.
Money is raised solely by our own fundraising efforts. No corporate or government funding is sought or given except for gift aid on eligible contributions. We do not use professional fundraisers. All money is raised from within the United Kingdom.
Activities during the reporting period were severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, most activities being lost. As a result, our income has been greatly reduced.
The first phase of lockdown began to ease in July 2020. Pubs began trading again and sterling efforts were made by the publicans to generate income from the Easter eggs that they still held. (Some eggs
were donated to other charitable organisations.) As a result, a very modest profit was realised with respect to 2020’s Easter egg campaign.
The period between the first and second lockdowns (Jun to Oct) was characterised by a requirement not to engage in large public gatherings. Summer activities in the local area were consequently lost.
We attended a local car boot sale on two occasions in September 2020 making a small profit as a result.
Further fundraising activities then ceased as the second and third lockdowns took effect.
The start of the vaccination programme, in December 2020, gave us the opportunity to assist in providing transport to and from the local vaccination hub for our local community, as particular age groups were called for first and second jabs. As this service became more widely known, we have also provided hospital transport for a number of people. No charge is made for this service, but individual donations have given us a small income towards bus running costs.
Local charitable groups have folded during the year. As the result of the disbursement of their remaining funds, we have received a small donation.
One our older widows died this year shortly after celebrating her 100[th] birthday. The funeral collection and the proceeds of the sale of car were donated to the club.
As a result of the covid pandemic, our total income for the year fell to just less than £8k from in excess of £34k in the previous reporting year.
2 Financial Review
Our accounts for the reporting year are appended to this report. They have been examined by an independent accountant and are deemed to be a true and fair view of our financial affairs as at 30 June 2021.
Our financial year commences on 1 July every year and runs to 30 June in the following year.
At the end of the reporting period, the financial position of the charity remains healthy (see accounts).
We do not hold a reserve per se but monitor our financial situation continually. We pay particular attention to funds necessary to run our minibus. Maintenance, fuel and insurance costs exceed £3k per year. 10% of the net proceeds of all events are transferred to the minibus running account. Further monies are raised or transferred as necessary.
We view replacement of this asset separately. (Specific fundraising activities for bus replacement have occurred in the past.) Currently, replacement of the bus in not felt necessary.
We have no unfunded deficit.
We have no other material assets whose value could concern us.
We hold no funds on behalf of others.
None of the trustees or other club members receives any remuneration for their activities. The club has no employees.
The miscellaneous expenditure was concerned with gift aid receipt transfers and equipment purchases to support our fund raising activities.
Our funds are held in accounts operated by Lloyds Bank plc. The former Natwest accounts currently remain open but with a zero balance in each.
