Wareham Lions Club (CIO)
Trustees’ Annual Report
For the period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022
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.
The slow exit from the coronavirus pandemic continued to have a major impact on our ability to return to our pre-pandemic level of activity.
We held a book fair / bric-a-brac sale in October 2021, but this was poorly attended probably as a result of continuing uncertainty regarding public gatherings.
Our annual Swim for Charity event returned in October at about 80% of the levels achieved two years previously.
A further book fair / bric-a-brac dale was held in April 2022. The event was targeted at support for LCIF’s efforts in support of Ukranian refugees and was helped by a street collection and the sale of ribbon lapel badges hand made by one of our Lion ladies. £1k was raised and donated to LCIF.
We received a large donation from a local resident in support of our local work.
Our minibus continues to feature heavily in our activities. With family members now able to deliver their own relatives for coronavirus jabs, our activity has been centred more on transport for hospital visits and other medical appointments. (Donations for use of the service are entirely voluntary.)
Our income for the year recovered to £26k having dropped to £8k last year. This is still some £8k below pre pandemic levels.
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 2022.
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 were successfully closed during the year.
3 Structure, governance and management
Wareham Lions Club (CIO) is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is registered with the Charity Commission with a registered charity number 1177953. We were registered with the CC on 16 April 2018.
Our membership fell from 27 to 25 during the year as a result of an untimely death and a resignation. From within this membership, 6 trustees have been elected and 3 are ex officio, ie, president, secretary and treasurer in any given Lion year. Trustees are elected at a CIO AGM, held in the second 6 months of our financial year, and serve for between 1 and 4 years.
