## **Wareham Lions Club (CIO)** ## **Trustees’ Annual Report** **For the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024** ## **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. She 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 plus funding of our minibus operation via the Department for Transport Bus Service Operators’ Grant. We do not use professional fundraisers. All money is raised from within the United Kingdom. Our return to pre-pandemic levels of activity continues. Street activities occurred throughout the summer months. We took our games to Wareham Carnival, Wareham Wednesdays, a fete organised by Swanage Rotary Club and an event held on a local farm’s camping ground. We returned to our cream tea event in July with some success in fine weather. We held a book fair / bric-a-brac sale in October 2023, followed quickly by our Swim for Charity event. A post Christmas party for local senior citizens was organised in January 2024. Wareham’s Easter 2024 Beerex was to have presented us with an opportunity to raffle Easter eggs. However, a misunderstanding led to our non attendance at the event. The eggs purchased were kindly raffled on our behalf in local hostelries. A further book fair / bric-a-brac sale was held in March 2024. We also took our games to the Wareham Hospital fete in June 2024. Our minibus continues to feature heavily in our work. Activity remains centred more on transport for hospital visits and other medical appointments than in previous years. (Donations for use of the service are entirely voluntary.) Our income for the year was to £34k, £5k higher than last 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 2024. 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 plus monthly rental of our garage storage space. Our funds are held in accounts operated by Lloyds Bank plc. ## **3 Structure, governance and management** Wareham Lions Club (CIO) is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is registered with the Charity Commission (CC) with a registered charity number 1177953.

From within this membership, 7 trustees have been elected and 3 are ex officio, ie, president, secretary and treasurer in any given Lion year.
