Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
This year the operations
ofthe club have with one or two exceptions
returned
back to normal operations. The senior citizens party and Swim
night
are the major events
still cancelled because ofCovid, All the major
fundraising
events went ahead this year and were very successful
with
most event earning
more than they did before Covid. The book sales at
the local stations and the book shop continued
and the amounts
raised
have come back to the normal
levels experienced
before Covid. One of
the benefits over the year due to marshalling
the covid vaccinations
is
that the membership
has increased due to interest from Covid volunteers.
The club has sufficient funds to continue
grant making
Brief statement

policy
ofthe
on reserves
The CIO as a grant making
organisation
attempts to provide as many
grants as possible throughout
the year, with the aim ofkeeping a
minimum
ofreserves. The level ofthese reserves would
normally
be kept
to around f15000 in its charity fund. This takes into account that there is
currently
funds
ring fenced for various activities,
with 66000 reserved
for
Health awareness
activities (although
this was cancelled)
with further
ring
fencing off5000 for provision
ofholidays for families
in need or with a
disability where a holiday would not normally
be possible.
The admin account is kept at a value through-out
the year in order that
it
may meet its commitments,
where the main commitment
is to pay its
dues to the Lions organisation.
This is ensured
by having
membership
dues set at a level to be able to meet this commitment.
The 200 Club is maintained
at a level to meet its commitments
which is
mainly to provide prizes 4 times a year. The level ofprizes are
determined
by the number ofmembers
in the 200 club and only surplus
funds are used to make grants.
There is no overdraft
facility
in place in any accounts so there is no
possibility of being overdrawn.
