| Brief statement charity's 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. | |||||
