Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
With only a few members remaining in the Charity much has been achieved in providing some financial aid to local groups and organisations in this lower income region. Also, it has given, in terms of its membership size, considerable help to overseas aid through LCIF and other local individuals involved with such aid.
Regrettably, on 31[st] December 2020, four members of the charity resigned from it. Old age and frailty were given as the primary reasons. This left just four (three elderly) members to continue with the work of the charity. With so few members, efforts to attract new younger members proved unsuccessful, and with Covid 19 lockdown coming into effect in late March, fundraising events could not be held over the balance of charity’s year i.e. to 30[th] June 2020.
In a final socially distanced outdoor club meeting on 2[nd] June 2020 it was unanimously agreed to disband the charity, Lyn Lions Club, with effect from 30[th] June 2020. It was decided, also, to distribute the balance of the funds remaining in the welfare account to the organisations listed under the financial review section E, below.
