## **STONE LIONS CLUB (CIO)** ## **Annual Report to Charities Commission 2022-2023** Although we had previously announced the `winding-up` of our Mobility Scheme we still seem to be the main contact point for local residents requiring any information or access to disability equipment. We help wherever possible and will continue to do so. We have continued to fund raise wherever possible and events such as the Proms Night we held for the first time in October 2022 will hopefully become an annual event. Our fundraising with our Easter Eggs and now our Christmas Hampers have proved very popular and we have had requests from certain `hostelries` to do something extra at other times of the year. An indication I think of the support we have from the local Community. Our monthly Charity Lottery (3Cs) continues to be a great source of income thanks to the support received. The financial support from the local Business Community was disappointing for our PSA event in April 2023 compared to previous years but nevertheless we were able to provide tests for 472 men on the evening. We have continued to provide `financial` support through our Welfare Funds for various individuals and groups such as Guides on a working trip to Mombassa and the local Bereavement and Loss Support Group. We also presented a set of `environment` books to all Primary Schools in our area. They were very well received and appreciated. We still receive used spectacles for sending abroad, recycle ink cartridges and do our Litter Picking. We had a pleasant surprise when the Committee of St. Dominic`s Social Club where we hold our monthly meetings decided not to charge us any rent for the room hire plus some `free` evenings for social/fundraising events. This was expressed as being a recognition of our Charity status and the work we do in the Community. We hope to serve the local Community and maintain the fantastic support we receive from the residents in the years ahead and if the dedication displayed by the Members of Stone Lions Club continues that will not be a problem. We did have a recruitment event and although that was not a great success we now have two new Members. Lion Glyn Ravenscroft, Immediate Past President, Stone Lions Club. October 2023. **Stone Lions Club (CIO) Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1180413** ## _**Unexamined**_ ## **Accounts for 2022 / 2023** |Presidents|Mike Ward|July - Dec| |---|---|---| ||Glyn Ravenscroft|Jan - June| |Secretary|Robert Mackie|| |Treasurer|Rod Niven|| |Examiner|Barbara Martin|| ## **Stone Lions (CIO) Notes on the accounts for the 2022/2023 year** The attached sheets show the club accounts for the year just ended. The accounts have been run in accordance with Lions Clubs International requirements. Money raised from the public has been credited to the Charity account. ## PSA Within the Charity account is a PSA fund enabling us to hold a Prostate Testing event during the year. Some donations are given specifically for this event so this is classed by the Charity Commission as a Restricted Fund. These the figures have to be shown separately on our return to them. The invoice from The Doctor's Laboratory for the 2022 testing arrived after the end of the 2021/22 year so is included in this year's accounts. With the shortage of donations in 2022/23 the PSA fund made a "loss" of £7,408.78. It does not make sense that the PSA Fund balance should be negative so £4,163.59 of the general account was used to cover the PSA costs. The outstanding balance of £150 is because Barlaston Parish Council made a donation specifically for the 2024 testing. ## Charity account. For the Peace Poster Competition two cheques were issued to the school. By year end neither cheque had been presented to the bank nor has the school notified us of the payees names. The Mobility costs are considerably reduced from last year as we are not paying for motorised scooter servicing and repairs. ## 3C's This account is run as a "100 club" within the Charity account. For the convenience of the club this is run using a separate bank account. Any surplus funds are transferred to the Charity bank account, usually once a year. ## Admin account. This is money provided by members for the running of the club. Our operating expenses are considerably reduced as, since January, we are not paying room hire for our meetings. If the PSA Gift Aid overpayment by HMRC is omitted our account would have made an overspend of £388.68. ## Charity Commission The CC require our financial information to be presented in a different format to that shown on the attached sheets. They do not recognise our separation of Charity and Admin monies. The actual figures are exactly the same, just presented differently. If you have any questions or need clarification on anything, just ask Rod Niven Treasurer 02/15/2024 Page 2 of 8 Notes Notes Page3of8 0211512024 ## **Charity Account Year ending 30 June 2023** |**Charity Account**
