June 2021 Annual Report by President and Trustee Sandra Hambleton
An Acutely disappointing year, as it has been for so many. The pandemic has impacted heavily on our group of members who, with age considerations for many, have had to concentrate on self-isolation, rather than getting out into the community, offering support and assistance as would be our usual role. Some modest grants have been made.
Similarly, fund-raising has been almost entirely restricted to obtaining tax allowances, or our fortunate year’s membership of the Cooperative Society’s generous charity funding.

Previous year's figures are not quoted, as with so little activity due to the pandemic, there are no valid comparisons other than dues payments within the organisation, which differ little from the previous yr

Report to the Trustees of Newcastle-under-Lyme Lions Club (C.I.O.)
I have examined the above accounts for the year 2020-21 in terms of Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and in my opinion the accounting records have been kept appropriately and in good order and the final accounts agree with these records. Geoffrey Cooper Independent Examiner
