The main events that we organised during the year were:

Donations to good causes were made on the recommendation of the Community Services Committee and were approved by Club members and totalled £51,975 for the year. The notes to the Accounts contain a list of charitable donations made by the Club.
The Club supported a number of local community projects including: - Helping First Days - a children's charity - by collecting unwanted school uniforms, cleaning & ironing them for other families as part of the School Days programme.
- Organising a Christmas food collection for elderly and families in need
- Supporting the ME2 Club at some of their activities including taking families to the District Funday. The charity enables young people with additional needs and disabilities to attend mainstream events.
## **Financial Report**
Wokingham Lions Club income for the year was £107,497. Expenditure was £108,105 resulting in a slight loss for the year, after making the donations to Charity.
Despite the small loss, the Balance Sheet shows a healthy reserve level of £38,917. These will enable Wokingham Lions to support our activities for the coming year.
