Truste￿ Report- Fundralslng and Communlty Service activitles
In 2023, 1 was very proud and honoured to take over the presidency of Lions Club of
Winslow.
The club had weathered and come through the dfficutties of the Covid years and retumed to
its full range of activities. During my time I was fortunate to induct two new members to the
club wrth one of my first acts as President to join our first female member Zoe Bradford and
one of my last acts to induct Alan Hodgetts.
During my year, the club donated to a wide range of causes and organisations. Local ones
such as Treehouse Playgroup and the Winslow C o E school for equipment and we
continued to support our local food banks as well as keeping our commitrnent for three year
funding for Young carers based in Buckingham. We also donatad to regional organisations
including Bucks MirKI and Action for Youth.
I would like to thank the club for supporting my chosen charity of BURPS, a neo natal charity
based at Stoke Mandeville Hospital and now currently chaired by my daughter, Nikki Dean.
l am pleased to say that five sleep apnoea monttors have now been purchased with the
£5,000 donated by the club and are in use helping to save lives of seriously ill premature
babies. The club has also responded to intemational disaster appeals as they arise.
The year also had its series of challenges. My thanks to Colin for his work on Data
Protection - something I know he particularty enjoyed. DBS reared rts head during the year
with District trying to get clubs to have all members so checked. On balance the club
decided not to go down this route.
Possibly the bi99est chalknge facing the club was that of Insuran￿ cover following tha
realisation that the insurance provided by District was inadequate to say the least and left
250312 Annual Report.dtyx

both the club and its members exposed lo potential daims. This required extensive
research, and liaison to ensure that we were protected from civil and criminal litigation
should an incident occur at any of our events. The added costs of this insurance brought
into question the value of continuing fundraising aclivrtbes. However, wrth careful
management, they were held suc￿SsfUllY throughout the year. Behind the scenes pressure
from this club and other M105A clubs eventualty resulted in a new, fairly comprehensive
insurance package being provided by the ￿ntre. There remains the need to secure written
confirmation of cover for each event with provision of all required documentation and
monitoring for any insurance gaps with the importance of a designated insurance officer for
the club becoming clear. The club, however, is now in a much stronger and secure position
than before.
Could l also thank all our Committee and Event leads for the work and efforts they undertake
for advance planning and preparats'on behind the s￿neS as well as on the day that ensure
all our events are so successful.
The club also supported our own members where ne(xsary. and here l think of our fondly
remembered friend Keilh Harvey who we unfortunatety lost last year. My thanks to Andy
Crossey who c(Fordinated transport assistsnce and ongoing welfare contact during that
period.
I was pleased to pass over io our current president Daniel Bradford who is doing a sterling
job in the role and doing his best to keep our meetings shorter. Good luck in that Daniel.
