- Hlstory. objectives and activities of the Charity. The Club is a member of the Intemational Association of Lions Clubs. The club was originally established in 1982 and was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 17 December 2018. The club's objedives are exclusively charitabte induding: to advance citizenship to promote the voluntary Sector for public ben8fft. to empower volunteers to serve their communities, the relief of poverty and to meet humanitarian needs, the advancement of health, to promote for the benefit of the public the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment, to promote community participation in healthy recreation. The Lions Club of Winslow raises funds each year to enable it to provide grants to deserving causes within the Winslow and Buckingham area, nationally and overseas via the Lions Clubs Inlemational Foundation. It also supports and puts on events to benefft and see the local community. Grants are made in accordance with the Club's Grant Making Policy. Since registration as a CIO, the Trustees have paid regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in dealing with the objectives and activities of the club. The dub relies on the surpluses generaled from fundraising events and. on occasions, donations from the public, to provide the funds with which to corKJuct its obj'eth'ves.

of the Club are met from donations paid by its members. There has been no change to these policies during the reporting penod The work of the CIO is conducted 8ntirely by volunteers. From time to time as appropriate, the Club works closely with other local and national agencies. other Lions Clubs aThJ Lions Clubs Intemational to achieve its objectives. 4.

All business of the club is rattfied or otherwise by members in general meetings held once a month. The Club is ably supported by th8 volunteer seNices of its members and others. 5. Trustees Report - Fundralslng and C¢Jmmunlty Servlce actlvltlas In 2024,1 was honoured to start my first year as PSident of Lions Club of Winslow. The year started with the sad loss of our good friend Lion Keith Harvey in early July. I had the privilege of inducting Sarah Capel as our second female member a month later. Across the year the club donated funds to a varied range of organisations and causes. International appeals from LCI for disaster relief and the Ukraine Ovens project were supported along with donations to LIBRA and LCI general funds. At a national level we donated to Retina UK, MD105 Youth Exchange and gave our ts'me to collect money in Buckingham for Marie Curie. We also supported our fellow Lions in Letchworth and Baldock with their Child Vision project. Our North Bucks Bike Ride generated such a substantial profit that we were able to make donations totalling £5,500 to local charities and organisations: Medical Detection Dogs, Furzedown School, Quainton Windmill, Quainton Railway Society and Thames Valley Air Ambulance. Locally, we also supported the Food Banks in Winslow and Buckingham We continued to maintain and check the defibrillator that we installed many years ago at the Fire Station on the High Street, covering the necessary costs from our Charity funds. Andy Crossey has continued his work with South Central Ambulan servi Charity supplying them wtth more Message In A Bottle containers and distributing more Bottles through other local groups. The final donation I wish to highlight is the contribution made by the Club to Buckingham School's Harvey House project. A fantastic facility which was kindly named in honour of our late friend Keith Harvey. It was an honour to attend the opening of this facility and hear aboLrt the drfferen this makes for the students. 260311 Annual Report.doG4
Insuran for our various fundraising events continued to provide challenges. l am incredibly thankful that Robin continued to carefully check Insuran policies, implementing additional cover where needed to ensure that our events were always sufficiently covered against any potents'al claims. I would also like to thank the Fundraising Event organisers for working with Robin to ensure that the costs were covered when additi'onal Insuran cover was required. All our major fundraising events still made surpluses. despite the increased costs. I would like to thank everyone who organised any of our events, be that fundraising, social or a service to the community as well as our TruStS and Directors. The hard work, and some late nights in advance, meant that we delivered some fantastic events across the year. As ever, supported our own members just as much as we support the wider community. I still cannot believe how brilliantly the Club responded when our dear friend, and Charter President, Tony Morley and his wife Pat needed wr support later in the Lionistic year. The Trustees and Directors met regularly, discussed a variety of topics (especially insurance) and provided guidance to the Club so that the members could continue to take the final decisions. Our governan continues to be strong as are our financial controls. As our Treasurer will report. surpluses were generated on both the Administration and Charity Accounts reversing the overall deficrt in 2023-24. One of my goals for the year was to redu the meeting times to gpie more time for socialising after business meetings. A 'pre-read' was introduced in a bid to speed up the meetings without cutting out necessary discussions. thank you, Zoè, for collating these. I was successful to an extent, one meets'ng being a mere 43 minutes, but there is still room for improvement. To continue this theme. the is just one more thing to say befo I end. Given how smoothly the first year had gone. with the support and encouragement of the members, I decided I would stay on for a second year as President. The next instalment will be provided at the 2027 AGM. 260311 Annual R8POrtthxx
