The Club’s objectives are the advancement of citizenship and promoting volunteering, promoting the voluntary sector for the benefit of associating with local authorities in a common effort to advance education and providing the facilities in the interest of social welfare. Throughout, the year the Club have used the monies made from fundraising events and donations received to provide the funds with which to conduct its objectives. All the Club’s administrative expenses are financed from the subscriptions paid by the members and social events. Volunteers entirely conduct the work of the CIO. From time to time as appropriate, the Club works closely with other local and national organisations and Lions Clubs and with Lions Clubs International to achieve its objectives. The CIO is governed by its Constitution and by the Constitution and By-Laws of Lions Clubs International as revised from time to time. The Trustees are appointed from time to time as appropriate by the members of the Club and have responsibility to ensure that the Club operates in accordance with Charity law and the Club’s Constitution. The Club is supported by the volunteer’s services of its members and others. Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them - Make sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent - State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements: and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time. The accounts cover the successful events of the year ended 30[th] June 2024. Including Victorian Craft Market, St Georges Night, and Beer Festival. With very successful events and donations received, the total income for the Club was £41,190.05. Donations made for the year were £16,241.00 and with other expenses paid out of £9,266.66, the Club had a surplus for the year of £15,682.39. The Club is maintaining a strong financial position and can offer financial assistance when needed. Approved by the Trustees on 3[rd] March 2025 and signed on their behalf. ……………………………………… Ann K Robinson - Trustee ## **Caistor and District Lions Club (CIO)** **Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 30th June 2024** |**Charities Account**
