REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF LONG STRATTON LIONS CLUB (CIO)
Registration number 1183178
– FOR THE PERIOD 1 JULY 2021 JUNE 30 2022
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.
The public benefit of the Charity is the support and enablement of children, young people, the elderly, those with disabilities, and all mankind; this is achieved principally by the award and monitoring of grants.
Long Stratton Lions Club (CIO) is an independent local charity operating under the aegis of Lions Clubs International in District 105CE, which comprises Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Essex, through which it serves the wider community. Certain monies are forwarded to District 105CE for onward distribution. These include £200 to LCIF’s disaster fund, £200 to the Brain Tumour Appeal, and £40 to Youth Projects. The rest was spent in, or close to Long Stratton itself.
Our main source of fundraising is by manning a charity carpark in Norwich when Norwich City FC play at home and extra carparking is needed. In this period £3255 was raised. Other fundraising included collecting at our local Co-op at Christmas and various tombolas. We were again fortunate to win one of the £200 prizes for completing a group litter pick for South Norfolk Council.
It was a cause for joy when this year we were again able to take a coachload of elderly residents of the local Care Home and their carers on an outing with a good lunch. This was our largest single expenditure of the year but well worth the money as for some residents this is the only time in the year they get to go on a trip and they really appreciate it. Other awards in Long Stratton include a donation towards a new Church notice board, paying the rent for a self-help social group, providing Christmas hampers to needy people, paying for a children’s entertainer and sponsoring a girl scout to attend the World Jubilee in 2023.
Slightly further afield, we again gave Christmas presents to the residents in the local women’s shelter, donated money to the Clare School for disabled children, and continued to supply emergency wash bags to the Children’s Ward at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital. We also knitted blankets for new mothers and babies in the Maternity Ward.
