REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF LONG STRATTON LIONS CLUB (CIO)
Registration number 1183178
FOR THE PERIOD 1 JULY 2024 – JUNE 30 2025
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have 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 umbrella of Lions Clubs International in District 105CE, through which it serves the wider community. Certain monies are forwarded to the District for onward distribution to specific Lions’ Charities; this year this included £400 to LCIF, the Lions Disaster Fund, £150 to Ukraine and £200 for eye cameras.
Our Club works very hard to raise the funds we need for our charitable work. The bulk of it is earned through our charity car park which is loaned to us on occasion by Sexty & Co Accountants and St Martin’s Trust for the Homeless for which we are more than grateful. We were able to donate £800 to St Martin’s from the proceeds. Other fund-raising projects included a Race Night, tombolas, collections at the local Co-op and Tesco at Harford Bridges, with further donations from the Co-op who had made us their special charity for the summer.
As usual, most of the money was spent locally in and around Long Stratton. Our summer outing for the Care Home is always eagerly awaited and we also contribute to Christmas festivities for both old and young, plus food vouchers for needy people and presents for the hideaways in the Women’s Shelter. We were able to help a great many children this year through donations to our Guides, Brownies and the High School, plus more a little further afield through Brave Futures and our ongoing support of Emergency Toiletry Packs to the Children’s Ward at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. Disability was also addressed through a contribution to Disability Activity Alliance and a large contribution to the cost of a hoist for a badly disabled small boy. Although Social Services provided this at his home, he was often cared for by grandparents who could no longer lift him.
Although expenditure exceeded income by £750 this year, we are happy with this as we had underspent by nearly £1000 last year.
