Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity				Witney Lions Club (CIO)were able to support a wide range of community groups and individuals during 2022-2023.
during the year				Witney Lions awarded grants directly in response to requests received
				and ran our annual Witney Lions Dream Scheme enabling local groups to
				apply for funding to enable them to work and provide support within the
				community.
				As well as the Dream Scheme further donations helped individuals and
				families in need as well as organisations supporting those in need in the
				local area. This included grants to the local food bank to provide support
				to those most in need in our community.
				Support for international appeals. F250
				This year's Witney Lions Dream Scheme distributed over F5000.The
				Scheme was funded by the money raised from our Christmas collections.
				These funds were pledged and paid out to twelve community groups and
				clubs across the area we cover. These groups and clubs support a wide
				range of activities and support in the community ranging from reading
				support in schools, to adult, youth, the elderly and children's groups.
				As part ofthe Lions Clubs International British Isles Projects and in
				collaboration with local opticians we have set up spectacle recycling bins.
				The used spectacles are collected and taken to a UK central collection
				point where they are processed and recycled supporting community eye
				clinics across the world. 10,000 pairs ofspectacles were sent for
				recycling by this project from our area.
				In addition, we support the nationally recognised Lions Message in a
				Bottle and Message in a Wallet national project working with local groups
				to distribute these, thereby supporting this lifesaving service.
