|Summary<br>ofthe main<br>achievements<br>ofthe charity||||Witney Lions Club (CIO)were able to support a wide range of community<br>groups and individuals<br>during 2022-2023.|
|during the year||||Witney Lions awarded<br>grants directly<br>in response to requests<br>received|
|||||and ran our annual<br>Witney Lions Dream Scheme enabling<br>local groups to|
|||||apply for funding<br>to enable them to work and provide support<br>within the|
|||||community.|
|||||As well as the Dream Scheme further donations<br>helped<br>individuals<br>and|
|||||families<br>in need as well as organisations<br>supporting<br>those<br>in need<br>in the|
|||||local area. This included<br>grants to the local food bank to provide support|

|||||This year's Witney Lions Dream Scheme distributed<br>over F5000.The|
|||||Scheme was funded<br>by the money raised from our Christmas<br>collections.|
|||||These funds were pledged<br>and paid out to twelve community<br>groups and|
|||||clubs across the area we cover. These groups and clubs support a wide|
|||||range of activities and support<br>in the community<br>ranging<br>from reading|
|||||support<br>in schools, to adult, youth, the elderly and children's<br>groups.|

|||||point where they are processed<br>and recycled supporting<br>community<br>eye|
|||||clinics across the world. 10,000 pairs ofspectacles were sent for|
|||||recycling<br>by this project from our area.|
|||||In addition,<br>we support the nationally<br>recognised<br>Lions Message<br>in a|
|||||Bottle and Message<br>in a Wallet national<br>project working<br>with local groups|
|||||to distribute<br>these, thereby<br>supporting<br>this lifesaving<br>service.|
