Section D Achievements and Performance
During the course of the year our membership varied between 20 and 22 volunteers. Our prime achievement was to maintain the high profile of the club within the local community although we were not able to hold some of the events that we would usually do.
We were very pleased to be able to continue to participate in a local scheme to provide I T equipment to schools and students and also refugees from Ukraine which we had collected from donators and refurbished as necessary
Section E Financial review
Cheddar Vale Lions hold 2 bank accounts. There is an admin account which holds no funds which have been collected from the public. This account is used to pay the day to day expenses of running the club and the only receipts are by way of members’ subscriptions or donations from members
The fund raising account is the account used to hold monies raised by fund raising events, for paying expenses incurred in raising such money and for paying out donations and grants to charitable causes.
We are a ‘not for profit’ organisation and if there is a surplus in any year this would always be carried over and donated the next
