## **Section C  Objectives and Activities** 

The purposes of the club are (a) To create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world. (b)to promote the principles of good government and good citizenship. (c)To take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community. 

(d) To unite the members in the bonds of friendship good fellowship and mutual understanding. (e)  To provide a forum for the open discussion of all matters of public interest; provided, however, that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members. (f) To encourage service minded people to serve their community without personal financial reward and to encourage efficiency and promote high ethical standards. 

Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in relation to all activities which the club have taken part in during the year in question. 

Events we have participated in are as follows 



- 1 Duck race held in Cheddar Gorge. This event was  held on 25[th] August 2023. Proceeds amounting to £1500 were donated to the Childrens Hospice South West 

- 2 Memory Café; This was started in April and has been held every month since. The Café provides a safe and friendly environment for those with Alzheimers / Dementia. 

- 3 Collection of money donated into a wishing well in Cheddar Gorge 

- 4 Christmas raffles 

- 5 Easter egg raffles which raised just over £690 

- 6 2 jumble sales held in Cheddar Village hall 

- 7 Tree of Lights, where we receive donation in memory of a departed loved one. 8 Various collections 

- 9 Donations which we have made are listed in our annual accounts. Such donations are only made after the club members have had an opportunity to discuss the merits and vote on each 

## **Section  D Achievements and Performance** 

During the course of the year our membership varied between 17 and 18 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 set up the memory café and hope that the numbers attending continue to grow. 

## **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
