REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 30 June 2022
CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES
Leicester Lions Club was formed in 1952 as an unincorporated society,
On 20th September 2019 it registered with the Charity Commission and converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
It is a member of Lions Clubs International whose objectives are:
To create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world; To promote the principles of good government and good citizenship; To take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community; To unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding;
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.
To encourage service-minded people to serve their community without personal financial reward, and to encourage efficiency and promote high ethical standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavours.
ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR
The trustees and members meet approximately twelve times a year to arrange fund raising events, manage projects and make grants from the club's funds.
During the year, due to Covid limitations the Club raised only £425 for charitable purposes and made charitable donations of £5,643.
In the year to 30 June 2020 the Club received a donation of £28,403 from Leicester Lions Limited, a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. Formed by members of the Club in 1963 to provide social housing, in recent years the company had been an investment vehicle and in effect the "charitable" arm of Leicester Lions Club. With the Club achieving charitable status itself, Leicester Lions Limited became superfluous and its members decided to donate all its remaining funds to Leicester Lions CIO prior to dissolution. It is anticipated that the majority of this donation will be will be expended over a three year period.
Otherwise, the policy of the Trustees is not to accumulate reserves but to maintain sufficient cash to meet the immediate requirements of the Club.
