activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Devizes Lions Club raises significant funds
throughout the year from its fundraising
activities. Some of those activities raise money
for specific organisations that we consider will
benefit from a substantial contribution to their
funds. The general funds that the Club raises
through other fundraising activities are used to
provide grants to deserving causes and
individuals within Devizes and the surrounding
areas, supporting appeals from Lions’ Districts,
Multi District, Lions Clubs International and Lions
Clubs International Foundation.
The Club undertakes a number of community
service projects. Examples of such activities
include:
Sports and Arts Coaching Weekends
Devizes Lions believe the sports and the arts
should be accessible to everyone.
Every year since 1990, Devizes Lions have held
their popular Sports Coaching Weekend where
for a modest contribution, school children are
invited to try one of about 20 different sports
that they might not otherwise have the
opportunity to experience. Tuition is all
provided by qualified coaches.
This year over 250 children participated and
benefited from the experience.
Presentation Evening
Towards the end of the Lions’ year the Club
holds a presentation evening when donations
are made to about 30 organisations and
charities that operate within the Devizes area.
These are selected following a rigorous appraisal
to determine those that will benefit most from
the donations. At the same time grants are
made to those Lions’ projects in the UK and
overseas that it considers will most benefit from
our contributions. This event enables recipients

2

of our donations to publicise their charitable activities. This year a total of almost £11,000 was donated to 35 local groups. Donations to Individuals and Groups Requests are received throughout the year from local individuals, families, community groups and others that need financial or material support. Such requests are considered and grants made in accordance with our Grant Making Policy and according to the funds available. Local charities and good causes were supported by our donations totalling £22,060 including £1252.20 to provide material support to deserving individuals. Ukraine Devizes Lions made an initial grant of £1,000 to LCIF (Lions Clubs International Foundation) to assist in the provision of emergency help to refugees fleeing Ukraine. Devizes Lions were also given the opportunity to collect money to aid refugees from Ukraine at this year's Urchfont Scarecrow Festival, raising a very worthwhile £800. This money will be used to assist in the provision of emergency help to refugees fleeing Ukraine and will be overseen by Lions on the ground.

Carol Float

Each year, Devizes Lions tour the town with a float carrying a cheery Santa, lights and music. The public is able to follow Santa's route each evening in real time from our Facebook Page @devizeslions Sadly, due to Covid, the event was restricted in scope this year and we were not able to hand out sweets but children were pleased to visit the Sleigh and give Santa a wave and a big smile, and donations amounting to about £2000 were received from the public.

Golf Day

Devizes Lions and Devizes Rotary were pleased to be running their Joint Charity Golf Day again this year just as Covid lock-down restrictions were eased. The weather was kind, there were lots of teams participating and this year's event was one of the most successful ever raising almost £2500 for Devizes Lions.

Lions on the Green

A Classic Cars and Family Fun Day held on Devizes Large Green, where there were lots of

3

lovely classic cars, stalls and things for the children to enjoy. The weather was kind, the turn-out was fantastic. We think it was a great success. It raised almost £7,500 which enables Devizes Lions to continue to provide support to where it is needed most in our community and beyond. Nick’s “LeJog” Cycle Ride Originally planned for May 2020 Devizes Lion Nick Seager cycled from Land’s End to John O’Groats starting on June 2nd from Land’s End and arriving in John O’Groats on June 25th. He was mostly cycling on his own and selfsupporting because of the times in which we’re living. The planned route was 998 miles with 52,572 feet of climbing. At a short ceremony at Devizes Lions' July meeting, Past President Jerry King presented Nick Seager a Melvin Jones Fellowship award in acknowledgement of his sterling effort in raising a total of £6,400 for the Club's charity funds of which £1,833 falls in this year.

Spring Concert

Devizes Lions’ concert Rock into Spring raised over £1,000 which was donated to Wiltshire Mind, an independent charity supporting people in Wiltshire who are experiencing mental health problems or emotional distress.

Public Collections

Devizes Lions Club supports other organisations’ fundraising activities by holding collections for such organisations as Marie Curie Cancer Care, BBC Children in Need and British Legion Poppy selling. It also holds public collections to raise funds to help alleviate the effects of national and international disasters.

Message in a Bottle

Devizes Lions provide this service in Devizes and the surrounding areas by purchasing, delivering and maintaining the stock of bottles in doctors’ surgeries, libraries, pharmacies, and other suitable venues in the area.

Public Benefit Statement

Introduction

Devizes Lions Club (CIO) is part of Lions Clubs International (LCI) and adopts its Mission Statement:

“To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.”

Lions’ motto is “We Serve”.

In line with the Charitable Objects of the Club set out in its Constitution and annexed to this document (Appendix 1), Devizes Lions Club undertakes community service projects and raises money throughout the year from fund-raising activities. Following assessment in accordance with the Club’s Grant Making Policy, funds raised are distributed to benefit deserving charities, causes, organisations and individuals, mainly within Devizes and the surrounding areas, but also supporting appeals from Lions’ Districts, Multi District and Lions Clubs International. Some of the Club’s activities raise money for specific organizations or projects that we consider will benefit from a substantial contribution to their funds.

Some examples of how the Club’s activities benefit the public and address its Charitable Objects include:

Advancement of citizenship

In line with LCI’s Code of ethics to which all members subscribe (Appendix 2), the Club encourages its members to take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community.

This is achieved by organising events such as an annual Charity Concert and Arts Coaching weekend and by enabling other Clubs and Organizations to participate in Sponsored Walks and Swimathons organised by Devizes Lions.

The Club supports youth by arranging activities such as Sports Coaching and Arts Coaching weekends.

The Club benefits the community by running the May Fair and Lions on the Green classic car show and similar events that provide entertainment, raise funds and allow other organizations to promote themselves or sell their wares to benefit their own causes.

The Club tours the town with Santa’s Sleigh , providing fun and entertainment for children while raising money for the Charity.

The Club supports the social and moral welfare of the community by helping the many local groups and charities that work in these areas, throughout the year and at our annual Presentation Evening .

Promoting the Voluntary Sector

Devizes Lions work closely with other voluntary organizations, such as with Devizes Rotary at the Joint Charity Golf Day . The Club provides outlets such as the Lions May Fair and Lions on the Green where other organizations working in the voluntary sector can promote their organizations or raise money for their own causes.

The Club supports other organisations’ fundraising activities by holding public collections for such organisations as Marie Curie Cancer Care, BBC Children in Need and Royal British Legion’s

Poppy selling. It also holds public collections to raise funds to help relieve the effects of national and international disasters.

Towards the end of the Lions’ year the Club holds a Presentation Evening when donations are made to organisations and charities that operate within the Devizes area and to selected Lions’ initiatives in the UK and overseas. The beneficiaries are selected following a rigorous appraisal to determine those that will benefit most from the Club’s donations.

Promoting volunteering

The Club seeks out service-minded people to serve their community as Lions without personal reward and encourages the promotion of high ethical standards in all that they do. The Club encourages volunteers who are not Lions to serve the community by assisting with the Club’s activities.

Relief of poverty and relief of those in need

The Club works closely with the Local Authority, Children’s’ Services, other service providers, and local charities such as Devizes Food Bank, delivering material support for needy families, elderly people, young carers, refugees and people with disabilities or health problems throughout the year. Events such as the Club’s Christmas Fair raise money to help provide that support whilst providing an outlet for needy families to purchase low-priced goods that have been donated by the local community.

The advancement of health

Since its formation nearly 100 years ago LCI has focused on sight related projects. Over the years the Club has undertaken spectacle collections for onward transmission and re-use in developing countries.

The Club also supports Lions International and UK health initiatives by providing grants to benefit Libra, the Measles initiative , Brain Tumour research , Sight Savers and Water Aid. The Club provides the administration and organisation of the Message in a Bottle Service in Devizes and the surrounding areas by purchasing, delivering and maintaining the stock of bottles in doctors’ surgeries, libraries, pharmacies, and other suitable venues.

Devizes Lions have purchased and installed Public Access Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in strategic positions around our town.

The Club provides support to the Devizes MS Society, Alzheimer’s Support, Wiltshire Mind, Wiltshire Sight and has provided Diabetes testing at the May Fair .

Conservation and the Environment

The Club promotes the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment for the benefit of the public. It has worked closely with the organisers to fund the creation of a Peace Garden as part of the town’s ongoing Drews Pond Project. Where possible, furnishings and white goods that the Club donates to needy families are refurbished articles such as those obtained from KFR, a specialist charity that the Club supports.

Healthy recreation

Devizes Lions believe that sports and the arts should be accessible to everyone.

Each year since 1990, apart from 2019, the Club has held its popular Sports Coaching Weekend where about 500 local school children benefit by trying one of about 20 different sports that they might not otherwise experience with tuition provided by qualified coaches. Using a similar format, Devizes Lions also hold Arts Coaching Days where local school children are invited to try one of several artistic activities that they might not otherwise experience.

The Club organises activities such as Charity Golf Days , Sponsored Walks and Swimathons which as well as raising money, encourage sporting activity and healthy exercise.

Appendix 2

Lions Clubs International – Lions’ Code of Ethics

To Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.

To Seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.

To Remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.

Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.

To Hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.

Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labour and means.

To Aid others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy

To Be Careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
