We have continued our fund-raising activities with vigour and puryx)se. The fundraising income for the year was £26,727 Compared to £25.628 for the previous year. The club h&s Worked hard to ensure that we have Continued to support the local and wider community in th¢ most effective and effici¢nt way sible. This is reflected in the level of donatio% for the year which wete £20,416. compared to £29,893 in the previous year. The previous year w&s at a much higher l¢v¢l due to exce&s accumulated over th¢ COVID peri(xl when there were fewer wuests for sistanc¢). However. in the past month (July 2024) the club has committed over £2,500 to l(Kal charities. This h&9 reduced the fillM4s held in restricted reserves. The Trustees and club
have worked with the local community and local organisations to find worthy reciptents in Deed of lStanCe. IM)th physical and fjnancial. The Tee5, current reserves policy is to relain a sufficient balance of unrestricted funds in the Athninistration Account to enabl¢ it lo meet its liabilities and ensure its continuity by providing a minimum balance at all times to cover the next estimated payment of member fe¢s to Lions at District a] International level and a rew>nable level of working capital as deterniined by the Trustees. The Club has forn]ally agreed that any gift aid received as a result of their monthly subscriptions should be traferred to the designated fiuKI to be used for cbaritsble purN)ses. The balance on the unrestricted Administrative Account at the year e1 w&s £3.435. The balance of the Designated Funds Charity fund at y&qr end w&8 £63. The TnCeS, current reserves w)licy tn respect of the restricted funds held in the Charity Account is to nIntain suificient funds only to enable the Club to meet any t¢&8onable requests for donations and to retain a r¢&sonable reserve to meet future opportunities for donations having Tegard to the timing and level of anticipated future receipts whether in the current accounting year or oth¢rwisc.
