Our members also provid¢ )ands-on' assistance as a[￿ when we are able to do so. Publi Benefit The Charity T17￿ have complied with their duty to bave due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their wwers or duties. Achievements erf0rnW￿e In the Fmst year we retsined OUT memirrsbip numbers with a small numlKr of individuals retiring fTom the club and gaining some new members. 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 T￿￿ee5, 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 tra￿ferred to the designated fiuKI to be used for cbaritsble purN)ses. The balance on the unrestricted Administrative Account at the year e￿1 w&s £3.435. The balance of the Designated Funds Charity fund at y&qr end w&8 £63. The Tn￿CeS, current reserves w)licy tn respect of the restricted funds held in the Charity Account is to n￿Intain 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. This reserve benefited from a Gift Aid claim of £2(XKI. The balance on the Restricted Futmls Charity at year end combined w&s £12.487.
