Structure Governance and Mana
ement
We became a CIO on 2 December 2019 having previously operated as a
Charitable Trust. The Trustees are made up of volunteers and voted in annually,
in line with our constitution, by all club members.
Ob'ectives and Activities
We serve our local community and the wider regional, national, and
international community by running fund raising events throughout the year in
order to raise money to help clubs, charities, organisations and individuals who
need or seek our help. Our members also provide practical assistance as and
when we are asked to do so.
Public Benefit
The charity trustees have fulfilled their duty to have due regard to the guidance
on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their
powers or duties.
Achievements and Performance
In the past year we have managed to retain our membership with a sad
exception of one of our members passing away. Moreover, I am glad to be able
to report that we have some prospective members currently interested in joining

the Club. We have increased our fund-raising activities with vigour and
pu￿Ose. This is reflected in our fundraising income for the year of £31,606
compaTrd to £26,665 for the prior year. The Club has worked hard to ensure
that we have continued to supp)rt the local and wider community in the most
effective and efficient way ￿)￿gIble. The Club has also made donations to
international crisis where there is a defined need. This is reflected level of
donations for the year which were £23.998 c£)mpared to £20.416 in the previous
year. The Trustees and Club have worked with the local community and local
organisations to worthy recipients in need of assistance, IK>th physical and
financial. Indeed, the Club l)&8 been proactive in seeknng out charities that
would benefit from our supporL for ekgmple Framework Nottingh￿ a local
charity who assist homeless persons and Beaumond House, a hospice in
Newark
Financial R¢Yi¢w
The Trustees current reserves policy is to retain a sufficient balance of
unrestricted fund5 in the Administration Account to enable it to meet its
liabilities and ensure its continuity by providing a minimum balance at all times
to cover the next estimated payment of member fees to Lions at District and
Intern￿Onal level and a reasonable level of working capital as deterniined by
the Trustees. The Club has agreed that any gift aid received &8 a result of their
monthly subscriptions should be transferre4J to the (kSIgnat￿ fund to be used
for charitable pU￿oses. The Balance on the Unrestricted Administrative
Account at year end was £3,205 with both District and International member
fees (£1600) being due at the start of the next financial year (July 2025).
The balance of the Desi￿ted Funds Clwity fund at year end was £108.
The Trustees current reserves policy in respect of the restricted funds held in the
Charity Account is to Maill￿ sufficient fi￿dS only to enable the Club to meet
any reasonable requests for donations and to retain a reasonable reserve to meet
future opportunities for donations having regard to the timing and level of
anticipated ￿tUre re￿Ipts whether in the current accounting year or otherwise.
This reserve also benefited from a Gift Aid claim of £20(K). The balance on this
fiu]d at year end was £10.736 with £4,700 being committed to projects
hap￿ni￿ in the next Financial Year. The uncommitted working balance of the
Restricted Fun¢l8 Charity at year end was £6,036.

Indep¢Ddent Examiner'8 Report
tv tbt Tru¥lrts of Southwrll DiJÉrict Lion¥ Club (CIO)
I Nx)rt on the accounts of the CIO for the year ¢nded 30 June 2025.
Respective Responsibilities of TnLStecs and Examin¢r.
The tnLStees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The In￿e5 consider that an
audit is not required for this y¢ar under section 14412) of the Charities A¢t 2011 (the 2011
Act) and thRt an independent examination is needed.
It is my resw)nsibility to:
Examin¢ th¢ a¢￿Unts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act).
To follow the pro¢¢dur¢s laid down in th¢ G¢nwal Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act). and
To state whether particular matters bave come to attention.
B&$b of Independent ExamiDer's report
My examination was Carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the
Charity Comn)ission. An examination includ¢s a review of the accounting records kept by
the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented witb those records. It also includes
nsideration of any unusual it¢ms or disclosures in the accoun￿ and seeking explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the ¢vid¢n¢¢ that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the reEx)rt is litnited to those matters
set oui in th¢ stat¢merAt below.
Independent examiner's statement
In ¢onn¢¢tiott Thith my ¢Xatsiinats0￿ no mattcr kn ¢orn¢ to Dly attcntion:
. which givcs m¢ r¢&wnable cawe to believe that in any material resm of the
requirements
To keep accounting T¢¢ords in accordanc£ with section 130 of the 2011 Act. and
To prepare accounts which acwrd with the accountÉng records and con)ply with the
accounting requirernents of the 2011 Act have not been met. or
2. to whicb, in my Opinio￿ attention should k drawi in order to enable a proper
und¢￿tandIng of the accounts to be r¢a¢hed.
