Trustees, Annual Report for the period From 1n12024 To 301612025 Charity name: Shirley Lions Club {ClO) Charity registration number. 1189811 Objectives and Activities The club raised funding through various activities throughout the year, the regular ones being the annual Shirfey Camival. a Beer Festival. a plant sale, and Chnstmas Sleigh collection. Funds raised are then used to make donations and support local and intemational humanitsrian projects decided upon by the members of Shirley Lions Club. The activities undertaken are enjoyed by the local community and other local charities and community groups are invrted to join in ath'vities to raise their profile and to supplement their own fundraising activits'es. Donations to individuals and organisations are considered on a case-by-case basis and voted upon by club members. The charity does not use Social Investrnent but instead relies on a mixture of donations, grants, fundraising fijnctions, and sponsorship In ensuring that this is successful, activities are posted on social media highlighting how funds have been spent on activits'es and donations as well as requesting support where appropriate. The members pay an annual subscnptson to cover the administrative costs of running the club with their main contn'bution coming from giving their time freely. Achievements and Perforniance Approximately 31,000 people benefitted from the club's activities, this includes local people benefitting from focmjbank donab'ons, receiving free prostate testing, and community events such as Shirley Camival, the Christmas sleigh collection, and our annual New Year paty for the elderly of Shidey. In addrtion. the club made various donatsons of over £16,000. The majorty of the donations were for local causes, but some funds were also sent via the Lion Clubs Intemational Foundab'on in support of Intemational disasters. The club continues to support the Lion5 competition for Young Ambassador of the 21st Century by identifying candidates and supporting them through the competitson process. This is a competition which recognises and rewards youngsters between the ages of 16 and 19 who have given significant service to their local community. Youngsters betrn the ages of 8-18 are encouraged and supported to become actsvely engaged in voluntary work in the local community. through the Lions Young Leaders in Service project. The club is also acttve in distributing the Lions Message in a Bottle to vulnerable people and other charities. This helps the emergency ServIS to save valuable time
in identifying an individual quickty and knowing rf they have any allergies or tske special medication. Used spectacles are collected from local opticians and other outlets on a monthly basis and tsken to the Lions national headquarters for sorb.ng and onwards distribution to nations across the world. The large increase in the number of people benefitting from our activities is due to the increased number of spectacles collected and members volunteering to assist with sorting the spectacles at our nats'onal H Q . Financial Review All activities are undertaken by members, frdmily, and friends. In this accounts'ng period this accounted for a total of 1.450 hours, all of which was on a voluntary basis. Funds reiVed from the public for a specific cause e.g. prostate tests'ng, are held as restricted funds and utilised for that purpose with any surplus being held for the following year's event Shirley Lions does not have any large regular commitments so any reduction in income means that there has to be a corresponding reduction in donations, unb'l other fijndraising activities can found. Budgets for donations are reduced ensuring that there are sts"Il funds available to cover unexpected emergency requests for support.
