I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Louth & District Lions Club CIO (the Charity) for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act).

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
