## **2. Trustees Report for the period from 1[st] July 2022 to 30[th] June 2023**
The Trustees of The Lions Club of Rutland CIO present their report and Accounts for the period from 1[st] July 2022 to 30[th] June 2023.
The Income and Expenditure Account is showing an excess of Expenditure over Income amounHng to £3336 for this period.
Fund-Raising acHviHes this year have included a successful Firework display in November 2022 and Santa Sleigh at Christmas 2022.Earnings for club funds were accrued by members assistance at the Rutland Show in June 2023.
We have managed to maintain a reasonable level of grant giving during the period responding to requests for assistance both in the form of grants for the specific items as listed in the Notes to the Accounts and the Community Expenditure. This laTer expenditure is a result of requests for assistance from local agencies for individuals and families who are in need and covers a wide range of expenses including donaHons to a local children’s hospice, addiHonal tents for a scout group and replacement carpets and a cooker for the needy. A donaHon was also made to the Turkish/Syrian Earthquake appeal.
The assets of the Lions club of Rutland CIO comprise our current account bank balance along with the all the other assets owned by the club. The Lions Club of Rutland own a number of assets used for Fund Raising acHviHes and although these are not listed in the Accounts it is felt appropriate to aTribute a nominal value of £1 to these items. These include two portacabins, the Santa Sleigh, generators, lights, barbecue equipment and many other items.
Expenditure which relates to membership of Lions Clubs InternaHonal, the income from members and the amount of fundraising income that has been reallocated to cover the shoreall is set out in note 10. The fundraising income that has been reallocated is from income derived from fundraising acHviHes carried out by members to earn or raise funds which are not considered to be income donated directly by the public for charitable purposes.
