## **2. Trustees report for the period from 1st July 2023 to 30 th June 2024** 

The Trustees of the Lions Club of Rutland CIO present their report and accounts for the period from 1[st] July 2023 to 30[th] June 2024 

The Income and Expenditure account is showing an excess of expenditure over income amounting to £4178 for this period. 

Fund raising activities this year has included a successful Firework display (Nov 2023) and Santa’s sleigh (Dec 2023). Earnings for club funds were accrued by members and volunteers by assisting at the Covid clinics, the Rutland County Show and car park marshalling for ORFC. 

We have managed to maintain a reasonable level of grant giving during this period (although £4,000 less than last year). Our requests have included: 

assistance from local agencies for individuals and families who are in need equipment for local sports clubs Rainbows Children’s hospice EMICS (East Midlands Immediate Care Scheme) Lions Disaster Relief Fund 

The assets of the Lions Club of Rutland CIO comprise our current account bank balance along with all the other assets owned by the club.  We own a number of assets used for fundraising activities and although these are not listed in the accounts it is felt appropriate to attribute a notional value of £1 to these items. These  include  2  containers,  the  Santa  sleigh,  generators,  lights,  barbecue equipment and several other items (the replacement value is £12,000 for insurance purposes).

Treasurer
