Trustees report for the period from 1st July 2024 to 30 th June 2025** The Trustees of the Lions Club of Rutland CIO present their report and accounts for the period from 1[st] July 2024 to 30[th] June 2025 The Income and Expenditure account is showing an excess of income over expenditure amounting to £1,351 for this period. Fund raising activities this year has included a successful Firework display (Nov 2024) and Santa’s sleigh (Dec 2024). Earnings for club funds were accrued by members and volunteers for assisting at the Covid clinics, the Rutland County Show and Litter picking for Oakham RFC. We have managed a reasonable level of grant giving during this period with 23 individual donations made, but disappointingly it was less than half of last year’s monetary value – something we need to review in the coming year. Our requests have included: Assistance to local groups eg Guides, Rutland Youth Choir Equipment for local sports clubs EMICS Pepper’s a Safe Place 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 £13,000 for insurance purposes). Diane Webb Treasurer 3 **3.
