Directors’ Report 2024/25
Sadly during the year two, long serving, members decided to retire as a result of health issues. Awards were presented acknowledging their service and commitment. Both were trustees and they have been replaced.
During the year the Corby and Districts Lions Club supported the Local, National and International Communities by authorizing the following expenditure totalling £13557.75.

The clubs funding has for the most part been raised by the following events and donations:
| Event | Amount(£) |
|---|---|
| Bonfire Night | 2203.91 |
| Christmas Events (collections, Grotto, sleigh runs) |
1128.61 |
| East Carlton Fun Day | 1070.46 |
| Easter EggTrail | 1069.45 |
| Council Grant for PSA testing | 2000.00 |
| Gift Aid | 726.67 |
In addition, the club continued to collect spectacles which are refurbished and sent overseas, as well as promoting Message in a Bottle (where individual’s medical information is kept in a container in the fridge, thereby enabling emergency services to have immediate access to these details) as well as continuing the annual senior’s tea party. One new service event was the Prostate Cancer Testing which took place in conjunction with the Graham Fulford Charitable Trust where 141 men were tested with 10 found to have potential health issues. This event was only possible due to a £2000 grant provided by Corby Town Council. It was considered to be a successful event which we hope to organise again next year.
