Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 27/07/2024 Period start date To 30/06/2025 Period end date

Charity name: Scarborough Lions Club (CIO)

Charity registration number: 1204135

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 To empower volunteers to serve their
communities, meet humanitarian needs,
encourage peace and promote international
understanding through Lions Clubs.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 We hold regular fundraising events in which
all members of the club participate.
Examples of which are our New Years Day
Dip in the sea, in which members of the
public are sponsored to swim in the North
Sea. Another example is the Santa Sleigh
that is taken around the streets of
Scarborough at Christmas time.
From these donations a wide range of
groups are helped in a variety ways.
Examples of those residents to benefit are
children and young people, the elderly,
people with disabilities, other
charities or voluntary bodies.
In addition we raise funds via the generous
donations given by general public during the
various activities held by the Club. 100% of
those donations go to Charitable Causes as
deemed by a majority vote of the whole Club
and ratified by the Trustees. Monies from
charitable donations are never used for the
“running” of the Club, all members are
volunteers and pay a yearly subscription for
that use.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 As Trustees we have regard of public benefit
by:

Integrating public benefit into
decision-making

Regularly assess the effectiveness of
charity programs and services.

Trustees do not receive benefits from
the charity in any shape or form.

We as Trustees seek guidance from
experts, such as the Charity
Commission and Lions Clubs

Headquarters to ensure we are meeting our public benefit obligations and staying up-to-date with best practices.

Policy on grant making Para 1.38 Scarborough Lions Club will always
purchase a requested item and will never
give money direct to an individual or

project involving other Lions Clubs or known
Organisations fund raising for a joint project.
Policy on social investment
including program related
investment		 Para 1.38 As a part of the largest service organisation
in the world, Scarborough Lions Club exists
to help those in need.
Whether the need is local, national or
international, Lions act on the need, either
as an individual Club, joining with other
Clubs to support a local or national need or
internationally to assist those Clubs that are
within the vicinity of a major disaster, all
directed by Lions International Foundation.
Contribution made by
volunteers		 Para 1.38 The contribution made by the clubs
members is fundamental and pivotal.
Without the considerable committent in and
energy given by our volunteers the club
