Summary of the main activities, and achievements.
Assistance has been provided at local, national and international level to a number of organisations by providing help and guidance. Nearly £30,000 has been donated to them for the 15 months to 30[th] June 2022.
Our most successful fund raiser was, once again, our Swimarathon. The generosity of individuals participating in the event and their sponsors plus local corporate sponsors resulted in us raising nearly £13,000 from this event.
As well as the above there was a £5,000 cash collection in King’s Lynn for Ukraine and our members provided marshalling for various fun runs in the local community which raised £2,200.
Apart from the £5,000 donation to support Ukraine refugees we supported various projects and gave £3,600 to the Grace Home Orphanage in Katmandu and £3,000 to West Norfolk Carers. There were a further 25 donations ranging from £150 to £1,500 with local charities such as East Anglia Air Ambulance and Magpie Disabled Riding Centre benefitting as well as international organisations such as ShelterBox.
Whereas our donations have held up well despite COVID restrictions our charitable activities have been affected. We were able to support the local fire service and host school children at the fire station so that they could be given safety tuition. We would hope to be able to do this again next year and also re-start our mentoring at a local school.
On behalf of the trustees and members of the Rotary Club of King’s Lynn Priory we would like to thank all those who have enabled us to obtain these excellent results.
Rtn. Gerald Pepper Treasurer

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees
We report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30[th] June 2022 which are set out on pages 3 & 4.
The Charities Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is required.
It is our responsibility to examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act) and to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act) and to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Statement:
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking any explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiners Statement:
In the course of our examination no matter has come to our attention:
-
Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act) and accounts are prepared which agree with accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
-
To which, in our opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
