Knowle & Dorridge Lions Club Report and accounts for year ended 30 June 2022 Report of the President As a Lions Club we continue to do our best to serve our community as we have done since our formation in 1976. Our membership numbers are steady and our membership now stands at 16. We are supported by a large number of people who help on the day of our usual events but we are always happy to have more mernbers. After a few more months of restrtctions we were able to restart our regular programme of fund raising activities with the Festive Walk in December and the Fun Run in May both after a two year absence. We were also able to restart having physical meetings of the club on our regular night of the third Monday of the month in the Greswolde Arms Hotel. We are very grateful to the Greswolde for hosting our members. meetings over many years. We have endeavoured to keep the communty aware of our Lions Club throughout the year with our limited activities and a presence on social media. We hope that some of those taking part in events during the year will consider joining us to help us with our fund raising and community work. We continue to support the local comrnunity with our regular litter picks where we clear areas in and around Knowle & Dorridge. We have also supported young people with their Duke of Edinburgh Award by loaning equipment so they can litter pick weekly over several month5 towards their award. Fund Ralsing This year stsrted in July 2021 with some restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic still in place and these eased in December to allow us to run our Festive Walk from its new location of Dorridge Village hall. This was well supported and I would like to thank Dorridge Village Hall, Ye Olde Knowle Bowls Club and the Cricket Club who opened to provide some refhrnents and additional car parking. Having cancelled our gUlar Easter Egg Raffle at the Black Boy for two years this was back this year and we were able to raise some much needed fiJnds and make a donation of £600 to Age UK Solihull from the proceeds. This was supported by sponsorship from Standley & Co so that all the money collected went to our charitable causes. We also peated our Easter Trail to help keep the community active and there were plenty of families who took part. Early in 2022 we were free of all restrtrtions so the Knowle Fun Run was back on 15 May but with a lower number of participants. We allowed entries on the day and this proved so popular that the start was delayed by a few minutes to enable detai15 of all those registering to be loaded onto the timing system before the stsrt. Our local MP Saqib Bhatti was able to start both the KIDSrun and main run and also award the prizes to all the winners. We are grdteful to all the local businesses, particularty Hunters our main sponsor, and all those who took advertising in our programme and sponsored particular parts of our expenses to enable as much money collerted to go to our charitable causes. We were able to give £2.000 each to Solihull Life Opportunities (SOLO) and Meningitis NOW as well as £1,000 to the Scouts for thelr Jamboree in 2023. During the year we were supported by additional income of £1,000 from a legacy and a further £1,771 from a local charity that had closed and their balan was given to our Lions Club as our charitable purposes are similar to theirs.
Knowle & Dorridge Lions Club Report and accounts for year ended 30 June 2022 In summary our fundraising was a lot better than in the previous year and we start the new year with sufficient funds to support local causes. Fund Distribution The ability to hold fvnd raising events has enabled us to support a number of worthwhile activities. For the second year the amount we have raised has limited our ability to make grants and donations to local causes but at the same time the demands on our OUrCeS has also reduced so we end the year with funds available to be distributed in the next Lions year. We were also able to hold the annual tea Party at the Knowle Royal British Legion in October 2021 where over 100 guests were entertained and given afternoon tea. We canvassed our regular guests and over 90% were supportive of holding the tea party despite some continued worry over Covid. Unfortunately we were not able to run our coach trip which had to be cancelled for the second year running but we are back with this again in 2022. In October we held our first ever B93 Charity Ball which was supported by a number of local businesses who took tables and supported the evening with our rdffles and this added nearly £1,700 to our funds. It was a great evening and everyone present enjoyed the meal and dancing afterwards. This is being repeated again on 8 October and tickets are already being booked. We also supplied two memorial benches at the junction of Slater Road and Widney Road in Bentley Heath for locals to sit and rest. Our regular Youth Travel Bursary was back and we provided financial support to three young people. In addition we supported the Challenge Adventure Group with a donation of £1.205 to enable them to provide necessary training to their volunteers. In total we have been able to distribute over £18,000 during the year. Social The continued StriCtIonS for much of the year ha5 limited our social activities but we were able to go out for a meal and our litter picking also became a social activity where we support the community and chatted to other members and volunteers. The way ahead We are always here to serve so if you know where help may be needed or some cause that would benefit from our help financially then please get in contact through our new and improved website. The changes to our website were long overdue and a few of our members including a new member have been working on the development of the new site which is now up and running. One new benefit Is that it displays equally well on phones and tablets which is what most visitors use when they access our website. Finally I wish to thank all my fellow Lions for the tremendous support I have received. I have enjoyed my tem as President even with all the restrictions and I am pleased to be able to pa5S the baton onto Stuart Davis who becomes President for 2022123. 1 wish him well in his role. Adrian Harris President 2021/22
