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 ref￿hrnents 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.

President 2021/22

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of
Knowle and Dorridge Lions Club
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2022. whlch are set out on
pages 5 to 9.
Respectlve responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the p￿paratIOn of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under settion 144{2) of the
Charities Att 2011 (the 2011 Art) and that an Independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under secbon 145 of the 2011 Act.
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Att; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carrÉed out in accordan￿ wfch the generdl Dirertions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination indudes a review of the aca)unting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disdosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as
trustees contrming any such matters. The procedu￿$ undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audÉt and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a true and fair view. and the ￿port 15 limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examinatÈon, no matter has come to my attention:
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the reqU1￿Ments.
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Art; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2} to which, in my opinion, attention should be drdwn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reathed.
