YEOVIL LIONS CLUB (CIO) 

The Yeovil Lions organise annual localised events to raise funds for local and national purposes, such as the annual Beer Festival, Fire Works Display and a biannual Charity Ball.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity raises funds from the public but is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Authorised officials of this charity can add information to this page (including a Donate Now button) for no cost
