CHELMSFORD LIONS CLUB (CIO)

Our policy is to give grants at the discretion of the members of Chelmsford Lions Club following investigation and recommendation of the Trustees. Whilst in general there are no restrictions on the purpose for which a grant can be given applications for capital projects and core funding are not normally considered. Applications from Chelmsford and surrounding areas are normally given priority.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently and was substantially in excess of spending in the latest year
