LEICESTER LIONS CLUB (CIO)

General charitable organisation raising and distributing monies and helping others mainly , but not exclusively, in the Leicester/Leicestershire area.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 significantly lower than spending in the latest year
