THORNBURY LIONS CLUB CIO

The charity serves the local community, and those internationally. It works with the elderly, disable/disadvantaged and benefits the area around Thornbury, and makes grants to some national and international appeals to relieve poverty, respond to disaster relief, and to help people with disabilities e.g. loss of sight, thus extending the public benefit overseas..

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
