DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2016).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objects of the charity, principal activities and organisation of our work

The objects of the charitable company are to work primarily in the historic county of Lincolnshire within the churches and local community to advance the Christian faith and education among young people by the provision of Christian Youth Mission and Ministry.

Significant activities

The services provided by the charity are:

RoadhoG North – this project is in the process of forming a management team and hopes to have a bus out on the road in and around Lincoln in the next six months.

RoadhoG South – currently operates in 9 areas in and around Boston.

Public benefit

In considering the activities of the charity, the trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. In particular, the trustees consider how specific projects will contribute to delivering and furthering the impact of Lincolnshire Youth Mission’s charitable objectives.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable Activities

During the year in question, RoadHoG South has visited 9 stops every fortnight in and around Boston, engaging with between 10 and 25 young people per stop. The new bus has been very successfully customised following our young customers and teams advice and is working well.

It is still proposed to use the further bus in Lincoln once the bus is fitted out and a team is in place and trained to use it. The charity continues to employ a schools worker who visits a number of primary and secondary schools in Boston, focussing mainly on supporting the transition from primary to secondary school.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the financial year the charity received income of £124,267 (2023 £107,502). The charity made a surplus during the year of £50,795 compared to a surplus of £64,938 in the prior year.

Reserves policy

The trustees have made a decision to hold reserves at least equal to the amount needed to close down the projects should the need arise in the future.

At 31 March 2024 total reserves were £146,789, all of which were unrestricted.

Going concern

Based on the current level of reserves and projected figures, we believe the charity is in a position to continue operations for at least 12 months from the date of signing our report.

DIRECTORS' AND TRUSTEES' REPORT CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, memorandum and articles of association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The charity understands the importance of recruiting appropriate persons as Trustees. The skills, qualifications and experience of new trustees are considered to ensure they will benefit the charity. All directors of the company are also trustees of the charity, and there are no other trustees. The board has the power to appoint additional trustees as it considers fit to do so.

Risk management

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, they believe the charity could provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.“
