LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL NORDIC COMMUNITY
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Achievements and performance
The LINC charity company has continued to shown an improvement from last yearfs performance. Income was
up to pre-pandemic level, and expenditure was only slightly higher than last year. This was following a board
decision to continue to minimise expenditure, but to do all that was required in terms of repairs and maintenance
other than the major work on restoration of the building. LINC Charity Company remains in a good financial
position. The policy decisions on significant Financial Contingency levels taken by the LINC Board several
years ago continues to be a significant help in our financial situation.
We are very pleased that Cinna Hughes has accepted the position as a new Director of the LINC Company. There
will shortly be Iwo further people appointed next year.
Activities
All our usual activities have been in operation this year. The regular activities are religious Se￿iceS and
cultural events, with all the following contributing to income. These are coffee morningsl film nightsl handicraft
Groupl concerts and we now also hire out rooms during weekday evenings for band and choir practices, an art
class and a self-help group.
The handicraft group is now classed as a separate activity and resulted in an income of £1,680. The Christmas
bazaar is shown as lower than the previous years, because the craft sales during the event are now shown
separately. The bazaar income was £3,418. The weather was not good on the day, and we did not get as much
advertising as in previous years.
The Board thanks the relatively few volunteers and the handicraft group for their significant contributions in these
activities.
Membership
Thankfully, membership has remained steady, there are currently 120 members of Ihe LINC Company.
This has generated an income of £3.512. which is much appreciated by the LINC Board.
Building
Electrical work - the standard Fire Alarm and Emergency Light testing were carried out as required by law
for a public building. A major testing of all the electric equipment must be carried out next year and this will
inevitably need funding.
Boiler Servicing - the two boilers had the regulation testing carried out. As stated last year, the heating
boiler required new waler feed equipment.
We now have the reports on all repair work required to upgrade the building to first class condition. The work
required is very extensive and the costs of the work required are extremely high and beyond our ability to carry
out without significant grant monies. We have not yet stsrted on the search for significant grant funding or
other sources of monies. It was necessary to repair a collapsed main drain in the garden. which cost £3,834.
Also. we carried out trimming of the trees and the hedges in the car park area. which cost a further £1.740.
Gas and Electricity power supply- The current 3-year contract for the supply of power to the building is
coming to an end in the next year. We need to prepare ourselves for a large increase in the costs of
supplv.
Car Park
LINC has continued with the hiring out of the car park and been able to fill all the parking spaces throughout
the year and this gave us an income of £9.125.

LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL NORDIC COMMUNITY
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Renlal Income and Bank Interest
The income from renting out the facilities for concerts and other activities also increased with an income result of
£7,806. There was also a significant payment from bank interest of £2,358.
LINC Operations Tradlng Company
This is the part of the company which runs all the calering activities, and Ihe Bed and Breakfast. The ability to
have our rooms fully available again has resulled in a significant income. The regular coffee mornings and
refreshments served at concerts and other functions created an improved income on last year. After costs, this
resulted in a donation to LINC Company of £16,905. which is a £2.200 increase on last year.
Loss of Light Compensation from Legacie Company Development of Heaps Mill Site
The Nordic Church in Liverpool 1883 Trust Co owners of the building who have given a lease to the LINC Company
to run all activities. maintenance. insurance and all the running costs of the building have authorised the LINC Company
to carry out the negotiations regarding compensation for loss of light on the building caused by the erection of a
block of flats immediately next door across Comhill Street and called Ihe Heaps Mill Site. The negotiations have
been taking place throughout the year with the assistance of a fully qualified loss of light surveyor. No satisfactory
conclusion has yet been reached.
Financial Review and Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity that a high level of unrestricted funds, which have not been designated for a specific use,
should be maintained at a level equivalent to at least one yearfs expenditure. The trustees consider that reseNes at
this level or higher will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding. they will be able to continue the
charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Thus, this year, the annual result costs on the running of the building and activities showed an increase in funds of
£12.731, which is a significant improvement on last year. This resulted in an increase of the reseNes from £131,809
to £144,541.

LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL NORDIC COMMUNITY
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL NORDIC COMMUNITY
I report on the accounts ofthe charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees, who are also the directors of Liverpool Intemational Nordic Community for the purposes of company
law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider than an audit is not required for
this year under section 144(21 of the Charities Act 2011. the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is
needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent
examination, it is my responsibility to-
il examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act-
ill follow the procedures laid down in the general direclions given by the Charity Commission under section
14515){b} of the 2001 Act., and
iiil state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directors given by the Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kepl by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and
seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The prO￿dureS undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matter set out in the ststement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention-
al which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011,. and
ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of
Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.,

to be reached.
