Lindap (Registered Charity 1156638)
Reports and Accounts for Year to 31 December 2021
Charity Objectives and Activities
Lindap’s objective is to help people with disabilities by providing devices or equipment designed and made especially for them where nothing suitable can be provided by the NHS, Social Services or commercial sources. We operate throughout the modern county of Lincolnshire (except for the extreme south around Spalding and Stamford).
Our work is carried out entirely by volunteers, mostly retired engineers and craft people operating from their homes where some but not all have workshops. They design and make whatever will suit each individual's needs best. Much of it helps make the normal activities of daily life possible or less difficult or less painful while some help clients maintain or take up hobbies and leisure activities. As well as being functional the equipment is designed as far as possible to look good in clients' homes. All the equipment is provided free of charge.
Much of the work is requested by and done in conjunction with occupational therapists and other professionals in the NHS and Social Services who add their expertise in disability to ours in practical problem-solving. We also accept requests for help directly from the public.
Achievements and Performance
2021 was again clearly an exceptional year with the Covid-19 pandemic greatly restricting our activities. However we had 46 referrals, 42 were completed.
Membership
In 2020 our treasurer moved out of the area and is consequently no longer a member. We have not had any new members.
Plans for the future
We still believe there is substantial unmet demand for Lindap’s help and our intention is to supply a more comprehensive service throughout the County. We are limited by the small number of active volunteers. Unfortunately these are not spread homogeneously over the county and we particularly need further support in the South and East. We have a process for presentations to facilitate recruitment. This will not be a rapid process as each individual needs training and mentoring.
Again this year we have been inhibited in our publicity activity due to Covid-19. However we have a member who has taken it on and is arranging various ongoing events.
Governance
The trustees who served throughout 2021 are all active or past volunteers for Lindap, and all the active volunteers are trustees. For a small organisation this is felt to provide the most simple and democratic structure. Most operational matters are decided in regular meetings of the volunteers which are chaired by a trustee and have been authorised to take all decisions covered by the operations manual. We are a non-discriminatory organisation and take referrals from anyone in the county driven purely by need
Lindap’s constitution follows the Charity Commission's "foundation model" for CIOs and was adopted on the 21[st] March 2014. The trustees have observed the Commission's public benefit guidance in exercising their powers and duties acting in accordance with the charity’s objective.
Finances
Lindap depends entirely on donations to fund its work. The main costs are materials for the project, travel expenses and insurance. The accounts attached show a small deficit. A large part of our income again came from a generous donation from Hexadex Ltd. Lincolnshire Co-Operative Society and University of Lincoln kindly provided us with free meeting facilities.
Our reserves policy is to have sufficient funds in hand to cover one year's expenditure. At the end of the year our total funds carried forward together with donations already received in 2022 are adequate for this current year.
