Lindap ( Registered Charity 1156638)
Reports and accounts for the year to 31st December 2024
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 is 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 with some but not all having 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 client’s 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.
Membership
Again this year one member left after many years of service one member joined.
Achievements.
We completed 75 jobs this year,8 carried over from 2023 and 5 carried forward to 2025 so 78 completed in all. This is slightly less than the 82 done last year.
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. Our new member however is able to cover the south-west of our region.
We have a process for presentations to facilitate recruitment. This will not be a quick process as each individual needs training and mentoring. This year we continued an active publicity programme with presentations to interested groups
Governance
The trustees who served throughout 2024 are all active or past volunteers for Lindap and most of 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 21st 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.
Finance
Lindap depends entirely on donations to find its work. The main costs are for materials for the projects, travel expenses and insurance.
The accounts attached below show a deficit of £825.09 for the year to 31/12/24. 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 slightly exceed this target, so we have limited active fundraising recently.
