Members guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 March 2024 was 10.
Appointment of Directors
Applications to become a director were received, typically in response to advertising or through existing contacts. Prospective directors were then interviewed by at least one director. Successful candidates were presented to a Directors' Meeting that decided whether or not to appoint. All directors are Members of the company.

They have been given a tour around the premises and introduced to key staff. In addition training has been provided by regional and national Citizens Advice training organisations.
Organisation
The Board of Directors have met quarterly and administer the charity. Whilst they have been responsible for the strategic direction of the charity, the Chief Officer has been responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
Risk Management
The Charity has continued to work under the supervising and monitoring umbrella of the National Association of Citizens Advice, and has operated a well-defined Risk Management process.
The Directors have been responsible for ensuring that all risks are identified, assessed and managed in a dynamic manner and that the systems of internal control are robust and relevant, are applied rigorously and reported regularly. The object of the risk policy has been to limit the exposure of the Company's business, and the assets for which it is responsible, financial, operational and other risks and to ensure business continuity. The Risk Register has been reviewed as part of the normal business process by risk owners, on a quarterly basis through the full Board of Directors.
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity have been to:
Provide advice services to individuals resident in the South Holland and South Kesteven areas under the auspices of Citizens Advice.
Promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in South Holland and South Kesteven by the advancement of education, the protection and preservation of health and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress.
Public benefit
The directors confirm that they have referred to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. This is evidenced by the sections of this report showing that all services provided by the charity have been available to the public and designed to assist and benefit those members of the public who seek advice.
Achievements and performance
In 2023/24 Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire helped 13,204 (2023 11,621) clients and supported them with 48,565 (2023 37,543) new issues.

Financial review
Funding
Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire has been funded largely by way of grants, commissioned services and donations. The directors are grateful to all contributors.
This year, grant funding has been received from South Holland District Council ("SHDC"), South Kesteven District Council ("SKDC") and Lincolnshire County Council ("LCC") to provide the generalist advice service.
The provision of funding from the East Midlands Money Advice Service (managed by the Community Advice and Law Service) together with SKDC and SHDC for money advice has allowed for a continuation of the debt work that has been provided for the community.
Holbeach United Charity has provided funding for the most vunerable members of the Holbeach community within their own homes providing advice and support regarding welfare benefits.
Migrant workers in Lincolnshire have been supported by the Home Office via the EUSS scheme and the Flex scheme (Focus on Labour Exploitation) during the year, although these activities have now ceased, but the Ukraine Settlement Grant, funded by Lincolnshire County Council, continues to support Ukrainian citizens.
Bourne United Charities, Bourne Town Council and Len Pick Trust provided funding to deliver a service for the community of Bourne.
We are grateful to Worth Waynflete Foundation, Spalding Town Husbands Charity and Citizens Advice for donations to help meet the needs of people during the cost-of-living crisis.
Staff continue to provide help and support for people struggling to afford the basics, funded through the partnership of Citizens Advice and Trussell Trust's Help Through Hardship helpline.
We have had funding from NHS Lincolnshire to cope with Winter Pressures, Shine Lincolnshire to provide advice in partnership with Mindspace, Stamford, Trussel Trust for Stamford foodbank and funding from Ctizens Advice to help increase our remote service capacity and help people in fuel poverty.
New funding has been secured this year from Independent Age to improve the lives of older people facing hardship, and from Stamford Foodbank to work together in partnership to offer financial advice for foodbank customers facing hardship.
Management and other issues
The core funding accounts for 25.4% of the total income but, because of this strong base, the company has managed to lever in 74.6% from other sources over the year, enabling it to provide specialist benefit and debt advice, home visits, and to provide support to migrant workers.
Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire (CASL) is a member of Citizens Advice Lincolnshire (CAL), a consortium of Citizens Advice companies which work collaboratively to improve and enhance advice services across the county.
Investment Policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the Board of Directors sees fit.

The restricted reserves have been evaluated, and £17,081 has been provided as at 31-3-24 (2023 £15,748)

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees
For the year ended 31st March 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire ('the charity') for the year ended 31st March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the money, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
- Tenant's Improvements 20% straight line - Office Equipment 33% straight line - Computer Equipment 33% straight line
