Charity no: 1190917.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The Trustees present their annual report of the charity for the year ended 31 March
2022. The Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was registered on 18 August
2020 $0 this report represent the first full 12-month financial operating period. A
financial statement has been prepared and is included in this report.
Objectives and Activities
The purposes of the Trust are:
To promote for the benefit of the public the recovery, conservation, protection
and improvement of the physical and natural environment by promoting the
biological diversity of the chalk streams, blow wells and related features in
Lincolnshire focussed around the Lincolnshire Wolds, North Lincolnshire and
North East Lincolnshire,. and
To advance the education of the public in the recovery, conservation,
protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of chalk
streams, blow wells and related features
In setting our objectives and planning our activities we have given careful
consideration to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance.
The main activities during this period have been to establish the LCST as the host
body for Nothern Becks Catchment Based Approach ICaBA) as well as to secure
Water Environment Improvement Fund Catchment Partnership Grant funding to
enable the design of natural flood management interventions on the River Rase.
Achievements and Performance
Over the last 12 months, the LCST has worked to develop its own identify and
branding through the production of a new logo and supporting marketing material
together with the development of a new website..

Crucially the LCST has also established itself as the host organisation for the
Northern Becks Catchment Based Approach and has also been able to support a
graduate volunteer who has worked on branding for the Northern Becks Catchment
Partnership as well as the drafting of a new management plan.
The LCST was also able to successfully draw down a Catchment Partnership Grant
from the Environment Agency's Water Environment Improvement Fund which has
been used to employ professional contractors fo design natural flood management
interventions for the River Rase.
The LCST established initial fundraising mechanisms through Amazon Prime and Easy
Fundraising and have started to promote the LCST more widely now that Covid
restrictions have opened up public events again. Trustees attended an event in
Market Rasen in conjunction with the Lincolnshire Chalk Streams Project and
Rivercare which gave the opportunity to talk to the public about the charity and its
aims and objectives.
Financial Review
The balance of the charity accounts at the end of the period was £10,924.
The principal sources of income during the reporting period are restricted funds from
the Environment Agency with funding received to support hosting of the Northern
Becks CaBA together with a Catchment Partnership Grant from the Water
Environment Investment Fund.
Expenditure has primarily been focused on employing external consultants to
undertake feasibility work and design as well. Other costs have been incurred as a
result of setting up a new website and designing and printing publicity materials
such as logos, letterheads and pull-up banners.
For more than the first 12 months of its inception, the LCST was struggling against
the backdrop of Covid-19 which limited opportunities for public engagement and
therefore for raising awareness of the charity. This has meant that opportunities for
fundraising have been limited.
The charity currently holds £3,617 in unrestricted funds and £7,307 in restricted
funds. The Trust does not currently have a formal policy for holdi ng reserves and this
will reviewed as appropriate in line with reporting before the end of the next financial
year.
Structure. Governance and Management

The Trust ig a registered charity, number 1190917, constituted as Charitable
Incorporated Organisation ICIOI on 18 August 2020 and governed by its

areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of grant making, fundraising

Plans for the next 12 months
It is intended that a fundraising strategy wil I be developed for the charity and further
opportunities to bring in additional funding will be explored.
Additional Trustees will also be sought, with a particular focus on those with previous
experience of implementing fundraising strategies for similar organisations.
Further opportunities for partnership working will also be sought to bid for grants
and other funds. In particular, a new chalk streams fund has been developed by the
Environment Agency which the LCST is also seeking options to make use of.
