Activities
The principal activities of LINCS LINKS CIO are:
Based in Lincolnshire, Lincs-Links is a charity which works with people in the community to help them find the resources that will help them to lead better lives. We aim to provide support to enable people to find exactly what they are looking for. We offer an online directory and call centre. Alternatively, our Local Connectors and Coordinators can assist them in their search for support. Public Benefit
The main activities undertaken are to further the charity’s purposes for the public benefit, and the trustees have had due regard for the Charities Commission guidance on public benefit
## Achievements and Performance
The charity has delivered advice and services principally on the East Coast of Lincolnshire, which has very high levels of deprivation. Clints have ranged over all age groups; the majority of people supported are elderly. A large proportion of interventions/support has involved helping digitally excluded people access services from both public and private sector organisations. We also try to seek out left behind and invisible people who do not present to service providers. We signpost to other agencies and have developed excellent relationships within those organisations, thereby facilitating a warm client handover.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as the trustees believe that the CIO has sufficient reserves to commence its activities. Structure, Governance and Management
The CIO was registered as a charity on 25 May 2023 and is governed by its constitution which may be viewed on the CIO’s website. Printed copies can also be supplied on request.
Recruitment of Trustees
No additional trustees have been appointed in this financial year. Further trustee appointments will be made during the next financial period.
The Trustee’s report was approved by the Trustees on 29 January 2026 and signed on their behalf by:
