Our refreshed purpose is to ensure that people and communities across the County h8ve the opportunity to belong, contribute and thrive, so that they feel safe, valued and fulfilled. It has been a year of challenges and suGcesses. The Charity has, once again, faced some difficult economic conditions, with increases in costs. whilst some were one offs, others are ongoing. In the new financial year Ihere are further cost pressures with the increases in National Insurance rate5 from April 2025. The Charity will continue to explore new funding opportunities, efficiency improvements and other ways to SUPPOrt our beneficiaries. In Lincoln we completed two major development projects. We extended our resSdential property on Sheridan Close, now comprising 16 self-contained apartments, finished to a high standard. We also completed the refurbishment works to our new youth centre on St Giles, a fantastic facility for the young people in that community. Our thanks go to funders, donors and conlractors who helped to make these projects possible. Throughout 2024 our three existing nurseries were all inspected by Ofsted and received 'Good' ratings. We were also excited to take on a fourth nursery at Honeypot Preschool in Gainsborough which has now become embedded into our early years provision. We were pleased to welcome a number of new trustees to the Charity and say goodbye to some who have ably assisted us over time. The changes have afforded us the skills and experiences needed to change our governance arrangements. These are starting to take shape and will stand us in good stead as the Charity explores financially sustainable ways to expand our services across the County to fulfill our purpose.

LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantea) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (CONTINUED) Responslbilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Trustee5' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law} are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees detemiine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent charitablo company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltor8' responslbilitie8 for the audlt of the flnanclal 8tatements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material mi5Statement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an Auditors, Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities. including fraud, are instances Df non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detigct material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, includlng fraud is detailed below., the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity and sector in which it operates., we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, SORP 2019 (FRS 1021, Housing SORP {20191, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence., and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstalement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fra(Jd and non-compliance with laws and rggulation6. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we., performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships., tested Journal entries to identify unusual transactions., Page18
LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (CONTINUED) assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in Note 2 were indicative of potential bias,. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. reviewed Trustee meeting minutes for evidence of appropriate decision-making and management controls. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation., reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance- and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. There are inherent limitalions in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial Iransactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or .uklauditorsre onsibili les. This description forms part of our Auditors, Report. U8e of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 General infomiatlon As set out in the Trustee's Report, Lincolnshire Y.M.C.A. Limited is an incorporated registered charity in England & Wales. The principal office of the charity is Lincolnshire Ymca Ltd, St. Rumbolds Street, Lincoln, LN2 SAR. The principal objective of the charity is set out in the Trustee's report. Accountlng policie8 2.1 Basis of preparatlon of financial 8tatem8nts The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 1021 Accounting and Reporting by Charities. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Fin8ncial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. Additional disclosures required by The Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers 2018 have also been included where applicable to the housing operations of the charity. Lincolnshire Y.M.C.A. Ltd meet5 the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities {SOFA) and Consolidated Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis. The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Financial Activities in these financial statements. 2.2 Going concern The Trustees do not believe that there are any material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue. The Charity has cash reserves and the Trustees are confident that funding streams are available to the Charity. The financial stamements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. 2.3 Income All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Grants are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income recelved for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognikn'on is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Accounting policles (continued 2.4 Expendlture Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activily. Shared costs which contribute to more than one acknvity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned beeen those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated an the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities event8 and non-charitable trading. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure 15 inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.6 Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is nomially upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 2.6 Intanglble a888ts and amortlsation Intangible assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at Cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impaimient 1055es. Amortisalion is provided on intanglble assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful lffe. Amortisation is provided on the following basis: Website Development 33 % straight line Page 25

LTD (A Company Limlted by Guarant88) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Accountlng policies (continued) 2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciatlon Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cosL Afler recognition, under the revaluation model tangible fixed assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impaimient losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularlty to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting date. Fair values are determined from market-based evldence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. If there is no markel-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the tangible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, except as part of a contributing business, a Charity may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost approach. Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, with a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note. Assets in the course of construction are included at costs incurred to date. Depreciation on these assets is not charged until they are brought into use. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation 15 provided on the followlng b8SIS-. Plant and machinery 4Vo to 330/0 Straight line 2.8 Investments Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and 1055es, whether realised or unrealised. are combined and presented as 'Gainsl(Losses) on investments, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities. Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impaimient. 2.9 Stocks Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving Stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and vori8blo overheads. Page 26
LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Accounting policies (contlnued) 2.10 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 2.11 Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 2.q2 Llabilitios and provi8lon8 Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event. it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recogni5ed at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or seNices It must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounls, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific lo the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as finance cost. 2.13 Financial instruments The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.14 Penslons Lincolnshire YMCA participated in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan for employee5 of YMCAS in England, Scotland and Wales, which was closed to new members and accruals on 30 April 2007. Due to insufficient information, the plan's actuary has advised that it is not possible to separately identify the assets and liabilities relating to Lincolnshire YMCA. As described in note 26 Lincolnshire YMCA has a contractual obligation to make pension deficit payments of £25,508 per annum over the period to April 2027 (2024: £25,508 per annum), accordingly this is shown as a liability in these accounts. In addition, Lincolnshire YMCA is required to Gontribute to the operating expenses of the Pension Plan and these costs are charged to the ststement of Comprehensive Income as made. Page 27
LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (A Company Limlted by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Accounting policies (continued) 2.15 Fund accountlng General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the Specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. 2.16 Soclal Hou8ing and other capital grants The c05t of housing developments financed wholly or partly by Housing Association Grants have been revalued to their market valuation and the grant value taken to reserves. This is in accordance with The Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers 2018. Crltlcal accountlng estlmates and area8 of Judgment Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions.. Tangible fixed assets are recogni5ed at cost or valuation, less accumulated depreciation and any impairments. Depreciation takes place over the estimated useful life, down to the assessed residual value. The carrying amount of the charity's fixed assets is tested as soon as changed conditions show that a need for impairment has arisen. The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

LINCOLNSHIRE Y.M.C.A. LTD (A Company Llmited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THEYEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 202S 27. Pension commltments Lincolnshire YMCA participated in a contributory pension plan providing defined benefits based in final pensionable pay for employees of YMCAS in England, Scotland and Wales. The assets of the YMCA Pension Plan are held separately from those of Lincolnshire YMCA and at the year end these were invested in the Mercer Dynamic De-Risking Solution, 650/0 matching portfolio and 35% in the growih portfolio and Schroder (property units only). The most recent completed three-year valuation was as at 1 May 2023. The assumptions used which have the most significant effect on the results of the valuation are those relating to the assumed rates of return on assets of 4.56°/o, the increase in pensions in payment of 3.18 % (for RPI capped at 50/0 p.a.), and the average life expectancy from normal retirement age lof 65) for a current ma5e pensioner of 21.5 years, female 24.0 years, and 23.1 years for a male pensioner, female 25.7 years, retiring in 20 years lime. The results of the valuation showed that the actuarial value of the assets was £103.1m, which represented 92 % of the benefits that had accrued to members. The Pension Plan was closed to new members and future service accrual with effect from 30 April 2007. With the removal of the salary linkage for benefits all employed deferred members became deferred members as from 1 May 2011. The valuation prepared as at 1 May 2023 showed that the YMCA Pension plan had a deficit of £9.1m. Lincolnshire YMCA has been advlsed that it will need to make monthly contributions of £2,126 from 1 May 2024.
