ACHEIVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
We are pleased to report that we have had another good year and the Trust has made a surplus of £29,719 this year despite difficult operating conditions. Training and education remain paramount and the Personal Community Development Learning funding via Lincolnshire County Council has enabled the Trust to offer life skills this year such as food and nutrition, budgeting, first aid, introduction to sign language and communication skills courses to name a few. We will continue to manage our performance and consider any risk factors in the future.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND STRATEGY
We will continue to work very closely with Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation NHS Trust to ensure we deliver quality day services, training, and education to the people of Lincolnshire.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
At the year end the Charitable Company held the following reserves: -
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| £ | £ | |
| RestrictedFunds | 127,942 | 131,518 |
| DesignatedFunds | 220,000 | - |
| Unrestricted Funds | 120,163 | 306,868 |
| 468,105 | 438,386 |
RESERVES POLICY
The reserves need to be sufficient to provide funds should one of the funding streams cease. Given the current climate this has been assessed to be a minimum of twelve months total spend to provide time to redirect resources or in extreme circumstances to withdraw the services provided. The Trustees continue to work hard to achieve this level. Our reserves have slightly increased, and we continue to maintain our target of £400,000. This value has been calculated to allow us twelve months for the closure of the Trust if this were ever required, which would cover staff salaries and redundancy payments as well as disposal of assets. We have now put into place a maintenance and improvements schedule for the upkeep of the building and equipment with reserves being designated accordingly.
INVESTMENT POLICY
All investments undertaken on behalf of the Trust are without risk and provide instant access, as funding is required.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-
e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

e state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Lincoln Pelican Trust Ltd (‘the Company’)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31% March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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 Company’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 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 Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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 accounts 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.

The Fund Raising Training activities are performed to generate additional income for the Charitable Company. These activities utilise the existing resources and hence the income is used to absorb the overhead costs of the Charitable Company. As such the associated costs are allocated equal to the value of the income. Support costs are allocated above on the basis of resources utilised.
