STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Service to the Aged is a Company Limited by Guarantee not having a Share Capital. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (Number 1001916).

Service to the Aged's governing instruments are its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 5 February 1991.

Organisation

The day-to-day affairs of the Company are administered by a Management Committee, the Chairman of which is Mr S.J. Goldberg. The Chairman of the Admissions Committee is Mr A. M. Jacobs BEM and the Chairman of the Governance Committee is Dr D. Noimark.

The Company is governed by its Governors, who are advised on the strategic direction and policy by the Management Committee, the Chairman of which is Mr S.J. Goldberg. The Executive meets regularly and delegates the day to day operation of the organisation to a Management Committee. New members join the Management Committee at the invitation of the Executive and are chosen with a view to ensuring that it contains an appropriate balance of experience relevant to the operations of the charity. A number of other Sub-Committees operate and meet as necessary.

All Governors (Trustees) give of their time voluntarily and no benefit or expenses were paid in the year. SAGE aims to make 60% of its accommodation available at all times to persons who cannot afford to pay the full fees charged.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Organisation (Continued)

The Home is situated at 208 Golders Green Road, London NW11.

Risk Management

The Charity has assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed in particular those to the operations and finances of the Charity, and is satisfied the systems are in place to manage its exposure to those risks.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objects

SAGE is a Registered Charity (No. 1001916) and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee. Its objects and powers and other constitutional matters are set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association and provide for the relief of the aged of the Jewish community and in particular for the provision of residential accommodation and nursing home facilities for such persons. The Charity operates under the name SAGE.

Aims

We confirm that we have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the year, Sage continued to provide quality care to its residents. Upon inspection by CQC in July 2022, it was found to require improvement in the areas of safety and leadership. In respect of both, Management has agreed appropriate Action Plans with CQC to improve those specific areas.

During March 2023 Linda Goldberg, a senior nurse with almost 40 years of clinical experience, was appointed as Clinical Lead to improve individual resident care. At the beginning of April 2023, Adrian Jacobs BEM was appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Linda and Adrian are ensuring that SAGE remains one of the leading care homes in North West London, providing both residential and nursing care to the Jewish community.

During the year ended 31 March 2023, there was an average of 6 empty rooms, compared to 16 in the previous year. This is all as a result of SAGE slowly recovering from the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic. By May 2023, there were no empty rooms, and SAGE has remained full ever since, with a lengthy waiting list.

The financial results of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023 are fully reflected in the attached Financial Statements together with the Notes thereon.

During the year under review and since the Balance Sheet date admissions have been slowly increasing and over the Jewish High Holiday period the Nursing Home was full. As at 7 December 2023 all beds were occupied and have been since June 2023.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SERVICE TO THE AGED

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Service to the Aged (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

In our opinion the financial statements:

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SERVICE TO THE AGED ( continued )

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN (Continued)

However, due to the current macro-economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the higher level of uncertainty observed in the economy we cannot predict all future events or conditions. As subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the absence of reference to a material uncertainty in this auditor's report is not a guarantee that the charity will continue in operation.

OTHER INFORMATION

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION (Continued)

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 determine 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is New Burlington House, 1075 Finchley Road, London NW11 0PU.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed below.

Incoming resources

These are included in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) when:

Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is advised by the personal representative of an estate that payment will be made or property transferred imminently and the amount involved can be quantified.

Expenditure

Expenditure is charged on an accrual basis and allocated to the appropriate headings in the accounts.

The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Costs incurred in respect of the charitable activities include elements of staff costs and attributable support costs.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Support costs

Support costs are those costs which are common to all areas of the organisation. These are allocated across all areas of activity on the basis of the number of service users for each activity.

Governance costs

Governance costs are associated with the governance arrangements of the charity and relate to the general running of the charity. These costs include audit, legal advice for Trustees and costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements such as the cost of Trustee meetings and the preparation of the statutory accounts.

Resources Expended and the Basis of Apportioning Costs

Expenditure is included in the statement of financial activities when incurred and includes any attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Resources expended comprise the following:

The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities and any support costs have been apportioned between the above categories as described in Note 9.

Operating lease agreements

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Fixed assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

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:

Freehold property (buildings only) - 2% Straight line
Furniture, fixtures and fittings - 20%
Equipment - 20%
Motor vehicles - 25%

Repairs and Replacements

The costs of repairs and replacements of buildings, equipment and furniture, fixtures and fittings and Uniforms are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account. Costs which, in the opinion of the Governors, represent an improvement to or upgrading of existing fixed assets are capitalised.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Building Project Fund

Donations received towards the capital projects being undertaken by the Charity are credited to a Building Project Fund.

Property Held for use by Charity

Property held for charitable use is stated at cost.

The Trustees are of the opinion that the Open Market Value of the property is at least equal to the amount at which it is included in the Financial Statements.

Listed Investments

Share-holdings acquired or donated are included at Market Value at the date of acquisition.

Fund Accounting

The general fund comprises those monies which may be used towards meeting the charitable objectives of the Charity and which may be applied at the discretion of the Trustees.

The designated funds are monies or assets set aside out of general funds and designated for specific purposes by the Trustees.

The restricted funds are monies raised for, and their use restricted to, a specific purpose, or donations subject to donor imposed conditions.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model.

Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.

Government grants ( Continued )

Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.

Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performancerelated conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each trustee in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
