Fordeve Limited Company No. 02557943 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 5 April 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 05 April 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The objects of the charity are to advance religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish Faith and to support other charitable activities as are recognised under English Law.
Each year the trustees review their objectives and activities to ensure that they continue to reflect the trustees' aims. In carrying out their review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance, with focused regard towards the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish Faith and all its facets for the public benefit.
Plans for future periods
The trustees plan for the charity to continue its charitable activities in the similar means to previous years.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
Risk Management
The trustees have carried out a review of the risks under which the charity operates and have put into place measures to reduce the risk of financial or other loss to the charity.
The principal risks identified are:
-
The reduction in grants received in the recent past coupled with investments that may not produce the level of income required by the charity may lead to a decline in charitable causes that the charity may be able to support in the future. The charity manages this risk by assessing current and anticipated levels of funds available and issued grants according to these factors.
-
The identification of investment means to maximise the income derived by the charity for the minimum level of risk. This risk has been managed by placing the bulk of the charity's funds on deposit with a main clearing bank.
Achievements against objectives
The charity has achieved its objectives during the year by supporting charitable causes and by maximising income from its available resources with the minimum of risk.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The charity enhanced its overall asset position by maximising the income from available resources.
In the year to 5 April 2025, incoming resources amounted to £174,340 and resources expended amounted to £150,943.
The trustees are satisfied with the financial performance of the charity during the year under review.
Reserves Policy
At 5 April 2025, the charity had a total unrestricted fund surplus of £283,864.
The trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have concluded that the general surplus is sufficient to achieve its objectives.

Fordeve Limited Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Fordeve Limited For The Year Ended 5 April 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 5 April 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity 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
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.

Fordeve Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 5 April 2025
1. General Information
Fordeve Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 02557943 and registered charity number 1011612. The registered office is Hallswelle House, 1 Hallswelle Road, LONDON, NW11 0DH.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
2.2. Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and
its amount can be measured reliably
Legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
Income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
2.3. Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
Expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
2.4. Investment Properties
All investment properties are carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided for. Changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of financial activities.

2.5. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
