REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
The information is shown on page 1 of the financial statements and forms part of this report.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims for public benefit
The objects of the charity are assisting in the alleviation of poverty and furtherance of Orthodox Jewish education in the UK and abroad. Particular emphasis is given to Dushinsky and Minchas Yitzchak institutions in Israel.
The trustees confirm that they have given due regard the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
GRANTMAKING
Grant Policy
Grants are made to charitable institutions, organisations and individuals, which accord with the objects of the charity.
The trustees are approached for donations by a variety of charitable institutions and individuals and consider all requests which they receive and make donations based on circumstances and funds available.
In general the trustees select the institutions to be supported according to their personal knowledge of work of the institution.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Income has significantly reduced (almost 27%) on the previous year. This is largely due to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic which has caused significant uncertainty for donors, additionally, the charity incurred a deficit in the previous period. Prudence was therefore exercised and the trustees reduced grantmaking by almost 40%.
Reserves policy
The trustees do not seek to maintain reserves, other than to ensure that they can continue the activities of the charity. Reserves at the year end stood at £52,332 (2020 - £3,941).
FUTURE PLANS
The charity plans to continue it's activities subject to incoming resources.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 22 December 1992.
Recruitment, induction and training
The company's three trustees meet regularly to ensure that it's objectives are met and that any risks identified and systems are put in place to protect the charity. It is not the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint new trustees. Should this situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment and training procedures.
Risk Management
The trustees actively review the major risks to which the charity is exposed and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate them.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DUSHINSKY TRUST LIMITED
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dushinsky Trust Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Association of Chartered Certified Accountants 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grants are only recognised in the accounts when paid.
Raising funds comprise the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.
Support costs are those incurred to assist the work of the charity but are not direct charitable activities.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
