OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal objectives of the charity are:
i. To advance Orthodox Jewish education;
ii. To advance the religion of the Jewish faith in accordance with Orthodox practice;
iii. The relief of poverty;
iv. Such other purposes as are recognized by the law of England and Wales as charitable.
The Trust deed governs the trustees' powers. Grants are made at the discretion of the trustees and in accordance with the principal objectives of the charity. The charity is not limited to making payments to organizations or institutions.
Public Benefit
The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the charity has continued to provide support to various causes worldwide, in keeping with its principal objectives.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The result of all the activities during the year is shown in the Financial Statements. The trustees consider that the performance of the charity in the year has been satisfactory and that the present level of funding is adequate to support the objects of the charity into the foreseeable future. There have been no changes in the activities or strategy of the charity.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months' expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
The charity's principal sources of funding are donations.
The Trust Deed permits the charity's funds to be invested in securities or properties of any kind in furtherance of the charity's objectives.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The trustees note the results for the year and do not anticipate any significant changes to the general income in the forthcoming year.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

J & R MARGULIES CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 2015).
The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 set out on pages 7 to 10.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE) (effective January
2015). In preparing the accounts, the charity follows best practice as laid down in the Statement
of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (SORP) issued in March 2005. Where there is a conflict between the FRSSE and the SORP, the SORP has been adopted in
accordance with paragraph 419ff of the SORP.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and legacies and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or Deeds of Covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of charitable activities. Property management costs relate to costs incurred on the investment properties and are costs attributable to generating funds. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made.
Foreign currency translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
Fund account
General funds are restricted 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.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
