The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 5 April 2021
Structure, governance and management
The constitution of The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust was established by a Trust Deed dated 13 January 1995. The Trust is registered as a charity with the Charities Commission under charity number 1045231. The Trust was established by an initial loan from Lord Steinberg and has since received further donations and legacies from him. The work of the trust is a tribute to the philanthropic ideals of its Founder who passed away in 2009. The Trust does not fund-raise and seeks to ensure a lasting legacy through careful management of its resources and distribution of its funds.
The Steinberg family hold three Trustee positions - 1) Lady Beryl Steinberg, the Founder's wife, 2) Lynne Steinberg, the Founder's daughter and 3) Jonathan Steinberg, the Founder's son. New Trustees may be appointed by a resolution of a meeting of the Trustees.
Trustees’ meetings take place where the Trustees agree the strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including grant making, investment and risk management. The meetings are controlled by Mr Jonathan Steinberg.
The day to day administration of grants and applications is performed by the Trust Secretary.
Meetings are periodically attended by the Trust's investment advisors.
The charitable group comprises the Trust as the unincorporated parent entity, and various noncharitable trading subsidiaries operating to ultimately develop growing income streams and capital growth opportunities and therefore facilitate increased funds for distribution for charitable services by the Trust.
Objectives and activities
The objects of the Trust are to use the income as the Trustees' see fit in making donations for charitable purposes. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to guidance on public benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and in planning future activities
Whilst the objects in the founding deed are very wide, the main aim of the Steinberg Family Charitable Trust is the provision of grants to Jewish charities located in the North West of the United Kingdom or active within the Jewish Community whether in the North West or Israel, particularly those involved with the provision of education, and social services.
Whilst the majority of our grants are to Jewish Charities, we do make grants to non Jewish organisations and similarly whilst we seek to make the majority of our grants in the North West of the UK, we do make grants outside of this area.
The specific objectives for the year were to donate all available income to organisations satisfying the above criteria, and to continue to move to making larger donations to fewer organisations to allow supported institutions to achieve their own objectives. Note 8 details the types of institution to which grants are issued.
The Trust’s investments are held to generate investment income, to be distributed as grants in line with the aims for the Trust. In selecting and managing investments there are no specific social, environmental or ethical considerations.
Achievements and performance
During the year the Trust made donations of £652,918 (2020 £1,541,168). Grants were made to 52 (2020 93) organisations with the average donation being £12,556 (2020 £16,572).

The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 5 April 2021
The grants figure in the financial statements includes the movement in the long term commitments to make grants. The donations and legacies figure represents one off donations and gift aid receivable.
Investment yield for the year has been as expected
2 Trustees' meetings were held during the year
Financial review
At 5 April 2021 the Charitable Trust Group holds £30m (2020 £27m) of mixed property and financial assets managed by multiple investment managers. Investments are selected to try to provide long term growth and a consistent level of income. It is this income that provides the funding source for grants.
The valuation of the Trust assets at the previous year end suffered significantly due to the impact of Covid 19 on Global markets and commercial property, but have recovered to pre-pandemic levels. The Trustees witheld grant donations prior to the year end, whilst the pandemic progressed, apart from grant commitments/earmarked funds, to allow income to stabilise.
The Trustees regularly monitor the level of reserves with the intention of ensuring that they are at all times adequate to support all our committed donations. Annual commitments for the year passed were £429k, with a maximum single donation of £82k with almost all donations made on a request basis. We believe our monitoring is more than adequate in ensuring that our resources are at all times in a healthy state.
The Trust's reserves are held in an unrestricted income fund and an unrestricted capital fund. In addition, funds are retained within non-charitable trading subsidiaries. Investment income is held in the income fund and used to make donations and other required expenditure. Legacies and gifts, and profits on the disposal or revaluation of investment assets are held in the capital fund. There is a £490,642 deficit on the Parent Trust income fund due to the timing differences between accounting policies and payments made based on cash flow. The most significant timing difference is the recognition of committed long term donations with no specific criteria at the point of commitment, although the payment of £525,000 of the committed donations will be in future years out of the investment income arising in the income fund in the year of payment.
Funds retained within a non-charitable subsidiary represent the net capital and reserves of subsidiaries, through which land and properties were purchased to generate investment income to transfer to the Trust for charitable activities. The deficits arise due to the revaluation of land held for future development or sale in one subsidiary, and provisions for revaluations of investment properties and bad debts in another subsidiary, which the Trustees are taking legal action to recover. The Trustees are satisfied that the deficit in the funds at subsidiaries and the income fund is acceptable based on the terms of the Trust deed.
The Trustees consider the principal risk facing the Trust is the variability of investment returns. The investment managers and property manager attend Trustee meetings to discuss and mitigate the risk in respect of listed investments and investment properties. The Trustees have sought more varied investment approaches via the trading subsidiaries, whilst assessing the acceptability of the risk and rewards profile, in order to diversify the portfolio and maintain income to allow continued grants for charitable purposes.
Events after the end of the reporting period
There are no such events requiring disclosure in the financial statements.

The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 5 April 2021
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK 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 to operate
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information
The trustees' annual report was approved on 5 February 2022 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Year ended 5 April 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group for the year ended 5 April 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ''The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'' (United Kingdon Generally Accepted Accounting Practice)..
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable group's and Trust’s affairs as at 5 April 2021 and of its incoming resourcesF and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable group and Trust 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
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable group and Trust’s ability to continue to as a going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statement and our auditor’s report thereon. 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 conjunction with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility os 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 n 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
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- 5 -
The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Year ended 5 April 2021
-
the information given in the trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees 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 charitable group and Trust or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 it 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, that could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our discussions with the charitable group’s management and the Trustees, we identified that the following laws and regulations are significant to the entity:
-
These laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards and Charity Law.
-
Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects if the charity and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include compliance with the charitable objectives, public benefit, fundraising regulations, safeguarding and health and safety legislation.
These matters were discussed amongst the engagement team at the planning stage and the team remained alert to non-compliance throughout the audit.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and the Trustees as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of Trustee meeting minutes, testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be

The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Year ended 5 April 2021
indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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 charitable group and Trust and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

The Steinberg Family Charitable Trust Group
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 5 April 2021
1. General information
The Trust is a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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) (Second Edition)and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a “true and fair” view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a “true and fair view”. This departure has involved following “Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Second Edition)” rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
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 and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. The deficit on the income fund is in respect of timing differences. The Trustees expect to fund grants committed for future years from the investment income in the year of payment. The deficit in respect of funds retained within non-charitable subsidiaries arise due to the revaluation of land held for sale at one subsidiary and provisions for bad debts in another subsidiary, which the Trustees are taking legal action to recover. The Trustees are satisfied that the deficit in the funds at subsidiaries and the income fund is acceptable based on the terms of the Trust deed.
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 at the time such estimates are made
Significant judgements
The management has not made any critical judgements (apart from those involving estimations) in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements

Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
-
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful economic lives taking into account, where appropriate, residual values. Assessment of useful lives and residual values are performed annually – see note 18.
-
Recoverability of trade debtors is assessed annually, based on assumptions about historical recovery rates and future market conditions
-
UK Investment properties are shown at fair value based on estimates of likely disposal value as at 5 April 2021 prepared by independent valuers. Overseas investment properties and overseas land investment are shown at fair value based on estimates of market value as at 31 January 2020 and 30 April 2018 prepared by independent valuers.
Fund accounting
All funds at the period end are unrestricted general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. The income fund represents income from investments available for routine charitable distribution in accordance with the Trustees' present policy. The capital fund represents legacies and gifts and is held for longer term investment or special projects. Donations received with restricted use are paid out in line with the restrictions, during the year, or retained in a specific Restricted fund.
Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities. Subsidiary financial statements are translated into Sterling at the exchange rate at the reporting date, with gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.
Incoming resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. 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.
-
investment income from listed investments is recognised for dividends when the shareholders right to receive payment is established
-
investment property income is recognised in respect of the period to which the rental income relates
-
interest income in respect of group loans is accrued based on the terms of the loan
-
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.
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 portfolio management costs and rental collection.
• 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.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once he recipient of the grant has provided the specific service or output.
Grants payable without performance conditions are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
Support costs, including governance costs in respect of audit and accountancy and professional fees are all allocated against the charity's main activity, grant donations for charitable purposes
Intangible assets
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the net fair value of the Group’s share of assets and liabilities at acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost
Goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis over 10 years
Tangible fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value over the useful economic life of that asset. Motor vehicles are depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Freehold property is depreciated on a straight line basis over 50 years
Investments
Equity investments in group shares are measured at cost less impairment as fair value cannot be reliably measured. Loans to group companies are measured at cost less impairment.
Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.
All movements in value arising from investment changes or revaluation are recognised in the SoFA
Investment property
Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.
Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Concessionary loans received
Concessionary loans are advanced by Trustees at below market rates of interest and are repayable in more than one year. The Trustees have opted to initially measure these loans at the amount received, with the carrying amount adjusted in subsequent years to reflect repayments and impairment, in line with the SORP.
Financial instruments
The Group only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and related parties, loans to related parties, listed investments and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

Investment properties
The UK investment properties were valued as at 5th April 2021 by an independent valuer, holding a recognised and relevant qualification and having recent experience in similar investment properties. The valuer estimates the likely disposal price for these 6 properties at 5 April 2021 to be £9,636,000 and the increase in market value £25,000 is included within net losses on investments.

The Restricted Capital fund brought forward represents donations received but not spent in respect of a specific project to refurbish the freehold property purchased for charitable use. The refurbishment is complete and the funds have been transferred to the unrestricted capital fund.
The Income Fund comprises investment income received less grant donations made. Commitments to pay future donations are recognised as expenditure in the year of commitment, therefore committed donations are in excess of investment income received creating an ongoing income fund deficit. The Trustees are satisfied that the deficit is acceptable based on the terms of the Trust deed.

The deficits arise due to the revaluation of land held for future development in one subsidiary and provisions for bad debts in another subsidiary. The Trustees are satisfied that the deficit is acceptable based on the terms of the Trust deed.
