REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025
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 January 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity’s objects are the advancement of the Jewish religion and the application of its capital and income for charitable purposes through support of Jewish charities, associations and organisations, and such other charitable purposes as the trustees may select.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Internal and external factors
The principal asset of the charity is its freehold property, which remained vacant for much of the year. As a result, rental income was significantly lower than the prior year, although the trustees continued to ensure the property was properly maintained and available for future use in furtherance of the charity’s objects.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The charity’s principal asset is its freehold property, valued at £1,157,331 at the year end. Rental income from the property declined during the year to £1,000 (2024: £30,995), reflecting a period when the property was vacant. Expenditure relating to the property and investment management totalled £4,625 (2024: £24,228).
In addition, the charity earned £29,634 (2024: £22,095) in interest from loans made to third parties.
At 31 January 2025, total unrestricted reserves stood at £1,649,632 (2024: £1,624,825).
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to maintain reserves at a level sufficient to safeguard the charity’s ongoing obligations and to provide flexibility in supporting its charitable objects.
FUTURE PLANS
Looking ahead, the trustees will continue to review options for securing long-term rental income from the charity’s property and will consider further opportunities to support Jewish charitable organisations in line with the charity’s objects.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Organisational structure
The charity is governed by its trustees. It must have a minimum of two trustees at all times, with no upper limit. New trustees may be appointed by ordinary resolution of the existing trustees.
Risk management
The trustees keep under regular review the principal risks facing the charity, including financial, property and governance risks, and are satisfied that reserves are adequate to meet foreseeable needs.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GROVE END ROAD LIMITED
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Grove End Road Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 January 2025.
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
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 2. 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.
