Presidents Report 2022

We have gradually seen a return to some sort of normality since the start of the pandemic but we cannot become too complacent and still, we must take personal responsibility, for not just ourselves but for those around us as well.

We as a congregation can consider ourselves to be very fortunate that it has not affected us any further and that our prayers go out to all those still suffering wherever they may be.

As in previous years we have unfortunately had a few deaths in the congregation this past year and on behalf of the Executive and Presidents committee I extend our condolences to the family and friends of the bereaved.

Rabbi Amir played a major part in the way, we as a congregation have handled the pandemic and he continues to be at the forefront of our communal life.

Our thanks go to him for all his consummate work and also to those of Rabbi Kada, Caroline and Fran in the office along with our caretakers Stuart and Dave and not forgetting Ben Whiteman our head of security, in keeping us all as safe as possible.

As you may or may not know, Richard Simon is sadly standing down this year as chairman after 3 years in the post.

Anyone who has not done the job and or has been closely associated with the chairman, will not realise the inordinate amount of time and effort that goes into the job and he leaves some very large shoes to fill. On behalf of us all I would Like to thank him for all his endeavours and also to his long-suffering wife Deanne.

Another retiree is Ros Farshi who is stepping down after some 20 dedicated years in the post of Honorary Secretary. Our thanks go out to her for having given great service to the congregation and she will be sorely missed.

Stuart our caretaker in Hale is retiring. He has been part of the synagogue furniture from the beginning and has ensured its smooth running, in all its aspects and will be an immense loss, especially his happy smiling face no matter what.

On behalf of all of us I would like to wish him and his wife a happy and healthy retirement and good luck with the CAMINO.

It would be remiss of me not to mention and thank all those members who give of their all, working tirelessly in the background for the good of the congregation.

We have The Town Hall Committee led by Ben Whiteman which has been revitalising communal life which has involved many congregants and so far has seen great success in the themed Egyptian and Iraqi weekends. May they go from strength to strength. The greater the support the greater the enjoyment as already experienced.

For those of you who are unaware, we now have a Chessed Caring Committee , to help with the Lonely, Housebound or Unwell. This pastoral care is in conjunction with our Rabbis. However, we do need more volunteers to spread the load.

So, if you are able to help or know of someone who is in the need of help or requires visiting please contact, Rabbi Amir 07869 134 917 or the Synagogue Office 0161 980 1877

I would like to welcome all those new members who have joined this past year and to wish Mazal Tov to all members who have had some form of celebration during the past year, Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s, Engagements, Weddings and Births, Children, Grand and Great Grand Children too.

Wishing you all a wonderful year to come.

Best Regards Michael Khodadad President

We have Habonim every 2nd Sunday afternoon led by Hayley Goldsmith and Zoe Adam-Strump.

Bnei Akiva every 2[nd] Shabbat afternoon led by Libby Elias. Childrens services with Shoshana Ellituv and Libby Elias as well as Chader every Sunday led by Shoshana with approximately 15 children. Tova Ellituv runs a very successful Bat Mitzvah class for 7-8 girls.

Treasurer’s Report 2021

Balance Sheet items

I will summarise the key points of the statutory accounts.

Current Account

The unrestricted funds for the financial year ending 31[st] December 2021 show a surplus of £54,469. To arrive at the recurring income and expenditure for the Synagogue, this surplus needs to be adjusted by the following amounts which comprise the revaluation surplus and non-recurring income:-


be adjusted by the following amounts which comprise the
income:-
revaluation surplus an
Revaluation surplus: £38,000
Legacies: £ 1,020
Ladies Guild surplus of expenditure over income: (£ 756)
Furlough payments received: £ 8,954
Filming fees: £ 5,650

After adjusting for the above, the recurring unrestricted funds surplus for the year is only £1,601 (after allowing for depreciation of £1,276).

In terms of restricted funds donations there is a surplus for the year of £186,269 which is mainly accounted for by donations to the Building Fund.

The main items to note are as follows:-

The Congregation continues to be indebted to the Safra Foundation for their generous support. Following repayment of £900,000 in 2020 the remaining loan outstanding to the Safra Foundation is £400,000 , which is interest free and due for repayment on 31[st] May 2026.

Following the resolution at last year’s AGM, Higham Construction Ltd (my construction company) was repaid and a 5 year secured interest free loan was entered into in the sum of £640,000 with Wilbraham Road (Manchester) Trust Ltd (a charity of which I am the managing trustee). This loan is also due for repayment in 2026.

The Future

The Congregation’s balance sheet is strong and with the help of the interest free loans, the Congregation has 4 years to realise further assets or take a commercial loan to provide funds for these to be repaid.

Now that both Synagogues are returning to normal activity, expenses which have been artificially reduced during the last 2 years as a result of Covid restrictions are increasing. In addition, there are well publicised substantial inflationary increases in costs, in particular utility costs which are subject to 200% plus increases in the case of electricity and gas.

We are proposing an increase in fees from October 2022. Our challenge remains to keep the current account balanced going forward with what are still the lowest Synagogue subscription fees in South Manchester. I anticipate that the current account will show a deficit for the current year.

Thanks

I would like to thank Caroline for the skilful manner with which she has embraced the additional responsibilities that she has taken on since the year end and the initiative she has put into these tasks. Caroline has really been a great support to the management team.

I do not know how to thank Reuben Solomon enough for his tireless work in all aspects of the functioning of the Synagogue. Even whilst abroad, Reuben is in constant contact with the Synagogue office and directing matters from a distance! His contribution to the Congregation is invaluable.

I am grateful to Anthony M Sultan for his ongoing work and support.

Land and Buildings

Synagogue at Wicker Lane

There are still dedications to be completed at Wicker Lane and samples have been made for an approved design of the first stained-glass window. Once the first window has been installed, we anticipate further windows will be dedicated. The Synagogue basement has been designed to be opened out into a function hall and to provide (if further works are undertaken) an additional kitchen if the Congregation so decide at a future date.

Many thanks to Richard Simon who will be stepping down as Chairman of Council this year. It has been a tough 3 years to hold this post and the Congregation is indebted to Richard for the skill, time and energy with which he has successfully navigated this difficult period.

Could I also mention a vote of thanks to Ros Farshi who has been a great Honorary Secretary for 20 years. Both I and the Congregation are indebted to Ros. I am delighted to note that Ros will be remaining a Council member.

A final thanks to our Chairman of Trustees, Anthony Leon who stepped down this year. Anthony has directed the Congregation with great tenacity and we are grateful for your time and devotion to the Congregation over the last 15 years.

Synagogue at Queenston Road

Congregants will be aware that we do not believe it is practical to continue to “patch repair” the roof of the hall at Queenston Road and it’s condition will need monitoring.

Following the marketing for development proposals and a “downsize” of the Synagogue at Queenston Road, we are in discussion with developers to progress this.

Residential properties

The Congregation retains ownership of 4 fully refurbished modern houses in prime locations of which 2 are producing investment income and 2 are occupied / used by Rabbis of the Congregation.

Board of Deputies report

EXECUTIVE

The Board of Deputies continues to do its essential work within many Jewish communities and organisations throughout the country.

At a time of rising antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment, the Board has worked consistently to give voice to the Jewish community and represent its interests and welfare.

WARDENS / PARNASSIM :

MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENTS COMMITTEE :

The Board has chosen Manchester for its next regional weekend 20-22 May. Although most of the activities will be in North Manchester, the Board is very committed to a full engagement with the member communities of South Manchester. For example, A BoD Honorary Officer would stay in the area over Shabbat and would be happy to present the Board’s activities on Shabbat morning. (However, I understand that there will be a simcha on that day and it may not prove a suitable time after all.)

Of most relevance to Shaare Hayim this year, the BoD was instrumental in resolving difficulties experienced by the community being located in two districts for the purposes of registering weddings. This had been creating some practical and bureaucratic problems which we believe have now been resolved.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2021

Both the Synagogues at Shaare Sedek, Wicker Lane and Queenston Road maintained services for most of the year within the constraints of the government guidelines.

Covid 19 has continued to be a huge challenge to all places of worship but we believe that under the able leadership of Rabbi Amir Ellituv, good religious and exceptional pastoral care has been provided to our members. The Rabbis and Council have in addition provided practical ongoing support to our members.

Real Estate

Our real estate at Wicker Lane, Hale Barns continues to generate an income stream for the Congregation. Two of the three dwellings on the Wicker Lane site continue to be rented out and Partington Farm and 8 Queenston Road continue to be used by the Rabbis of the Congregation.

Following the marketing process for the development and “downsize” of Queenston Road, discussion are being had with developers to provide a strategy for consideration by the Congregation in due course. It is anticipated that any realisation of assets will enable the Congregation to pay down the outstanding interest free loans.

Objects and activities of the charity

The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.

The principal activity and objectives and activity of the Congregation are to facilitate Jewish Worship in the Sephardi tradition and rituals and other congregational educational and charitable purposes.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.

The congregation have reason to be extremely thankful to Anthony Leon who was Chairman of Trustees for over 20 years and has served the congregation with skill, tact and leadership during his long period in office

Structure, governance and management of the charity

The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees.

The appointment of the original Trustees occurred on the amalgamation of the two original congregations. Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Trust Deed which provides that there shall be at least four Trustees and a maximum of twelve Trustees who shall be appointed by a resolution of the members of the Congregation passed at a general meeting in accordance with the Ascamot. No procedure for nomination of Trustees is prescribed although new Trustees should be members for at least five years and have served at least two years on the Mahamad. In practice new Trustees have been proposed by the existing Trustees. The only specific restriction imposed by the governing document is that the Trustees shall not dispose of or purchase any land or buildings unless authorised by a resolution of the members of the Congregation.

The charity's organisational structure.

The Congregation has a two-tier decision making process. The duties or the Council are set out in the Ascamot which was adopted (replacing the previous Ascamot) at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Congregation held on 20th May 2007 and subsequently amended at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Congregation held on 16th May 2010 and a subsequent meeting held on 13th December 2015. The Council manages the day to day functions of the Congregation. The Council has responsibility for the business affairs, management and administration of the Congregation. The President's Committee is responsible for religious, cultural and social functions of the Congregation and for all its rituals and ceremonies. The Honorary Officers and President's Committee, and from 2009, half the Council are appointed annually by the Congregation. The assets of the Congregation are vested in the Trustees, who are appointed by the Congregation.

At the Council Meeting held on 20th June 2016, the Council unanimously adopted a formalised modus operandi for the operation of the Yom Kippur Appeal, in order that the Congregation should have greater visibility of the application of funds raised by the Appeal and in accordance with the principles of sound governance.

The donations for this year are listed in note 30 to the accounts.

We would also like to thank Richard Simon, retiring as Chairman of the Council who for many years has worked hard for the congregation. His, is not an easy task, but he has achieved much. The Trustees would like him to join them and they shall be putting forward his nomination at the forthcoming AGM.

Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 December 2021 .

The surplus for the year on the unrestricted funds before revaluations was £16,469. The combined net movement in funds was a surplus before revaluations of £202,639. The Congregation remains reliant on unrestricted income from annual subscriptions and voluntary offerings, which amounted to £181,511(net of bad debts) and donations, legacies and other income which total £190,105.

Policies on reserves.

The Congregation aims to hold reserves sufficient to ensure that it is a going concern. Specifically, the Council aims to maintain cash reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to at least three months of expenditure. At the 31 December 2021, the Congregation held £140,668 in cash reserves.

Not withstanding any decision on the future location of services, the Trustees (and Council) are committed to ensuring that there are services available to our members in the Didsbury area, for as long as there is such a requirement and subject to such services being supported by a Minyan. Following the Covid restrictions, the frequency of the Minyan has reduced to 2 days a week plus Shabbat and Yom Tovs. Rabbi Kada’s contract has been extended to 31 December 2022.

We are delighted that following many years without a Cheder, Rabbi Amir with the assistance of Ben Whiteman and Ed Gee have started a Sunday Cheder for which demand seems to be increasing. It is hoped that this will provide a platform for a strong Jewish education for the attendees. We look forward to its continuing success.

Ben Whiteman has been instrumental in galvanizing the younger members of the Congregation to participate in social activities and themed Shabbats. We have an enthusiastic and capable group of members who it is hoped will form the nucleus of the leadership of the Congregation in years to come. We are pleased to note that youth activities on Shabbat in Synagogue have begun to return to normal.

Thanks to all those who have helped with security in both locations, in particular Ben Whiteman, Jack Shalom and Paddy Wagon.

Constitution

The Charity is governed by a Trust Deed and Ascamot. The Trustees, in conjunction with the Council, are currently reviewing these, as parts have become outdated or irrelevant and need bringing in line with current practice. As part of this exercise, a risk assessment is being undertaken to ensure that we have appropriate “fir for purpose” policies in place for the risks identified. We will also be commissioning lawyers to review the Trust Deed to ensure that they reflect current statutory requirements for Charities. They will also advise as to the suitability of the current holding structure of the Charity and any alternative structures that should be considered.

Details of The Auditor

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The board of Trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Investment policy and investment objectives.

The Trustees may invest the funds in any manner in accordance with the prevailing law in connection with the investment of trust funds. The Council, so enabled by the Trustees, makes all significant investment decisions. All significant cash spend decisions are made by the Council or by the Congregation as required by the Ascamot.

The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester

Independent auditors' report to the trustees of The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011. 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 charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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.

26 April 2022

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is 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 in 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.

Independent auditors' report to the trustees of The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent auditors' report to the trustees of The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester

Audit response to risks identified

As a result of performing the above, we did not identify any key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations.

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under section 145 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 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, they 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:

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

Langer & Co is eligible for appointment as auditor of the charity by virtue of its eligibility for appointment as auditor of a company under section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011 and FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and 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), Charities SORP(FRS102), as amended by Update Bulletin 1.

26 April 2022

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable charity law in England this being the Charities Act 2011 and SI 2008/629 (Charities Accounting and Reporting Regulations) and, pending the making of replacement Regulations specific to Charities SORP (FRS102) in accordance with Reg.8(4)(d) of SI 2008/629, the charity trustees have departed from the requirement of Reg.8(5) by following Charities SORP (FRS102) instead of Charities SORP (FRSSE) to the extent necessary to give a true and fair view in the circumstances.

Going Concern

The Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

The charity is an unincorporated trust registered in England. The principal address of the charity is 24 Wicker Lane, Hale Barns, WA15 0HQ.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

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:

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Legacies are included when the charity is advised by the personal representative of an estate that payment will be made or property transferred and the amount involved can be quantified.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021

The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

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 directly allocated to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

The Congregation has the following concessionary loans; Safra Foundation. The loan is interest free. The loan outstanding at 31 December 2021 is £400,000 and is repayable on 31 May 2026, or earlier if the Congregation sells any or all of the land and buildings. If repayment is not made on time the loan converts to an investment and a profit not exceeding 5% shall accrue; Wilbraham Road (Manchester) Trust Limited. The loan is interest free and secured against the land and buldings of the Congregation. The loan outstanding at 31 December 2021 is £640,000 and is repayable 8 May 2026 or earlier if the Congregation sells any or all of the land and buildings.

Fixed Asset Investments

Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds, investment properties and similar investments are shown initially at cost upon acquisition and at their market value at the balance sheet date at the end of the financial period. Investment properties are not depreciated.

All gains on fixed asset investments, whether realised or unrealised, are included in row B4 of the Statement of Financial Activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Freehold premises 0 % straight line Plant, machinery, fixtures and fittings 33 & 15 % straight line

Financial instruments including cash and bank balances

The Congregation has basic financial instruments and a concessionary loan. These are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Pensions - defined contribution schemes

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

There are no designated funds.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

There are no endowment funds.

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
