Objects and activities of the Charity
The purposes of the Charity as set out in its governing document.
The principal objectives and activity of the Congregation are to facilitate Jewish worship in the Sephardi tradition and rituals formerly practiced by the Shaare Sedek Synagogue Congregation and the Withington Congregation [Shaare Rahamim] and for such other congregational educational and charitable purposes as the Congregation shall from time to time direct including the right to appoint a minister or reader who is Jewish and conforms with the said tradition and rituals.
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the Charity as well as management of conflicts and complaints.
Under the Trust Deed, the Trustees are empowered:
To permit the Charity to be managed in accordance with the Ascamot by a committee ("the Council” formerly known as the Mahamad) and for this purpose to delegate to the Council power to invite and accept applications from persons of the Jewish religion to become members of the Congregation, to levy an annual donation or fee for such membership, to accept contributions to raise money by appeals and other similar means and to perform such acts (not required by law to be performed by the Trustees) as are necessary in order to conduct the ordinary business of the Charity in accordance with the Objects and with the Ascamot.
The main achievements and performance of the Charity during the year.
The congregation have reason to be extremely grateful to Anthony Leon who was Chair of Trustees for over 20 years and has served the congregation with skill, tact and leadership during his long period in office. Joe Dwek CBE took over as Chair but had to step down in October having nevertheless accomplished a great deal in typical fashion. Danny Betesh and David Peppi having served as Trustees for more years than they cared to remember also stepped down. The new Chair of Trustees, Stephen Blank, committed himself to looking carefully for new Trustees who would add diversity and relevant experience.
A combined committee of Trustees and Council Members worked very hard during the year to revise both Governance Documents, namely the Trust Deed and the Ascamot, in order to bring them up to date, eliminate inconsistencies and ensure compliance with the Charites Act 2011. We were assisted in this by Graham Wood of Kuits Solicitors. The documents now make clear where the responsibilities of Trustees end and those of the Council start although it should be noted that actions matter more than documents so if a person acts as a Trustee, he / she is a Trustee in law. These documents were approved together at a General Meeting of the Congregation on 11 December 2022.
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 was not an easy task, but he has achieved much. The Trustees asked him to join them and his appointment was approved at last year’s AGM.

The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022
2022 saw the easing of most restrictions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. Both the Synagogues at Wicker Lane and Queenston Road maintained services within the constraints of the government guidelines.
Covid 19 was and to some extent continues to be a huge challenge to all places of worship but we believe that under our senior Rabbi, 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 continues to be used by Rabbi Amir Ellituv while 8 Queenston Road was used by Rabbi Gabriel Kada until the end of the year.
Following the marketing process for the development and downsize of Queenston Road, discussions have continued with potential developers, the planners and conservation officer. Any formal proposal that may eventually result will require the approval of 60% of the Trustees and 60% of the Congregation in a General Meeting.
Structure, governance and management of the Charity
The methods used to recruit and appoint new Charity Trustees.
These have been comprehensively revised in the new Trust Deed effective 11th December 2022.
There shall be at least four Trustees and a maximum of ten Trustees. Every future Trustee shall be appointed by a resolution of the Members of the Congregation requesting such appointment passed at a General Meeting called in accordance with the Ascamot.
Any Full Member seeking election as a Trustee shall apply to the Chair of Trustees for consideration. If the candidate is deemed a worthy applicant by the Trustees, the Chair of Trustees shall recommend the applicant for election at the General Meeting of the Members, whose election shall be appointed by a simple majority vote.
No person shall be appointed as a Trustee:
-
unless he or she has attained the age of 21 years and shall have been a Full Member of the Congregation (as defined in the Ascamot) for not less than 5 years and who are not more than 6 months in arrears of subscription fees and meet the criteria set in out this Trust Deed.
-
In considering individuals for appointment as Trustees, the Trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Charity.
-
Any vacancy shall be filled by an election held at a General Meeting of the Members convened for the purpose and approved by simple majority.
-
Trustees shall hold office for a maximum of 5 years before presenting for re-election. After the age of 77, a retiring Trustee who wishes to remain a Trustee shall present for re-election every 2 years. The Trust Deed was silent about existing Trustees. The Trustees have therefore voluntarily agreed that they must be considered for re-election (if they choose to stand) as follows: 2024: Victor Hassan, Anthony Sultan; 2025: Reuben Solomon, Richard Simon; 2026: Jonathan Shasha, Stephen Blank; 2027: Clement Goldstone
-
The Chair of Council shall automatically be a Trustee.

The Charity's organisational structure.
The Congregation has a two-tier decision-making process. The duties of the Council are set out in the Ascamot which were adopted (replacing the previous Ascamot) at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Congregation held on 11th December 2022. 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, the Council are appointed annually by the Congregation.
The assets of the Congregation are vested in the Trustees, who are appointed by the Congregation and are responsible for strategy, risk management and compliance with the Charities Act 2011 and CCEW Guidance.
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.

The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2022
Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 December 2022 .
The deficit for the year on the unrestricted funds before revaluations was £37,476. The combined net movement in funds was a deficit before revaluations of £7,086. The Congregation remains reliant on unrestricted income from annual subscriptions and voluntary offerings, which amounted to £185,468 (net of bad debts) and donations, legacies and other income which total £146,154.
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 that is one quarter of £394,109 (Statement of Financial Activities SORP Ref B) which is £98,527. At the 31 December 2022, the Congregation held £118,367 in cash reserves.
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 major risks to which the Charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate them.
The Council and Trustees of the Congregation have considered the major risks to which the Congregation is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks. The Trustees do not perceive that the Congregation is vulnerable to any major risks in view of its current financial position.
Plans For the Future
Summary of plans for the future and the Trustees' perspective of the future direction of the Charity.
Current Year
Notwithstanding 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, provided that the congregation there remains viable. Following the Covid restrictions, the frequency of the Minyan has reduced to 3 days a week plus Shabbat and Yom Tovs. Rabbi Gabriel Kada’s contract came to an end on 31 December 2022 and was not renewed.
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.

Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), .

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 2022 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's affairs as at 31 December 2022, and of its incoming resources 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 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.
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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; 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 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.
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:
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:
-
Enquiries of management, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning policies and procedures relating to:
-
-identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance
-
-detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; and
-
-the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
remuneration policies, key drivers for remuneration and bonus levels; and
-
Discussions among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. The engagement team have experience of working with companies and this experience was relevant to the discussion about where fraud risks may arise.
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
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:
-
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
Enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with relevant authorities including Charity Commission and HMRC ;
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
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.
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.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022
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.
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.

The Sephardi Congregation of South Manchester
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022
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.
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, improvement cost and legacy value, 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.
