TRUSTEES' REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2023

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES

The objects of the charity are:

(a) The advancement of the Gospel of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah primarily among Jews but also among Gentiles in the UK, Europe, Israel and elsewhere by

• promoting the knowledge and understanding of the Bible by teaching, preaching and the provision of literature;

• providing services for the worship of God (the Father creator of the universe, his son Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah and the Holy Spirit) and the celebration of the Biblical festivals and feasts;

• promoting the knowledge amongst Christians of the teaching of the Bible concerning the place of the Jewish people in the purposes of God; and

(b) To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in the United Kingdom, Israel and in such other parts of the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.

There have been no changes in the objectives since the last annual report.

ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES

ACTIVITIES

Our office near Sevenoaks continues to be our base of operations where our team carry out the work of Maoz UK.

Our team consists of Brian and Elizabeth Greenaway, as well as our Finance Administrator and Office Administrator. During 2023 the Trustees continued to support the Maoz Ambassador role, reaching the next generation. To this end we have worked with a group of musicians and young leaders to arrange and promote special events.

Our office base is used to carry out administration which includes managing finances, including grant allocation. We also administer a comprehensive receipt process and communicate with partners. We produce the prayer letter and oversee the management of resources. .

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees have had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. Among our activities are relief of persons who are in conditions of need or hardship, the production of Messianic Jewish literature and music, support of Arab Christians, assistance to provide worship services and the celebration of Biblical festivals and aid to widows and school children in a remote region in India.

MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN TO FURTHER THE CHARITY'S PURPOSES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT

Attendance at conferences and churches continued in 2023 with Maoz UK attending 4 major conferences, AOG and Elim Leadership Conferences, New Wine and David’s Tent. After the events of 7th October 2023 we started a weekly prayer Zoom which now continues on a fortnightly basis. We also held a joint conference with Dovetail Shalom in November 2023 which saw around 120 people in attendance.

The team were involved in mailing special cards for the Biblical holidays to different groups of partners. They also maintain the dedicated UK website, as well as a Facebook page, Instagram account and Twitter feed.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2023

Brian continues to visit churches and groups to provide teaching on the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and to contribute to the AOG Israel Mission Forum.

We continued to increase our regular contact with major donors to express our gratitude for their support.

We are also encouraging our supporters to send us their personal prayer requests, and we meet every week to pray for these.

Brian is chair of Love Never Fails, a quarterly meeting of Directors and leaders of ministries relating to Israel. Brian is also involved in the British Messianic Jewish Alliance.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

FUND RAISING

Total income in 2023 was £397,528, including £23,076 rental income received in respect of a legacy bequeathed to the charity, an absolute decrease of £190,672 on the restated £593,600 for 2022 after adjusting for a prior year adjustment of £300,000 (see note 14) though excluding this amount the underlying income increased by £103,928.

We sent £226,500 to support work in Israel and £4,705 to India, a total of £231,205 in 2023, compared to £190,294 in 2022.

SUPPORT COSTS

Support costs in 2023 were £120,189 compared to £119,554 in 2022.

FACTORS RELEVANT TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

We are continuing to use our network of leaders to reach other leaders, and are grateful for connections and support at senior level in denominations and church streams. We have grown this network over the year.

We are encouraging partners to tell other people about our work and increase our database through recommendations. We also keep the database under review to ensure that we comply with GDPR obligations and those receiving our information wish to do so, eliminating waste.

Connections made by our Maoz Ambassador are growing. We are seeing supporters and leaders connect with us on a personal level. We have approximately 1,000 people we email on a monthly basis.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

GOING CONCERN

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees aim to keep sufficient funds to cover approximately three months expenses at any one time.

Restricted funds are distributed in accordance with the donors instructions usually in the month after they are received.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.

Maoz UK constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

1.2 INCOME

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which:(1) the charity is aware that probate has been granted, (2) the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made or (3) when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.3 EXPENDITURE

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

1.4 INTEREST RECEIVABLE

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

1.5 DEBTORS

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.6 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.7 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

1.8 PENSIONS

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.

1.9 FUND ACCOUNTING

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

14. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT

The Trustees have become aware that the Charity was granted a legacy of a property valued at £300,000 in 2022. Under the SORP accounting standard, this legacy should have been treated as income in the 2022 accounts as probate was granted to the estate before 31 December 2022. The comparative figures in these accounts have been re-stated to include this income.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2023

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MAOZ UK (the 'charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023.

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. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2023

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Signed:

Dated: 24 October 2024
