Objectives and activities
The charitable trust is constituted and governed by a trust deed.
The Charity's objects are to do all such things as are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales for the benefit of the public and in particular for the benefit of Jewish people living in the Borough of Gateshead and adjoining areas, including: (i) The provision of facilities for recreation and leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving their conditions of life, including the establishment and maintenance of a community centre; (ii) The relief of unemployment or financial hardship for the benefit of the public in such ways as may be thought fit including the provision of education, training and all the necessary support designed to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income and be self-sufficient, and assistance to find employment; (iii) The promotion and support of voluntary and charitable organisations (provided that such promotion and support is for work that is exclusively charitable); (iv) The advancement of health and physical and mental wellbeing through the delivery of health services, and social care and health care education; and (v) The relief of those in need by reason of financial hardship or other disadvantage including through the provision and support of housing and any associated amenities for persons in necessitous circumstances upon terms appropriate to their means.
In the furtherance of these charitable objects, the charity is expecting to raise funds and invite and receive from any person or persons whatsoever by way of subscription, donation and otherwise, provided that the charity does not undertake any permanent trading activities in raising funds for their charitable objects.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year.
Financial review
Total income for the year has decreased over the year by £81,172.
Direct charitable expenditure has decreased by £133,908.
Governance costs were slightly higher than last year.
Funds are available to permit the charity to continue in operation in the medium to long term and to continue to fund worthwhile projects.
Arrangements are in hand to continue to raise funds to finance the charity's activities and projects.
Background and local context
Now celebrating its 26[th] year, the Jewish Community Council of Gateshead (JCCG) continues to occupy pride of place as a pivotal community anchor body providing a wide range of services for the local Jewish community in a culturally sensitive way. Under its mission statement of ‘Support-Advocacy-Opportunity’, the JCCG works to actively break down barriers to improve people’s social, economic and health & wellbeing prospects.
From its centrally located Bewick Centre Community Centre base, the JCCG works with people of all ages, delivering a range of community-benefit projects. In addition, the JCCG supports local charities and youth groups, with a focus on children with disabilities.

Jewish Community Council of Gateshead
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
The JCCG works to represent the community and in that capacity is a strategic partner with Gateshead Council, Northumbria Police, the NHS, Fire Service and other statutory bodies, and voluntary agencies such as Citizens Advice and Connected Voice. Trusted partnerships formed over many years, result in better outcomes for the community. The JCCG also liaises with central Government in collaboration with national Jewish partner organisations.
Apart from ongoing dialogue with the Local Authority on a range of issues affecting the community, the JCCG’s Project Director is a member of the Police and Crime Panel and the Gateshead Safeguarding Children's Partnership.
As an organisation engaged heavily in social welfare, the JCCG has partnered with stakeholders such as Campaign Against Child Poverty and other regional and national partners to engage extensively with Government on issues such as child poverty, the difficulties posed by the introduction of Universal Credit (to which the North East is currently migrating), and the two-child cap.
The JCCG’s subsidiary Registered Housing Provider Adler Housing, as well as continuing to manage its housing stock, is actively engaged with partner Housing Associations to develop further social housing in the locality. We are encouraged by the commencement of construction on its next project which will see a further 20 family homes being created, in partnership with AIHA.
The JCCG is currently benefitting from a year grant from The National Lottery Community Fund. The funding allows the organisation to initiate new community benefit projects and further build capacity. The JCCG also receives funding from the Tudor Trust, the Community Foundation, Sport England, and other grant making bodies.
Beneficiaries
The charity’s beneficiaries are based within central Gateshead’s densely populated urban core, living in wards ranking very low on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation.
The community faces multiple challenges around general disadvantage, poverty, lack of suitable housing, health inequalities, digital exclusion, and lack of access to services. Through its activities, the JCCG aims to close the gaps faced by the community, offering opportunity and equal access for all. We constantly aim to nurture and promote economic opportunity and prosperity, improved health and wellbeing outcomes, and sustainable development activity.
A current specific focus of the JCCG’s work is around employment and business support, aiming to upskill community members and boost economic activity; and family support, working in partnership with Gateshead Council to provide a Family Hub offering to the community.
The JCCG regularly collects feedback and data from its service users to measure change and impact, and to feed into the design and tailoring of projects in response to demand.

These include a multi-purpose hall, internet drop-in, Fitness Centre, conference facilities and office space. During an average week, hundreds of users pass through its doors to access services and activities.
Labriut Healthy Living Centre
The Labriut Healthy Living Centre, a flagship JCCG project, continues its successful track record of delivering a rich program of health-related events and educational material to a community which is often referred to as ‘hard to reach’. In addition to a suite of exercise sessions for men and women, Labriut brings knowledge and understanding of health matters to the community in a culturally sensitive way via awareness-raising and events.
Labriut Healthy Living Centre has a long and distinguished history of acting as a single point of access to the community for Gateshead Council Public Health Team and other health agencies. Labriut play the role of trusted middleman to ensure that Gateshead Council and NHS organisations have a partner to work with to secure access to the community and deliver its statutory and other obligations.
Hospital Chaplaincy
Two JCCG Board Members occupy key roles within local Health Trusts. One is an Appointed Governor at the QE Hospital and Honorary Chaplain with the Newcastle NHS Trust, and the other is Honorary Chaplain at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Chaplain at the QE Hospital.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Jewish Community Council of Gateshead
Year ended 31 March 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Jewish Community Council of Gateshead ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements 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 Act.
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 the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2023
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 81 Bewick Road, Gateshead, NE8 1RR.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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 (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
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.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
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 under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Jewish Community Council of Gateshead
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are 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.
-
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. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
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 the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
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.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Jewish Community Council of Gateshead
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line Motor vehicles - 20% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
12
Jewish Community Council of Gateshead
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or 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.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
