REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH NOVEMBER 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th November 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Charity's object and principal activity continues to be that of the advancement of Orthodox Jewish Religious Education amongst members of the Jewish faith throughout the world and such other charitable purposes as the Charity may from time to time determine.
The Charity is organised so that the Directors and Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs and deal with the day to day administration.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The trustees are satisfied with the level of donations during the year and are confident of a growth in the foreseeable future.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a surplus for the year of £12,579 (£102 in 2020) and our reserves stand at a surplus of £15,252 (£2,673 in 2020).
FUTURE PLANS
The need for our services is increasing and we plan to continue doing what we can to assist. However, the Trustees realise that we must use the resources we have wisely and so we will continue to target those problems where we have expertise to make the most difference. We therefore intend to continue our approach of education and training, with further projects to build on the previous ones.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GATESHEAD ACADEMY FOR TORAH STUDIES LIMITED
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Gateshead Academy For Torah Studies Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30th November 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
