FRIENDS OF THE ISRAEL SPORTS CENTRE FOR THE DISABLED TRUSTEES ' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report together with the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice' (effective 1 january 2015) and the Charities Act 2011.
Structure, governance and management
The Charity is constituted by Deed of Trust dated 19th December 2000. The powers of the charity, which is unincorporated, are set out in its Trust Deed and in the amending deed dated 15th March 2001.
The trustees who served during the year were:
B Harris J C Jukes J Harris H M Newman (resigned 28 May 2024) R Seifert (appointed 28 May 2024)
The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees. New trustees receive information as laid down by the Charity Commission and induction by the Chair of Trustees.
Objectives and activities
The charity's objectives continue to be to raise money through application and personal requests and to raise monies through investments in sporting activities for the disabled. There has been no change during the year in the policies adopted in furtherance of these objectives.
In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Achievement and performance
The receipt of donations by the Charity have shown an increase compared to the prior year.
The Charity makes presentations to supporting groups to raise awareness of the work that is undertaken at the Sports Centre. This frequently results in the receipt of donations and those organisations raising funds which they in turn donate to the charity.
We have also established relationships with grant making trusts that give, or commit to giving, annual financial support. The Charity also benefits from receiving continued support from some individual donors.
Financial review and investment policy
The level of activities this year is lower and consequently funds received and donations given were lower too.

Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The trustees consider that funds at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in funding they will be able to continue the Charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The level of reserves has fallen below this level at the year end.
Risk management
The trustees have examined the major, strategic, business and operational risks that the charity faces and confirm that the systems have been established to ensure that these risks are minimised.
Independent examiner
The trustees intend to ask the existing independent examiner to undertake the independent examination of the trust in the following year.
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any
-
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
-
presume that the charity will continue in business.
Trustees
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at

FRIENDS OF THE ISRAEL SPORTS CENTRE FOR THE DISABLED INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set on pages 7 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiners' report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners' statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and (ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
