TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 30 April 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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) (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019)”
Objectives and activities
Under the terms of the memorandum and articles of association the Trustees have the power to apply the income or capital of the charity to or for such exclusively charitable objects or purposes in any part of the world as the Trustees in their absolute discretion may determine. In particular the charity has the aim of advancing and promoting education. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when reviewing the trust's aims and objectives and setting the grant making policy for the year. In line with prior years the charity has also continued its policy of providing support to a variety of charitable institutions for the public benefit.
It is the policy of the Trustees to support individual charities mainly on a single donation basis. Applications are welcomed from other charitable institutions for grants with no geographical or other specific limitations being applied. The merits of each application are considered and if required, further research carried out prior to a grant being made.
All Trustees give of their time freely and no trustees remuneration or other benefits were paid in the year under review.
Achievements and performance
During the year under review the charity made grants of £280,650 (2024: £814,150) as detailed in note 7 to the accounts. The sum of £250,000 (2024 : £750,000) was paid to UK Friends of Inter Disciplinary Centre (an educational facility in Israel which combines academic study with practical training).
Financial review
The net income for the year amounted to £25,715 (2024: £183,488). Donations and gifts were made in the year to the charity totalling £312,939 (2024: £1,009,436). The sum of £9,791 (2024: £12,642) was expended in the form of support costs. Decrease in support costs was due to no requirement for an audit in the current year.
Going concern
Having reviewed the charity's financial forecast and expected future cash flows , the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025. Further details regarding adoption of the going concern basis can be found in note 1.2 to the financial statements.
Reserves policy
The charity had reserves at the balance sheet date of £215,790 (2024: £190,075) The Trustees are aware that the continued operation of the charity at its current levels is dependent on their future support. Thus there is no fixed reserves policy.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document the Companies Act 2006 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

(Continued)
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.8 Taxation
As a registered charity the Society is exempt from taxation on its activities which fall within the scope of part 10 ITA 2007 and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
