GILMOOR BENEVOLENT FUND LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

CHARITY OBJECTS, AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable objects

The objects of the charity are:

Aims, objectives and activities for public benefit

The charity was established to further those purposes both in the United Kingdom and abroad recognised as charitable by English Law. The charity has concentrated its efforts in supporting the activities of religious Jewish organisations especially in the field of education and relief of poverty. The Trustees identify institutions and organisations which meet its criteria and regularly support a number of these institutions and organisations, which themselves are growing not only in England but also worldwide. To this effect the charity has Trustees resident in those countries to ensure the objects of the charity are being met.

The charity is also supportive of organisations which are solely committed to the relief of poverty. Such organisations assist needy Jewish families financially and also through distribution of basic needs.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. In doing so, the charity has complied with its duty to act for the public benefit in accordance with section 4 of The Charities Act 2011.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Strategy and business model

The charity invests in investment properties, cash deposits, fixed asset listed investments and subsidiary and associated undertakings to generate income with which it makes grants, donations and loans to charitable organisations and institutions that fall within the objectives of the charity.

Achievements and performance

The main areas of charitable activity are the provision of financial support to Jewish organisations engaging in education, advancement of religion in accordance with the Jewish faith and to give philanthropic aid to Jewish needy. The demands on the charity’s funds were higher than the previous year, and incoming resources were lower than demands, resulting in a decrease in the charity’s revenue reserves. The Trustees expect the demands to increase in future years resulting in further calls on past reserves.

The charity is reliant on the income from investments, the commercial activities of its subsidiaries and voluntary income from companies connected with the Trustees. Income from voluntary donations and investment income were lower than the previous year. With the demand on funds being higher than last year £7.4m (2024: £2.9m) the charity was able to finance its operations from incoming resources in the current year totalling £2.3m (2024: £2.5m) and the excess was funded from past reserves.

The charity has acquired a functional property and, to date, has spent £4.1m on its development and upgrading for use by the local Jewish community for religious purposes.

GILMOOR BENEVOLENT FUND LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT (continued)

Investments during the year

During the year, the Trustees reviewed the charity’s position in respect of the investment policy and continued to diversify from its traditional investments in property, in view of adverse market conditions. The Trustees continued to use the services of Barclays Wealth to manage the share portfolio. During the year the charity made £1.7m (2024: £1.0m) of revaluation surplus of its investment assets.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Position

The financial position of the Charitable Company and its subsidiaries is satisfactory. At the end of the year £46.2m (2024: £49.5m) was held as unrestricted funds, of which unrealised funds for the group was £12.0m (2024: £11.9m).

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which the Trustees think appropriate after considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity for the next year. The charity’s reserves are represented by unrestricted funds arising from past operating results. The Trustees are satisfied that the present balance of distributable reserves is sufficient to support anticipated expenditure.

Risk Management

The Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties to which the company is exposed, in particular those to the operations and finances of the company; the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the company should those risks materialise.

The principal risks to which the company is exposed are:

The Trustees seek to manage or mitigate such risks wherever possible through such measures as insurance, tenant screening and monitoring, rigorous reviews of acquisition and investment opportunities, external expert advice, monitoring cash and regular monitoring of the economic outlook. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Financial risk management and policies

The charity holds or issues financial instruments in order to achieve three main objectives being:

In addition, various financial instruments (e.g., trade debtors, trade creditors, accruals and prepayments) arise directly from the charity’s operations.

GILMOOR BENEVOLENT FUND LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Credit risk

The charity monitors credit risk closely and considers that its current policies of credit risk checks meets its objectives of managing exposure to credit risk. The charity has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Amounts shown in the balance sheet best represent the maximum credit risk exposure in the event other parties fail to perform their obligations under the financial instruments. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Investment powers and policy

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit provided any moneys are not immediately required for use in connection with any of its objects.

The Trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of the charity and to the reserves policy have operated a policy of keeping available funds in an interest bearing deposit account.

Grant Making Policy

Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the charity. The Trustees are approached for donations by a wide variety of charitable institutions operating all over England (and also abroad). The Trustees consider all requests which they receive and make donations based on the level of funds available. In making Grants and Donations, the Trustees use their personal knowledge of the Institution, its representatives, operational efficiency and reputation. The Trustees monitor the application of the Grants and Donations by meeting with representatives of the Institutions and obtaining information as to the utilisation of funds.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The Trustees monitor the group’s performance progress against its strategic objectives and the financial performance of its operations on a regular basis. Performance is assessed against the strategy and expectations using financial and nonfinancial measures. The most significant KPIs used by the group are as follows:

2025 2024
Grants and donations paid out £7.6m £4.0m
Net rental income £0.5m £0.7m
Dividend income from listed investments £0.4m £0.3m
Listed investments at fair value £11.9m £16.7m
Investment property at fair value £12.1m £11.0m

GOING CONCERN

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory incoming resources.

FIXED ASSETS

The movements in Fixed Assets are fully reflected in Notes 15 and 16 to the Financial Statements.

Land and Buildings

The company's investment properties are included in the Financial Statements at valuation. The properties have been valued by Mr. E Low, a Trustee who has an extensive knowledge of the property sector.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF GILMOOR BENEVOLENT FUND LIMITED

(LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Gilmoor Benevolent Fund Limited (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

OTHER INFORMATION

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report or the Strategic Report included within the Trustees’ Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees who are also the Directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( Continued )

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of nondetection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of timing differences arising from the revaluation of assets classified as investments in the non-charitable subsidiary undertakings. Although the provision has been recognised in accordance with FRS 102, it is expected that the majority of the gains will be gifted for charitable purposes and such tax should not become payable.

There are no deferred tax provisions for the parent charitable company; it is exempt from tax due to its charitable status on the basis that all income and gains will be applied solely for qualifying charitable purposes.
