CHAVERIM YOUTH ORGANISATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 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 is established to promote the advancement of education, and in particular amongst the Jewish children under the age of eighteen in the United Kingdom so as to;

  1. Provide curricula and supplementary education programmes for young people;

  2. Provide vocational educational support to young people;

  3. Provide a range of recreational, social, sporting and artistic programmes for young people.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

During the year, Chaverim provided a range of programmes to young people. This included Leadership training, Mentoring & Befriending programmes, after school recreational programmes, summer and winter residential programmes as well as the regular sporting programmes and counselling opportunities for our young people. The residential programmes give the young people the opportunity to develop their independence and self confidence in a fun and friendly way.

Our numbers have stayed the same at 1,300 young people taking advantage of what we offer. As well as our education support programmes which help young people to stay in full time education and supports them through their exam periods to improve their grades, the charity also continues its work around the 16-18 year old group by getting them more involved and offering wider opportunities both in education and sports for these young people.

All the programmes are lead by very experienced staff and volunteers and young leaders who have come off our leadership training programme.

In total more than 1,000 children are members of our organisation and attend the programmes on a regular basis.

The Yachad Supplementary School programme continued throughout the year offering classes to young people in out of school hours and we started our new after school Achim Programme.

Overall the charity continues to gain from a big volunteering input and has managed to widen its focus despite the economic downfall. We are proud in having involved so many young people in our programmes which has been down to the success of the charity work.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserve of the charity, at a level which the Trustees think appropriate considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity next year.

During the period under review the charity received generous donations and grants amounting to £196,840 (2020: £76,522).

As at 31 December 2021, the charity's unrestricted funds were in surplus by £42,823 (2020: £3,714) and the charity's restricted funds were in surplus by £2,212 (2020: £16,616).

FUTURE PLANS

There are no current plans to change the activities or modus operandi in the foreseeable future.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHAVERIM YOUTH ORGANISATION

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of CHAVERIM YOUTH ORGANISATION

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of CHAVERIM YOUTH ORGANISATION (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts 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.
