TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements on page 13 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 2016)

Objectives and activities

Yad Vashem UK Foundation (Yad Vashem UK) shares the objectives of Yad Vashem in Israel.

Yad Vashem, literally in Hebrew "a memorial and a name" is Israel's official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. It is dedicated to preserving the memory of the Jews who were murdered; honouring Jews who fought against their Nazi oppressors, Gentiles who selflessly aided Jews in need; and researching the phenomenon of the Holocaust in particular, and genocide in general, with the aim of avoiding such events in the future. Established in 1953, Yad Vashem is located on the western slope of Mount Herzl. A 44.5 acre complex containing facilities dedicated to the scientific study of the Holocaust, and genocide in general, memorials and museums catering to the needs of the larger public, a research institute with archives, a library, a publishing house, and the International School for Holocaust Studies.

The principal aims and objectives of Yad Vashem UK are to initiate, develop and maintain educational programmes in Holocaust studies and to raise funds for Yad Vashem. This has continued successfully in the year, with great appreciation from students and participants. Since its inception, Yad Vashem has been entrusted with documenting the history of the Jewish people in the Holocaust period, preserving the memory and story of each of the six million victims, and imparting the legacy of the Holocaust for generations to come, through its archives, library, museums, and recognition of the Righteous Among the Nations.

Yad Vashem - The Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, stands as a unifying symbol for Jews all over the world, and as a warning against antisemitism, prejudice, and genocide. It represents the memory, voice, and conscience of the Jewish people - strengthening their commitment to the State of Israel, Jewish continuity and the protection of basic human rights and values worldwide.

Yad Vashem UK’s website can be found at https://www.yadvashem.org/ . The principal office is at 46 Albert Road, London, NW4 2SG.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.

Grants are made annually to Yad Vashem and Yom HaShoah UK. In addition, grants are made, on application, in connection with our Travelling Exhibition programme and in the promotion of Holocaust education in the UK.

Achievements and performance

Holocaust Survivors - Sculptures

Frances Segelman, the renowned international sculptor, is creating a series of sculptures of Holocaust survivors, in commemoration of those who perished, and in recognition of those who survived. As part of a series arranged by Yad Vashem UK, which started with the sculpture of Sir Ben Helfgott, Mata Tribich MBE was sculpted in 2021 and Zigi Shipper BEM, Lily Elbert MBE BEM in 2022. Manfred Goldberg BEM and Marianne Phillips in 2023. Continuing arrangements are being made with Frances for further sculptures of Holocaust survivors to be created by her this year.

Maccabi Fun Run

Yad Vashem UK participated and exhibited in the Maccabi Fun Run in 2022 and will do so again this year.

The Holocaust and Jewish Identity, a Yad Vashem Learning Resource

We previously sponsored the learning resource 'The Holocaust and Jewish Identity’, an innovative portable Yad Vashem resource consisting of ten roll up screens, an educator guide, and a CD, which includes related lesson plans and suggested worksheets for the students. It was produced by top educators at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem. The resource comprises three sections: pre-war Jewish life and identity; Jewish identity during the Holocaust, and finally; post-war Jewish identity - the pain of liberation and the return to life. Workshops are organised for Jewish Schools explaining the workings of the Learning Resource for their use every year around Holocaust Memorial Day and Yom HaShoah.

Annual Teachers Seminar

The UK educators' seminar for teachers in Jewish schools and organisations, sponsored by Yad Vashem UK Foundation, has been held annually since 2010.

Participants take part in an eight-day seminar at the International Schoo! for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem, to assist them in becoming more effective Holocaust educators in the UK and give them the tools to create their own programmes.

They take part in workshops to demonstrate the educational philosophy of Yad Vashem, and to give them assistance in preparing lessons on the Holocaust. Comments on their feedback forms include phrases like “lifechanging’, “unforgettable”, “amazing”, “privileged”, and “enriching”.

The participants include educators and teachers from; JFS, Hasmonean High school, JCoss, King David High Manchester, King David High Liverpool Tribe, UJIA in Glasgow, Rimon Primary School, The Jewish Museum, Immanue College, Bristol and South Wales, Mosaic Jewish Primary, Beit Shvidler Primary School, Independent Jewish Day School, Hasmonean primary. Broughton Cassell Fox Manchester, and the Reform movement.

Due to COVID-19 our Annual Teachers Seminar did not take place in February 2021 or February 2022 as previously planned. The seminar was though resumed in 2023.

Holocaust Memorial Day Appeal

Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), on 27 January each year, Yad Vashem UK Foundation holds a Holocaust Memorial Day Appeal. The appeal for 2022 raised £16,191 and to date the appeal for 2023 has raised £18,172.

Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah Twinning

This project offered to Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah celebrants, twins their special day with a victim of the Holocaust who tragically was unable to celebrate this milestone in Jewish Life. They have an opportunity to research details of the family, learn about their experiences during the Holocaust, research the community they came from, and receive a special certificate from Yad Vashem. We ask that each child then remembers their victim and lights a candle in their memory on Holocaust Memorial Day and/or Yom HaShoah every year.

Schools, synagogues, and communities are approached to promote the Twinning project around the UK. A study guide has been produced that encourages young people to produce a project focused on their Twin who did not have a chance to mark this important event in their short life.

Guardian of the Memory

Yad Vashem UK Foundation's Guardian of the Memory is a project which aims to keep the memory alive of the Jewish victims and to remember each victim as a human being with a name and unique personal story. Our aim is that every Jewish victim has a memorial candle lit in their memory on Holocaust Memorial Day and/or Yom HaShoah. Each year our list of those linking themselves with a victim of the Holocaust grows, and those who have never had commemoration of their 'yahrzeit' now have one annually. There are over 3,300 registered Guardians of the Memory on our database.

Travelling Exhibitions

An extensive travelling exhibition programme, sponsored by us, has been developed, and following the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions previously in force, is continuing at locations around the UK.

RAN Righteous Among the Nations

In a world in which hostility and indifference prevailed, there was a small non-Jewish minority who regarded the Jews as fellow human beings who came within the bounds of their universe of obligation. These individuals mustered extraordinary courage to uphold human values, and to rescue hunted Jews at the risk of their own lives. Rescue took many forms and the Righteous came from different nations, religions and walks of life. They have been recognised by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations.

‘No Child's Play’

Approximately one and a half million of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust were children. This exhibition opens a window into the world of Jewish children in Europe during the Nazi era and aims to tell their story, to explain what it was like to be a child in the Holocaust. Unlike other Holocaust exhibitions it does not focus on history, Statistics, or descriptions of violence. Instead, the toys, games, artwork, diaries, and poems displayed, highlight some of the personal stories of the children, providing a glimpse into their lives during the darkest period of human history in Europe.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

‘The Anguish of Liberation as Reflected in Art 1945-1947'

This exhibition is of works created between 1945 and 1947 and attempts to investigate how survivors reacted to the liberation, through art.

‘BESA, A Code of Honour’

Looks at the 'Righteous Muslims' who sheltered and risked their lives to protect Jewish people, during the time of the Holocaust.

‘BESA' is an Albanian cultural term that translates in English, as 'keeping the promise’. Our exhibition tells the story of the Muslim community of Albania, and their efforts to protect their Jewish neighbours against the Nazi oppressors that occupied the country in 1941. The exhibition comprises a series of panels, each depicting a photo and accompanying text describing the actions and behaviour of the righteous people who saved their neighbours.

‘Art in the Holocaust’

An exhibition that provides a glimpse into art created during the Holocaust, in ghettos, camps, forests, and while in hiding.

‘Spots of Light - Women in the Holocaust’

This exhibition gives expression to the unique voice of Jewish women in the Holocaust: their choices and responses in the face of the evil, brutality, and relentless hardship that they were forced to grapple with.

‘Stars Without a Heaven — Children in the Holocaust’

An exhibition dedicated to the unique stories of children during the Holocaust. In a period when Jewish communities underwent social and familial upheaval, children living in this reality essentially lost their childhood.

‘The Shoah. How was it Humanly Possible?’

This exhibition deals with major historical aspects of the Holocaust, beginning with Jewish life in pre-Holocaust Europe and ending with the liberation of Nazi concentration and extermination camps across the continent, and the remarkable return to life of the survivors.

Yad Vashem UK Annual Online Fundraiser

In January 2023, to coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day on 27 January, Yad Vashem UK held a 36-hour online fundraising campaign "The Holocaust, How Was It Humanly Possible?"raising £113,519.

We get assistance from ‘Champions’ recruited to approach their contacts asking for their financial support. Those contacted are able to log on to a specified link created for the event featuring Yad Vashem UK projects for which we seek support.

CharityExtra, who assist us on this, are experienced operators in crowd giving. The team- based campaign provides ‘Champions’ with their own unique link, goal and individual page.

Assessment of Operational Performance

Financial and operational reports are given at the Board meetings held regularly throughout the year. The financial information provided is based on monthly management Accounts. Particular attention is paid to actual performance against forecast and the sufficiency of liquid resources.

Financial review

Overview

During the year the charity received donations of £444,156 (2021 £472,314) to aid the charity in fulfilling its objectives. The charity used these monies for the promotion of knowledge, and the ideals of Yad Vashem, through lectures, meetings, travelling exhibitions, production of publications, projects, and direct donations of £359,091 (2021 £225,245) to Yad Vashem in Israel.

The charity had a deficit for the year of £126,752 (2021 surplus of £74,224) resulting in net funds at the balance sheet date of £240,260 (2021 £367,012).

The sufficiency of reserves, of £240,260 at 31 July 2022, has been reviewed. Allowing for expected future ongoing financial support, the conclusion is that it will be sufficient to fund continuing operations. Consideration has been given to fixed and semi-variable costs, the events planned to take place within the next 12 months, and the support pledged to Yad Vashem for Holocaust educational projects.

| report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Yad Vashem UK Foundation (the Charity) for the year ended 31 July 2022, which comprises the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that | might state to the charity's trustees those matters | am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, | do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions | have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity (who are also directors for the purpose of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

In carrying out my examination | have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements.

The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently | express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner's statement.

Independent examiner's statement

YAD VASHEM UK FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

Charity information

Yad Vashem UK Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 46, Albert Road, London, NW4 2SG.

The accounts 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 2016). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. There are no material uncertainties regarding going concern.

1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

1.4 Income Income from donations or grants is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

-13-

YAD VASHEM UK FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

(Continued)

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

1.5 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets comprise website development costs.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Website Costs

40% per annum on net book value

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Plant and machinery 40% per annum on net book value Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% per annum on net book value

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured at the lower of replacement cost and cost.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.10 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.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1. Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.13 Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in net income/(expenditure) for the period.

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.
