Structure, governance and management (continued)
Credit risks
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 risks. Amounts shown in the balance sheet represent the maximum credit 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.
Objectives and activities
Objects
The charity was established for the advancement of religion and religious education in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish Tradition and for the relief of sickness and poverty of persons recognised by any Orthodox Beis Din (Jewish Court of Law) as being a member of the Orthodox Jewish faith.
Activities
The income of the charity is derived from investments and from donations from the trustees and associates. The trustees continued their support of those organisations deemed to promote the objectives of this charity.
The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Achievements and performance
During the period the charity continued its activities in support of religious, educational and other charitable institutions with grants and donations totalling £75,400.
The benefits provided by these institutions include the provision of financial support and basic necessities to the poor, Jewish education and places of worship for the Jewish community.
Financial review
The financial results of the charity for the year are fully reflected in the attached Financial Statements together with the Notes thereon.
The Trustees consider the position of the charity to be satisfactory.
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.
Investment Powers And Policy
In accordance with the trust deed, the charity has the power to make any investments which the trustees see fit. The trustees regularly view the charity's position and needs in respect of the investment policy.

Financial review (continued)
Plans For Future Periods
The charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in forthcoming years subject to satisfactory incoming resources.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the charity and available sources of finance. The Trustees recognise that they have the ability to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities due to the absence of any legally binding obligations.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 26 October 2022 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of MYR Charitable Trust
Year ended 31 December 2021
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of MYR Charitable Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement - matter of concern identified
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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.

MYR Charitable Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 December 2021
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 50 Keswick Street, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, NE8 1TQ.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Judgements and estimates made by the trustees, in the application of these accounting policies have significant effect on the financial statements as follows:
i. Property valuations
The valuation of the charity's property portfolio is inherently subjective, depending on many factors, including the individual nature of each property, its location and expected future net rental values, market yields and comparable market transactions. Therefore the valuations are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of difficult market or economic conditions.
ii. Trade debtors
Management uses details of the age of trade debtors and the status of any disputes together with external evidence of the credit status of the counterparty in making judgements concerning any need to impair the carrying values.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 December 2021
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or committment. There are no designated funds as at the balance sheet date.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds. There are no restricted or endowment funds as at the balance sheet date.
Incoming resources
Investment income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. Income from donations is recognised on receipt.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
Investment property
Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.
Subsequent to initial recognition
-
Investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account in the period that they arise; and
-
No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying the fair value model.
Investment property fair value is determined by the Trustees based on their understanding of property market conditions and the specific property concerned, using a sales valuation approach, derived from recent comparable transactions on the market, adjusted by applying discounts to reflect status of occupation and condition.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
