## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the year 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
The objectives of the charity are to advance and promote the Jewish religion in accordance with the teachings and practices of Orthodox Judaism and the provision and maintenance of an orthodox synagogue situated in or near Hampstead Garden suburb, London, NW11, for the purposes of public worship, conducting religious services and providing religious education.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives**
Activites undertaken to achieve objectives include creating events to promote Jewish religion and making donations to other charities meeting basic and immediate needs in their communities.
## **c. Main activities undertaken to further the company's purposes for the public benefit**
The synagogue has continued to hold services on Sabbaths and festivals throughout much of the year. Income from hall rentals and other income have increased thoughout the year as the synagogue has returned to more normal operating levels.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Main achievements of the company**
Membership remained strong and in line with prior years.
The community was able to support local neighbours who are struggling financially with assistance.
The Trustees have been in negotiation with the landlords – the PCC of St Jude on the Hill, following their decision not to renew our lease after having only just actively encouraging us to spend substantial monies on levelling the land beside the building, and despite the Archdeacon’s view that “the presence of the Minyan is not only good for the parish in terms of its relationship with the local community, but also a very good fit in terms of use of the Church rooms.” Both the change of mind and the actions of the PCC were a great disappointment to us following the previous excellent and co-operative relationship between the communities.
We have taken legal advice from a KC with a view to issuing proceedings against the landlord, although our ardent hope was that the PCC would reconsider our proposal for shared use of the building, allowing both communities to co-exist, and securing our future. After the year end, we managed to secure an agreement to share the building until October 2026, where we only have use on the specified dates that we need, at a substantially reduced rent, with the PCC now responsible for repairs and maintenance. So far, this arrangement is working very well and both sides are working to re-establish the relationship.
## **b. Review of the year**
Income from donations and charitable activities decreased by over £55,000 from 2024.
Total expenditure has decreased compared to 2024 due to a decrease in the annual depreciation charge of (2024: 23,069) in relation to the building which is a non cash expense and a rent forgiveness was received.
During the year, there was an excess of expenditure over the income of £3,439 (2024: £11,942), the decrease is mainly due to the depreciation charged on the building.
At the year end, the cash at bank was £13,580 and the charity had net assets of £9,449.
## **Financial Review**
## **a. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The charity has borrowed substantial sums, in the form of interest free loans, to allow it to complete the refurbishment of the building. It, therefore, intends to accumulate sufficient reserves, from operating surpluses and donations, to enable it to pay these loans over the lifetime of the lease. With the exception of this requirement, its policy is to hold reserves at the lowest level commensurate with the smooth running of its activities.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
Central Square Minyan is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 14 September 2004 with charity number of 1106681.
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The Articles of Association provide for the annual appointment and retirement of trustees. At present, all the members of the company are also its trustees and have been re elected each year. The current trustees anticipate broadening the membership and the appointment of further trustees when required and in response to expansion in the company's operation and activity.
## **Plans for future periods**
Children's services introduced in October 2015 continue to be a great success and several new families have joined the Minyan thanks to these children's services.
We have continued our engagement with Rabbi Raphael Zarum as our Scholar in Residence (which is a programme funded by private donations).

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Central Square Minyan ('the company')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 June 2025.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the Trustees of the company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.

This report is made solely to the company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

**CENTRAL SQUARE MINYAN (A Company Limited by Guarantee)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **1. General information**
Central Square Minyan is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number, charity number and registered office are shown on page 1.
The financial statements have been presented in GBP which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
## **2. Accounting policies**
## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Central Square Minyan meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **2.2 Going concern**
The charity has minimal fixed costs, with the main source of expenditure being grants made to institutions which can be made at the discretion of the Trustees. Furthermore, the charity had a healthy cash balance and a positive net assets at the year end.
The accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
Page 11
**CENTRAL SQUARE MINYAN (A Company Limited by Guarantee)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.3 Income**
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the company's accounting policies.
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
## **2.4 Expenditure**
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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025**
## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
- Short-term leasehold property Depreciated on a straight line basis over the period of the lease
## **2.6 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **2.7 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **2.8 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
## **2.9 Financial instruments**
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **2.10 Operating leases**
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
## **2.11 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
