## Chair Statement
TIKVA literally translated as HOPE, has been around for well over 20 years.
“In 2003, when my acutely autistic son Nussi was 23 years old, I found myself desperately lacking emotional and practical support. My friend and peer Mrs Toby Perelman felt the same, and so we decided to found Tikva, to bring Hope to ourselves and other beleaguered families in similar situations. We formed a local network of families who were caring 24/7 for a loved one with severe learning/emotional disabilities, including Autism, Downs-syndrome, Aspergers, Cerebral Palsy, developmental delay etc., oft coupled with physical challenges. Amazingly, we have continued delivering that, plus so much more, over two decades later.”
Tikva is the sunshine that brings light, warmth, support, respite, growth and social connection to both strands of our users – the disabled young people/adults and their parent-carers. No wonder they claim we are their lifeline!

## Mission statement
TIKVA aims to improve the quality of life of young people/adults with disabilities and their parent-carers from the community by providing wraparound support and access to exciting tailor-made activities and new experiences.
Operating in our community since 2003, we have become recognized as the goto for support and respite and have succeeded in changing the face of our local community, giving disabled adults and their caregivers a network of friends and support. We have created an environment where nobody needs to face their challenges alone.
## Our Vision
To support Young people and adults with a wide range of emotional/learning and/or physical disabilities. TIkva provides a comprehensive program of extra-curricular activities designed to positively occupy them in a nurturing and secure environment thus increasing their life-experiences and broadening their horizons, while parents and families simultaneously get a vital breather.
Advocacy and referral services, where necessary, to guide users to access further information and support.
To support the ageing parent-carers and families of any adult/s with disabilities in the community, both physically and emotionally by actively reducing the effects of poverty, providing respite, social and wellbeing opportunities, plus a platform for them to network and gain peer support, thereby preventing burnout and breakdown.
To combat the cost-of-living crises and local poverty by providing food-vouchers and highly-subsidized activities for all our users.
To provide a gamut of wellbeing and social opportunities tailor-made to the individual needs, abilities and disabilities of all our users.
## Our Values
To provide quality out-of-hours provision with specialised activities for our users with disabilities to encourage them to learn new skills, make new friends and develop their utmost potential. The friendship needs of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) are largely ignored, perhaps due to their communication difficulties. We at Tikva seek to change this and bring light and meaning to their world.
Parent-carers should carve out a life for themselves completely undefined by their caring roles, social and financial barriers.
Tikva’s users hail from Hackney, a vibrant place with diverse communities and many creative centres but where many residents live in poverty, isolation and poor health. Additionally, they face cultural barriers, belonging to an ethnic minority. Mayhew report 2011: “a community of great need lacking the resources to provide the so called “extras” that are needed to enhance the challenging lives of the most disadvantaged of this growing minority, which includes our target group.”
Our emphasis is therefore on highlysubsidized activities and we do not refuse anyone due to financial, or other, considerations. Thus, we have literally become a lifeline to the 50+ families we support. Besides being on low income and means-tested benefits, many also struggle with social issues like family breakdown or the loss of a loved one and turn to Tikva for full support.
In a survey by Sense, over three quarters (77%) of disabled adults reported feeling lonely. Loneliness is associated with physical and mental health problems and poorer quality of life. Participation in social activities for these older adults with disabilities can increase their happiness, satisfaction, self-confidence and morale.
## Our Activities
Weekly Saturday night clubs where disabled young people shine, whilst enjoying handson-activities, healthy eating and interactive singing and dancing sessions with famous singers.
Day trips during off-school days for disabled young people, offering stimulating tailormade activities and providing opportunities to broaden their horizons and develop new skills, giving them a sense of joy and fulfilment plus simultaneously providing vital respite for their disadvantaged families.
Short breaks to positively occupy disadvantaged young people during school holidays whilst giving parents and families a vital breather and a chance to recharge.
A range of fitness and wellbeing activities including aerobics, aquarobics, cycling and arttherapy designed to support parent-carers physically and emotionally as they (and their charges) age - and their caring role intensifies.
Full-day pampering retreat and an inspirational social event for parent carers providing relaxation, recreation, validation, networking and social opportunities.

## Testimonials
“All week long after the art-therapy session, I felt calmer and did not get stressed about things that usually bother me!”
(Mrs R-Mom of Leslie, age 41)
Mrs J is a 60-year-old mother who has difficulty walking as a hip replacement left her with on leg shorter than the other. Her son is learning disabled and suffers from cerebral palsy. He is non-verbal. Please allow me to quote her:
“I felt very isolated looking after my son, Joe. I did not encourage neighbours and friends to come round as I could not trust my son Joe to behave and sometimes the state of the house left much to be desired. A relative urged me to join her at the Tikva art therapy sessions, social events and coping strategy sessions. Because all the other attendees were in the same boat as myself, for the first time I felt understood and allowed myself to relax; eventually I got rid of the awful feeling of being stigmatised, and made wonderful friends. I am disabled and have a car. I now regularly visit my friends with my son or they come to us. My quality life has completely changed.
Mrs J
**TIKVA Trustees’ report For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **• Policies and objectives**
The charity’s aims are to provide social, leisure and developmental benefits to young people and adults with learning disabilities and support and respite for their families.
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)’.
## **• Strategies for achieving objectives**
The Charity provides high quality activities for the parent-carers as well as activities for their adult children with disabilities during school holidays and weekends throughout the year. Projects run during the year are described below. Tikva is an ongoing lifeline to both the ageing parent-carers and to their adult children with disabilities.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **• Main achievements of the Charity during the year**
This year continued to be challenging for both groups of Tikva’s users. Although COVID 19 is in the past, our users still continued to be affected by long term negative fallout as a result of the difficulties they had been through including illness, curtailing and adapting activities and the serious lack of normal social contact for such an extended period of time. Tikva had done its best continue to mitigate those effects and has seen great improvements for both our groups of users, resulting from our providing as broad a menu of activities as possible. During the year, the activities, performance and achievements of the Charity were as follows:
Activities for parent carers of adult children with disabilities:
- Stress management events. The parent carers enjoyed a variety of relaxing and therapeutic events that went a long way in relieving stress and improving mental and emotional wellbeing.
- Art therapy has continued over the year. The feedback continues to be very positive and enthusiastic, and users report that it is the highlight of their week.
- Social events and trips (aimed at relieving the pressures and combating the social isolation that comes with caring for their adult children with disabilities) took place throughout the year.
- ‘Tikva Newsletter’ produced twice a year, a valuable source of information and interaction between users.
- Aquarobic and aerobic classes continued, contributing to improvements in carers’ both physical and emotional good health.
- The very popular cycling classes where parent carers learn this skill at their own pace, have continued. They are as popular as ever.
- Food vouchers were distributed over the year, and helped to mitigate the ongoing cost of living crisis for our over stretched parent carers.
## **TIKVA Trustees’ report For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Activities for adults with disabilities:**
- The much anticipated and very successful yearly respite away from home took place in Northumberland.
- The Weekly Weekend clubs took place regularly throughout the year, with lots of exciting and interesting activities, enabling users to enjoy social contact while engaging in a variety of activities including music and dance, and other undertakings designed to improve users’ independent living and social skills, as well as their physical and emotional wellbeing. At the same time, their families benefitted from urgently required respite and a welcome breather!
- 8 Day trips during school holidays took place and were greatly enjoyed by users, broadening their horizons and also improving their physical and emotional wellbeing.
## **Financial review**
## **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.
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees aim to build up free reserves to a level of at least 3 months running costs. This is to act as a cushion to protect services in the event of a time limited grant ending before having secured funding from a new source.
## **Financial Review**
The Trustees were gratified that the charity succeeded in raising £130,353 for charitable purposes during the year, still abiding by our reserves policy of having at least 3 months operating costs in hand, and a slight increase on the previous year. A significant part of the Charity’s income is from grants from Trusts and Foundations. The trustees would like to thank all grant makers and generous donors who enabled Tikva’s important work with an excluded and greatly disadvantaged group to take place, including LB Hackney, City Bridge Trust, Garfield Weston and the Foyle Foundation.
To all of our donors, both private individuals and charitable trusts, thank you for your financial contribution and for your encouragement which gives us the impetus to continue with our vital work.
**TIKVA Trustees’ report For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **Constitution**
Tikva is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Constitution.
## **Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The constitution requires that the number of trustees shall not be less than three or more than nine. The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the existing trustees. New trustees are recruited on the basis of their competence, specialist skills, and those who are able to promote the objectives of the Charity. New trustees are appointed by a resolution of the Trustees, which is recorded in the minutes and signed by one trustee. New trustees are inducted into the workings of the Charity by the current Trustees.
## **Organisational structure**
The Trustees are responsible for governance of the organisation, and the Chair and Treasurer are active in all operational aspects of strategic management. Day to day management of activities and projects are the responsibility of the Project Coordinator with the support of the Trustees.
## **Plans for future periods**
The needs of our client group are steadily increasing. As the adults with disabilities are growing older, their care is becoming more challenging, both physically and emotionally. At the same time, the ageing and struggling parent-carers are facing their own escalating health issues, many of which are the result of a lifetime of daily unremitting and grueling physical and emotional exertion. Tikva has also seen its client group expand to include new users. In addition, we are now providing services to younger clients who have now reached adulthood and require our support, and this age group promises to continue to grow.
Tikva plans to maintain and consolidate its vital supporting role by continuing to provide the above services and to expand its activities to be appropriate for the different age groups of the users, and to include all those who need them. Tikva has built strong relationships with its statutory and other funders, and is constantly looking for new funding opportunities to enable the organisation to grow and flourish.
Tikva has seen the number of its users increase significantly during the year and anticipates that this upward trend will continue. It plans to continue to explore new avenues of growth, both with users and with a greater variety of activities, despite the increasingly challenging fundraising climate.
**TIKVA Trustees’ report For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities**
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).

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

**TIKVA Independent examiner’s report For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Tikva (‘the Company’)**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 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**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 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.
## **TIKVA Independent examiner’s report For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
This report is made solely to the Charity’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 Charity’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 Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Mrs Jona Perelman (Trustee) Date: 28/5/2026
The notes on pages 16 to 21 form part of these financial statements.
**TIKVA Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **1.1 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 Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Tikva 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.
## **1.2 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.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
## **1.3 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.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
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.
## **TIKVA Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2025**
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Support costs are allocated to the activity they related to. Shared support costs are apportioned across activities based on the use of those resources.
## **1.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL 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, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Plant and machinery - 25%
## **1.5 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.
