Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
Objectives and activities
The charity is established to promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the members of the Orthodox Jewish community and in particular the advancement of education and the relief of poverty, sickness, hardship and distress.
The charity receives income mainly from its property investments and charitable receipts under gift aid, which it utilises in the provision and distribution of grants and donations.
The charity's principal activity throughout the year was the provision and distribution of donations and grants to organisations, and no change is envisaged in the immediate future.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Strategic report
The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.
Achievements and performance
During the year the charity continued to pursue its philanthropic objects in support of educational, religious and other charitable organisations. Income from investments and donations aggregated £96,292 (2024: £85,180). Total resources expended were £170,955 (2024: £53,549), including donations to charitable institutions of £106,000. There was also a gain upon the disposal of an investment property of £13,228, resulting in a net deficit of £61,435 (2024: surplus £31,631).
Financial review
The financial results of the charity's activities for the year to 31 March 2025 are fully reflected in the attached Financial Statements together with the Notes thereon.
Reserve Policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which include 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 costs of the charity for the next year. At 31 March 2025 the charity had free reserves of £12,937 with unrestricted funds aggregating £1,237,507.
Grant Making Policy
Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the charity.
The trustees are approached for donations by a wide variety of charitable institutions operating all over England. The trustees consider all requests which they receive and make donations based on the level of funds available.

Plans for future periods
The trustees plan to continue to make distributions in accordance with their grant making policy, to ensure that the ability to generate sufficient income is maintained to achieve that end and that an appropriate level of reserves is maintained. In determining the level of charitable grants and donations that the company may make, the trustees consider the income available for such purposes from its investment properties.
Risk Management
The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is New Burlington House, 1075 Finchley Road, London, NW11 0PU.
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 Companies Act 2006
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
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Although the charity incurred a deficit during the year, the trustees have reviewed its financial position and are satisfied that it remains financially resilient, with sufficient net assets to meet its obligations. The decision to make donations remains at the disgression of the trustees, and therefore the trustees have no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Judgements made by the directors in the application of these accounting policies that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are as follows:
(i) Property valuation
The valuation of the charity's investment 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 and other debtors
The trustees use 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.

Year ended 31 March 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account. They are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restricted conditions imposed by donors. There are no restricted funds as at the Balance Sheet date.
Designated funds are funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. There are no designated funds as at the Balance Sheet date.
Incoming resources
All 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. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
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.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are recognised initially at cost.
Subsequent to initial recognition -
-
(i) Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in the income and expenditure account in the period that they arise; and
-
(ii) 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 professional valuations, their understanding of property market conditions and the specific properties 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.
Acquisitions and disposals of properties
Acquisitions and disposals of properties are considered to take place at the legal completion and are included in the financial statements accordingly.
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 paable 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.
4. Limited by guarantee
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
