The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102).

The Foundation was established in 2006 in memory of Dr Benjamin Angel. The objective of the Foundation is to support a range of charitable relief, educational, and medical organisations, and other charitable causes where its contributions can make a real difference. In particular, the Foundation supports charitable projects in the Jewish community, in Israel and in the medical field of which the Trustees believe Benjamin would have been proud, alongside making donations to a wider range of charities.

During 2022, the Foundation made charitable donations in three principal areas. First, in support of Jnetics, the only UK charity devoted to the better management, domestic and prevention of Jewish genetic disorders. Secondly, in Israel the Foundation continued its sponsorship of multi-year Scholarships at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, to support a diverse group of young people training as doctors, along with supporting other charities operating there. Thirdly, to support charities engaged in helping Jews in need in the UK, in the former countries of the Soviet Union and elsewhere through World Jewish Relief and other international charities. The Foundation also supports a range of medical, educational and other charities helping children, the elderly and others in need of care and support.

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)’.

The Trustees aim is that the Foundation should be a reliable long term partner to the charities it supports where that is appropriate. Hence the Trustees seek to maintain reserves at a sufficient level to enable it to do that, largely and wherever possible by making grants out of income and capital gains, and only where appropriate and necessary by making grants out of capital.

Consistent with its reserves policy, the Trustees seek to invest the Foundation s assets with a view to long term income generation and capital appreciation. The greater part of its liquid assets are invested in portfolios under discretionary management with these investment objectives.

The Trustees are extremely proud of the work done by the charities the Foundation supports, in particular Jnetics, and the way in which they responded in 2022 to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and have operated since. They are also extremely proud that additional generations of recipients of its Scholarships at the Hebrew University continue to qualify as doctors.

The Trustees seek to ensure that funds donated at a time many charities have been struggling due to COVID-19, inflation and economic uncertainty are well used. The medical students the Foundation had funded have, in addition to their studies, also give generously of their time to help others. The donations to Jnetics and World Jewish Relief have been targeted to help Jnetics over a period of change and uncertainty, and to relieve the pressures on deprived Jewish communities in Eastern Europe and caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity 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.

During the year, the charity had income of £131,522 (2021: £55,422) and total resources expended of £134,806 (2021: £99,965). Net losses on investment for the year were £342,945 (2021: net gain of £2,658,223) giving fall to a total net movement in funds of £346,229 (2021: £2,613,680). At the year end, charity had a total unrestricted fund of £3,886,634 (2021: £4,232,863). The charity had no restricted funds during the year or the prior year.

Barclays Bank plc, and in a diversified multi-asset Cazenove Fund specifically designed for Charities.
