Report of the Trustees

Status and Administration

The Charity, constituted by a trust deed dated 9 June 2006, is a registered charity.

Trustees

The Trustees in office throughout the year were Mr. S Eisner and Mr. M Grunhut.

No trustee nor any person connected with them received any remuneration during the year.

Charitable Objects

The objects of the charity are:

During the year the charity made use of its obtained funds and reserves, of which £35,418 (2023: £69,828) was donated to the organization in Israel, which comprises 73% of total donations £57,413 made (2023: 97,887).

It is envisaged that similar progress will ensue in the following year.

Donations received

Donations received during the year amount to £34,467 (2023: £108,958).

However, the charity had significantly reduced reserves including £3,752 in the bank as at 1 April 2024 which will be used mostly to support the Ora Vesimcha institution in Israel.

The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves held by the charity and intend on making use of theseto cover its costs, activities and future grants in accordance of, and in furtherance to the Charity's Objects.

Grants and Donations

None of this valuable work would be possible without the ongoing support of our funders who have faith in our organisation.

These funds have enabled us to provide the much needed support to the Institutions and beneficiaries.

The recipients of our services continuously express their appreciation and admiration to all members of the public that assist us in delivering vital services.

We are proud to state that the funds are being utilized to provide maximum benefit possible to as many beneficiaries as possible.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees

I report on the financial statements of Ora Vesimcha for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Respective Responsibilities of Governors and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

  4. have not been met; or

  5. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the Charities Act (Accounts and Reports) 2011, and the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (Effective April 2008), and follow the recommendations in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (Issued March 2005).

Rental Income received for the general and main purposes of the Charity is included as unrestricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

Donations and Grants for activities restricted by the donors are taken to restricted funds if the wishes and conditions of the donor are legally binding on the Trustees.

Resources Expended

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis. Certain expenditure is apportioned to cost categories based on estimated amount attributable to that activity in the year. These estimates are based on the time and level of activity as appropriate.

Management and administration costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates.

Support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
