## **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:
- a. The advancement of Orthodox Jewish religious education and education generally and in particular but not exclusively, the advancement of the chartiable activities of the institute.
- b. The advancement of Orthodox Jewish faith.
- c. The relief of the poor, sick and feeble amongst persons of the Jewish faith in any part of the world.
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.

## **Report of the Trustees (continued)**
## **Public Benefit Disclosure**
The charity accomodates to vunerable members of society and individuals with disabilties.
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees retain reserves as necessary and where appropriate, consolidate funds in order to make more substantial grants which they feel to be appropriate.
## **Responsibilities of the Trustees**
Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the Balance Sheet Date, and of its incoming resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year.
In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees should follow best practice and
- a. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- b. Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- c. Follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements.
- d. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them as Trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Law.
The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other regularities.

## **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:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
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:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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.
