**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
The Trustees, who are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their annual report with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 of the Accounts and comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Applicable to Charities Preparing their Accounts in accordance with the Financial Report Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) and the Companies Act 2006. This report also represents the Directors Report as required by the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. This report is in accordance with the SORP requirements and exemptions set out for smaller charities.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
St Albans Masorti Synagogue (SAMS) promotes and provides Jewish religious, educational, pastoral, cultural, and social services for its constituent members and associates in Hertfordshire and in the St Albans district area in particular. These services are delivered via its Rabbi, Adam Zagoria-Moffet and a team of lay leaders, staff, and volunteers. The focus of the services is centred at the Synagogue building in St Albans. SAMS is aligned to Masorti Judaism. The Masorti Judaism movement practices traditional Judaism but interprets Jewish teaching in the light of contemporary knowledge and scholarship. It allows gradual change in law and practice, but only if the change is in harmony with Jewish tradition.
The Synagogue's activities and services were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. All physical activities were shut down for much of the year and many transitioned to online, including aspects of religious, cheder, youth and social services. The online services continued throughout the period of the Covid-19 lockdowns and in particular SAMS' Rabbi, Adam Zagoria-Moffet, devised a High Holy Day interactive online and physical programme called "Days of Awesome". This programme, compiled in the form of a rail network route, was set at several levels comprising religious, social and community events. Members were able to access these events online or in person depending on their nature. One outstanding example of the activities under the "Days of Awesome" was the symbolic blowing of a 'Shofar' (a Ram's horn) from the tower of St Albans Cathedral during the High Holy Day festivals. Members gathered in the surrounding park at dusk to listen. It gathered widespread interest from local and national media and was a great example of faith group co-operation within the locality. From 22nd August 2020 the Synagogue reopened for limited regular physical religious services after much health and safety planning to ensure compliance with UK Government requirements. The Cheder returned to physical class teaching in mid-October but this and all other in-person services was suspended once again, moving online, as the UK Government's second lockdown restrictions were introduced from 5th November 2020. Religious services were suspended during the lockdown.
The Synagogue spiritual and lay leadership quickly adapted to providing services and activities online and with much creativity. One example was a Hanukkah tea-party that took place in members' homes, but online. Members received a home-delivery of afternoon tea, and they participated with other members online in parallel. Some members gathered together in groups of six, the maximum number allowed at the time, under government restrictions.
Throughout the year there were numerous cultural and social events; these included a regular book group, coffee mornings, a Communal Seder (Passover), and a quiz evening - all taking place online.
The Care Group of SAMS continued to support vulnerable members of the Community comprising checking-in with vulnerable members (online and in-person), delivering food, medicines and hospital visiting. The Care Group also comforted and supported families during life-cycle events.
SAMS recruited a new Events Coordinator, and the role of Prayer and Ritual Manager became formalised during the year.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The majority of the Charity's income is generated from its members' subscriptions and their additional donations. This year the net membership level remained flat, overall, which was worse than the original budget plan. Some of SAMS' members had been financially affected by the pandemic and the effect of persistent lockdown. Several had requested discounts and/or payment holidays for membership fees. In addition, not holding in-person social and cultural activities, meant that additional income from such events was not generated. These events often are a catalyst for growth as members bring their friends along. This contributed to the levelling off of the static net membership numbers.
The finances continued to be monitored closely as the pandemic progressed. Opportunities for savings costs were maximised wherever possible. As the Synagogue premises were closed, efforts were made to ensure that utilities expenditure was minimised with most electrical appliances switched off, apart from those concerning security. The cleaning and other support contracts were suspended. The Cheder Assistant staff were placed onto the UK Government's job retention scheme (JRS, or furlough). The Rabbi's travel and hosting expenses were halted completely.
The Charity continued to pay down a loan of £100,000 taken out in 2011 over a 10-year period. The principal repayments of £10,000 per annum plus interest was funded by the Charity's reserves.
During summer 2020, the Treasurer's cash flow projections highlighted that the level of reserves at the end of the financial year, in March 2021, were likely to breach the Charity's Reserves Policy threshold throughout the following financial year. The root cause of this was the continuing flat lining of net membership which over the past two years was creating approximately a £50,000 shortfall in available cash. The Reserves Policy threshold had remained unchanged by the Trustees, at £90,000.
This issue was raised to the Trustee Board, and the Finance Committee was instructed to identify a recovery plan. Three key initiatives were recommended to the Board, and accepted:
1. Negotiation of a rent-free period with the synagogue building's landlord, in exchange for extending the lease term.
2. Empowering SAMS' Grant Application Group (SGAG) to re-group and to focus on an intense set of grant applications to provide Covid-19 financial relief for the organization.
3. An internal income generation programme aimed at SAMS members to seek new regular, recurring donations.
Two of the three initiatives were successful. The SGAG committee re-organised itself into a small, but focused group. They were successful in being awarded some £37,000 within the financial year of additional money. The grant-making organisations involved were the National Lottery, Garfield Weston Foundation, The Oakdene Foundation, Masorti Judaism UK, and Shoresh Charitable Trust.
The internal income generation programme ran in December 2020 and January 2021. SAMS' members, between them, raised an additional £10,000 on an annually recurring basis and SAMS also received approximately £7,000 in additional one-off donations.
The re-negotiation of SAMS' building lease remains an ongoing project, which is now also bound up within the rent-review that has commenced.
The successful initiatives have ensured that SAMS reserves will remain above the policy threshold in the current financial year. However, the Trustee Board is aware that further grant applications and additional donations will be necessary to ensure there are sufficient reserves to support the projected budget deficit for the current financial year, and beyond.
However, for financial year 2020-21, the finances were in surplus by £2,935, thanks to the successful outcome of the two initiatives above, together with the cost-savings achieved during the Covid-19 lockdowns.
Last year, the Board set an objective to eradicate the operating financial deficit over the next two to five years. Particular focus remains on a proactive new membership and internal fundraising campaign plus looking at options for reducing some of the material cost items.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
SAMS' governing document is the Articles of Association dated 15th February 2007 and its Constitution last updated in May 2019 by resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting. SAMS is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity (in England). It is managed via a Board of Trustees who are appointed by its members by elections held each year. The Board comprises four Officers (two Co-Chairs, Treasurer and Secretary) and six Trustees. In the year immediately following the appointment of a new Co-Chair, the retiring Co-Chair remains on the Board as Immediate Past Co-Chair. The Constitution sets out the terms for Officers and for respective Trustees. Typically, Officers and Trustees serve for a three-year term. Trustees are eligible to stand for re-election into their posts at the end of two successive terms up to a maximum service period of nine years. Officers may not stand for re-election until a period of at least two years has passed after the expiry of their three-year term of office.
## **Charity constitution**
Constitutionally, the Trustee Board meets at least six times per year and in 2020-21 the Board actually met nine times. The Board also met in July 2020 for a strategic planning event where SAMS' objectives for the coming twelve months were determined. The Board reports to its members at the Annual General Meeting on progress in relation to the objectives.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The Board operates through a series of committees each with an annually approved Terms of Reference. In 2020-21 the committees comprised: Finance, Remuneration, Religious, Health and Safety, Operational, Education, Grant Application, Events and HR/Personnel.
The Board appoints staff to run SAMS' various operational services and activities. The four key staff positions are the Rabbi, the Operational Manager, the Prayer and Ritual Manager and the Community Coordinator. The services provided are also supported by several contract staff, suppliers, and volunteers.
Data Protection Officer (DPO) remains in place, with responsibility to ensure that SAMS' obligations and responsibilities under the GDPR are upheld. The DPO reports directly to the Board.

## **Wider network**
SAMS contributes to Masorti Judaism - the umbrella group for Masorti communities in the UK - and receives various services and support in return. In addition, Masorti Judaism has provided the services of a youth leader from within its Noam youth organisation. The Charity makes monthly contributions to Masorti Judaism for an agreed proportion of the costs of the youth leader. The youth leader provides a focus for the Charity's members' children who participate in Noam from the ages of 9 to 15.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also 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 your charity's accounts as 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**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
