Objectives
Our objectives are:
to provide a home for permanent residence of Jewish people who are aged, in particular but not exclusively for poor Jewish persons who have been resident in Southport: and
to provide a convalescent home for poor Jewish people; and
at the discretion of the Trustees, to waive the requirement for a beneficiary under either of the above objects to be Jewish; and
to carry on any other charitable work whatsoever which can be advantageously carried on by the Charitable Company.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
On 1 May 2008 the company took over the assets of the Southport Jewish Aged Home, following a resolution to incorporate the charity.
The home continued to be one of the finest Jewish residential homes in the North West and provided a high quality of care and attention from a dedicated team of staff.
The home continues to be reliant upon the goodwill and generosity of its benefactors amongst the Jewish Community.

Independent Examiners Report to the Members of Southport Rest Home
Year Ended 30 April 2025
| report on the account of the company for the year ended 30 April 2025 which are set out on pages 6 — 13.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of Southport Rest Home for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £ 250000 and | am qualified to undertake the examination by being a member of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
¢ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act: ¢ — to follow the procedures laid down in general Direction given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
e to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation from you as 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.
Independent Examiners Statement
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:
-
e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 30 April 2025
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets, and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005).
Cash Flow Statement
The trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 (revised) from including a cash flow statement in the financial statements on the grounds that the company qualifies as small.
Income Receipts from Charitable Activities
Residents Fees and day centre receipts are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when they fall due.
Investments
Investments on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specific purpose and are available as unrestricted funds.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria are charged to the restricted fund.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Motor Vehicles 20% Reducing Balance Computer Equipment 20% Reducing Balance Fixtures & Fittings 15% Reducing Balance
No depreciation is charged in respect of freehold land and buildings, as continuous repair and maintenance work ensures that the value of the property is maintained in excess of book value.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at cost.
Operating Lease Agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
