## **STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE** 

Misgav is governed by its Trust Deed dated February 2006, which states the object of improving the lives  of disabled women. The charity is an unincorporated registered charity – registration number 1125362. 

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the governance and overall management of the organisation.  The trustees who served the charity during the period were: 

Mrs Yutta Domb Mrs Toby Berger 

Mrs Katalin Tesler Mrs Zeldy Frankel 

Day-to-day management of activities is carried out by the Director, supported by Project Managers, a  Finance Manager and administrative support. Misgav’s activities are supervised and run by 9 part-time  employees, 2 full-time employees, 65 sessional staff as well as 25 dedicated volunteers. 

The Trust Deed requires that the number of Trustees shall not be less than three, and no more than  seven. The power to appoint new Trustees is vested in the existing Trustees. New Trustees are recruited  for their competence, specialist skills and ability to promote the objectives of the Charity. New Trustees  are appointed by the resolution of the Trustees, which is recorded in the minutes and signed by a  Trustee. New Trustees are given induction and appropriate training by the current Trustees. 

## **OBJECTS** 


Our primary, overarching aim continues to be to improve the lives of disabled women, supporting them  in developing their life skills, improving their health and wellbeing, and enhancing their opportunities to  lead a safe and fulfilling life while achieving their individual potential. 

Misgav’ s secondary aim is to continue to support users’ parent-carers and family members, by providing  them with essential regular respite from their ongoing, increasingly stressful task as caregivers, as both  they and their daughters grow older. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The trustees have reviewed the charity’s aims, objectives and future plans, and confirm that they comply  with the public benefit guidance as published by the Charity Commission. 

**3** 




The previous financial year 21/22 marked a big leap forward; we extended our day programme and our wellbeing provision; we added new sessions to the respite offer, and our plan was to keep up the  momentum. We set out into the 22/23 financial year with equally ambitious plans for securing our first  Supported Living facility; creating a community hub to house most of our programmes, reducing the need  to travel to different venues; and providing enrichment sessions for our young sessional staff and  volunteers. We did not succeed in overcoming all the hurdles in our path to implementing those in 22/23,  but as we look back onto the epic journey, we are proud of what we did succeed in  achieving. We can say that our efforts and preparatory work have laid solid foundations for those long- term projects which will transform Misgav and the way we serve our disabled users, their carers, and the  wider community of young people who gain work experience with us. 

^  ⃣ Our first and greatest achievement of 22/23 was that we were able to sustain the programmes  we had extended in the previous year. This was a real challenge in the prevailing climate, with  the cost-of-living crisis blindsiding the sector just as we started to regain some equilibrium from  the pandemic crisis. As the costs of food, fuel and energy started to soar with inflation, running  costs of our activities started rising too, while the real value of social care packages from local  authorities decreased drastically. Those packages were rarely adequate before Covid-19 struck  and never caught up with the changing (and increasing) needs of the disabled women we serve  and their families. We have protected our services; however, we are still on a journey of  increasing and diversifying income, helping families to access adequate social care benefits, and  reducing costs wherever possible without compromising the quality of our services. 

^  ⃣ Getting adequate social care benefits for our users is essential for their quality of life, a right  which is legally protected. In practice, it takes enormous logistical effort by Misgav staff to  ensure that this right is respected. 

^  ⃣ We are now a recognised Hackney day service provider which requires Misgav to comply with all  quality assurance procedures, hence we have expanded our monitoring of co-set user targets as  well as worked on the efficiency of that data recording. These changes required additional  development of our CRM database which we are unrolling at a staggered rate because of the  hefty costs of working with external consultants and developers. 

^  ⃣ We have laid solid foundations for our CQC application for the Supported Living facility. Various  options for accommodation were scouted, costed and discussed with parents and other  stakeholders. While this year we cannot announce more, all the research work and even ‘dead  end’ options that we have explored are adding to the learning process on this project. These  lessons will help us ensure that the accommodation we choose is fit for purpose and suits users’  needs best. 

^  ⃣ Together with the entire local community and friends beyond London, we exceeded our  £100,000 target in our first ever community fundraising campaign.

**I.** Secure a site for supported living, increase staff capacity to coordinate the planning and Phase 1  of the project. Start Care Quality Commission application process. 

**II.** Step up advocacy for adequate social care support, both supporting individuals and exploring  ways for the experiences of our disabled users to be heard at the local and national level. 

**III.** Look into cost effective measures and more agile ways of transforming programmes to respond  to the cost-of-living crisis. Find new ways of supporting disabled users and staff affected by the  crisis, especially rising food poverty. 

**IV.** Increase staff capacity and restructure the employment programme to secure more work placement partnerships and 1:1 volunteer support in this area, helping users extend their work  hours and be provided with greater variety in their work areas of placement. 

**V.** To create a dedicated role for training, upskilling and increasing employability of volunteers and  young sessional support staff. Because our entire operation depends on our volunteers and  sessional staff, we want to ensure that they get individualised, targeted support to enable them  to reap maximum benefit from their work experience with Misgav.

In the current unstable fundraising climate, where organisations are challenged to respond to the unprecedented food and fuel poverty, Misgav is extremely grateful for each individual donation and grant. 

The National Lottery Community Fund, City Bridge Trust, Lloyds Bank Foundation and the Postcode Society have funded us previously; we feel most honoured that they have chosen to work with us again.  Their investment in our work has helped us enormously in enabling us to focus on Misgav’s most pressing  needs. 



We are most grateful to Sport England for their multi-grant support from the Queen’s Platinum Jubilees  Activity Fund, and also via the visionary, disability-focussed programme - Together Fund. The Together  Fund not only provided us with much needed funding for our sports activities - it also opened new ways of  networking and learning opportunities by way of the charities managing the grant: Disability Rights UK,  EMDUK (the national governing body for group exercise) and our longterm partner the Interlink  Foundation. 

The Joseph and Lilian Sully Foundation has been our long-standing supporter, and we are so privileged to  be a beneficiary of their trust and encouragement. 

It was a pleasure to work for the first time with: 

- The Access Foundation on our employment and IT upskilling. 

- The London Community Foundation who through the Together For London fund supported 

- our  Warm hub and Mental Health support 

- Compass Wellbeing on Mental Health support for Barnet users 

- Locality on employability 

We want to extend our gratitude to: Hackney Giving, Medicash Foundation, De Brye Charitable Trust, Bentley Motors, CLA Charitable Trust, Action Funder, Boshier Foundation and Alpkit Foundation. 

Once again, a big thank you to everyone from the community and beyond who donated to our Charidy  Campaign.

## **TRIBUTE TO OUR LATE TRUSTEE MRS BINAH HIRSCHLER** 

_Remembering our late Trustee, Mrs Binah Hirschler, fills us with an aching feeling of pain, for a void that  can never be filled. In her unique role as parent and trustee, her guidance was invaluable and priceless,  yet so selfless._ 

_Mrs Hirschler inspired our growth from Misgav’s inception until her recent passing on 28 January 2021._ 

## **HER INPUT INTO MISGAV’ S GROWTH** 

**As a mother of a Misgav participant,** she was the voice and thoughts of all Misgav’s parents. Parents  trusted and adored her for her outstanding sensitivity. She shaped our provisions by telling us what the  real needs are. 

**In her regal way,** she would often pick up the phone and share both praise and constructive criticism,  which was particularly useful in providing a link to siblings’ feelings. 

Mrs Hirschler introduced us to the Learning Disabilities team at Hackney and the value of social care.  She had many useful contacts there, as well as in the fundraising field as a past fundraiser. 

Mrs Hirschler was a great believer in our residential projects – she even offered to cook for them so we  could keep costs down. 

## **HER VISION FOR MISGAV** 

Mrs Hirschler wanted to see our Supported Living project up and running. Unfortunately, we were not  ready to set it up yet when she so badly needed it. We hope to name the supported living facility, currently in the planning stages, in her memory. 

## **RIVKY LANDAU – COORDINATOR OF THE COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN** 

## **THE CHARIDY CAMPAIGN IN MAY WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.** 

We got Misgav’s name out beyond the local disability community and now many people know about the  charity and the full offer of our activities. 

Because it was the first time Misgav was running a community fundraising campaign, the workload was  quite heavy. As all staff pitched in to help, things were under control. We managed to get 4,165 donors and raised over **£100,000!** 

Misgav parents, staff, and volunteers as well as many of our disabled users devoted themselves and gave  away their time to reach their goals and surpass them. Many of our staff members really outdid  themselves - well done! 

The atmosphere was great, and the morale was high as the entire Misgav family worked together to get  Misgav over our initial goal of £100,000!  We recalled the day of the campaign;  what stood out was the excitement but also a feeling of calm, knowing that the community will come  through for us -  and you all did!

Over this past year, there have been remarkable and positive advancements to our daytime and  respite services.

Beth, aged 24 who is learning disabled and on the autistic spectrum, joined our IT course having had  minimal access to a computer. We provided her with a tailormade programme to start learning the  basic functions of Microsoft Office. Beth enjoys making comprehensive and aesthetic Power Point presentations and has learnt how to carry out google searches effectively for her projects. Another  outcome of the IT course for Beth was that it reduced her acute isolation, now that she can keep in  contact with friends via email. She has learnt how to send emails, communicating professionally. ‘I like using email because I can be in contact with my friends at a time that is convenient for me and for  them.’ Expanded forms of communication have been an opportunity for Beth to widen her social  network and  improve communication skills. They have played an important role as Beth prepares to  take on external job placement opportunities. 


‘Before Sarah joined Misgav’ s work placements programme, she had nothing to do with her day and felt  very unfulfilled and discouraged. Now, not only does she have what to do; she is thriving from the connections she has made with her employers and colleagues at her workplaces . Their work  expectations infuse her with confidence and make her feel like a valued part of the working society. The  fulfilment she is getting from her work, as well as the genuine compliments she receives, really boost her  mood and self-esteem. 

We would be at a total loss if not for this excellent and well-managed programme - we are so grateful!’ 

**Mother of Sarah, Autistic user, aged 25**

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

This financial year (April 2022- March 2023) we have continued seeing an increase in the demand on our  services compounded with the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis and the impact of increased activities’ delivery costs. 

Misgav’s income increased by £222,049. This is a remarkable accomplishment given the economic and fundraising climate. We have achieved this partly as a result of our first, very successful, community fundraising campaign which provided net income of £99,581. 

We also increased our income from the Local Authorities’ LD Services by £153,247 as result of advisory support to families and advocacy on their behalf in revisions of care plans and in securing for the first time social care support that our users are entitled to. 

Our grant/trusts funding decreased compared to last year by £22,651 but this was offset by restricted funds of £41,440 carried over from grants secured last year for this financial year’s expenditure. Overall, the grants/trusts fundraising income remains stable at £192,706 despite pressure on funds reported by funders and shifts to more welfare/crisis focussed fundings. 

Our expenditure rose by £192,109. The rise in expenditure was due to: extending staff capacity to ensure continuity of service quality and safety, bringing up sessional staff’s wages in line with responsibilities, costs of onboarding new users, our move to a bigger office with associated equipment purchases, a significant increase in delivery and associated support costs especially for sports and arts (45% increase) and residentials (75% increase) and extending our mental health/wellbeing support in line with growing needs. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustees aim to maintain free reserves at a level of 3-6 months’ running costs. Last year the level of free reserves was 5 months of running costs. The cash value of reserves this year remained the same as last year at £185,747 but due to increase of annual expenditure now stands at 3.4 months’ of running costs.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Misgav Trust (‘the charity’)  for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in  accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section  145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable  Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 


## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body  listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination  because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW),  which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in  connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the  form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations  2008 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.
