MITZVAH DAY UK CHARITABLE TRUST
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).
Status
The charity is a charitable trust and was set up in August 2008. The trust was given charitable status by the Charity Commissioners in September 2008, registration number 1125682.
Objectives and activities
The charity’s objectives are to promote good citizenship by encouraging and facilitating volunteering opportunities in furtherance of charitable causes for the benefit of the public, principally but not exclusively amongst the Jewish community, and to build social cohesion.
Mitzvah Day exists to bring people of all faiths and backgrounds together through hands-on social action projects, primarily on one collective day of action each year in November. It is proudly Jewish-led, and whilst over 90% of our 2,250 or so UK-based projects are run by Jewish groups, it has also become a prominent vehicle for Jewish-led interfaith activity.
Our key objectives are to steadily grow and continually improve Mitzvah Day, to keep the brand alive throughout the year in order to strengthen the core of the charity and to encourage year-round community building & social cohesion and act as a springboard for year-round social action, and to develop and action a fundraising plan to enable growth and organisational development.
As a charity we want to encourage as many people as possible to take part in social action projects to help others. Social action projects make a vital difference to the world around us and can include a wide variety of activities. Mitzvah Day projects, primarily held on or around Mitzvah Day itself in November, offer a range of projects, examples of which follow:
-
Friendship projects such as visiting care homes,
-
Eco-projects such as tree planting and litter picks,
-
Collection projects such as food collections for local food banks, clothing collections, and stationery collections,
-
Appreciation projects such as writing letters to hospital workers, support staff, fire service workers, etc.,
-
Care projects such as making and distributing essential supplies to rough sleepers,
-
Art and crafts activities including making dog toys for animal rescue centres,
-
Cooking projects to make food to be donated to night shelters and refuge centres,
-
Upcycling projects such as making tote bags out of t-shirts.
The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
Achievements and performance
Mitzvah Day 2024 took place against a backdrop of ongoing global and societal challenges. In response, we reaffirmed our core values – the resolute belief that through social action and by working together, we can create a more just and compassionate world.
As always, we invited people of all faiths and backgrounds to embrace the spirit of giving back. We encouraged synagogues, schools, youth groups, and other community organisations to connect with local charities, offering hands-on support and fostering meaningful relationships with their neighbours, regardless of religious or cultural affiliation.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Achievements and performance (continued)
Throughout the year Mitzvah Day continued to develop a range of campaigns. These all had a clear, hands-on call to action, encouraging social action, connecting with our neighbours, and raising issues of societal concern. These included Brew Monday in January focused on making a cup of tea or coffee and making a phone call to check-in on people and encouraging honest talk about mental health. The others connected to festivals of Purim, Pesach - addressing food poverty, and Shavuot/Eid sharing traditional recipes and sweet treats with our neighbours to maintain and build bridges.
The Mitzvah Day theme for 2024 was "Stronger Together”. Mitzvah Day 2024 offered individuals a time to heal, connect with each other and focus on what matters in and between our communities – building a better society for all. On Mitzvah Day, we defied the forces which tear us apart as we come together to support our local charities and build bridges of commonality. In 2024 we were, quite simply, Stronger Together.
Whether we were tackling food insecurity, bringing joy and delight to a care home, collecting clothes for those in need or cleaning up a local park – we worked across faith and non-faith groups. No matter the activity, we did it together. By working side-by-side in this way, people from different faith traditions will build connections, celebrate our shared values and ultimately create a more unified and supportive society – showing that we are all Stronger Together
To further emphasise Mitzvah Day's commitment to supporting Jewish communities across the UK, Mitzvah Day’s CEO embarked on a series of visits to smaller Jewish communities in York, Leeds, Cumbria, Manchester, Norwich, Brighton and Hove and Coventry. These visits underscored Mitzvah Day's dedication to fostering interfaith relationships and supporting local social action initiatives within diverse communities.
In 2024, we saw thousands of people take part in projects encompassing food bank collections, care home visits, cooking for those in need, litter picks, card-making and much more. On Mitzvah Day we give our most valuable possession of all - our time. We strive to make a positive difference to communities around us, on Mitzvah Day and all throughout the year, by encouraging and celebrating volunteering and building relationships with people we may not usually meet. Mitzvah Day continued to participate on the Board of Deputies of British Jews as a member.
Mitzvah Day 2024 saw some incredible interfaith projects across the country and below are some of the standout projects for us:
League of Jewish Women NW Region
The LJW NW Region actively participated in Mitzvah Day 2024, demonstrating a commitment to both community service and interfaith cooperation. Key activities included supporting Bury Hospice with their Christmas Fayre and tree recycling appeal and preparing a festive lunch at the Outreach Community Drop-in Cafe in Radcliffe.
Northwood and Ruislip United Synagogue (NRUS)
Northwood and Ruislip United Synagogue (NRUS) consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to community service and interfaith cooperation in 2024. Through ongoing projects such as providing fresh produce to The Manna Project and Oasis Soup Kitchen, entertaining senior citizens, and supporting charities like GIFT and Kisharon, NRUS members actively engaged in acts of kindness and built bridges within their community.
C4WS and Camden Council
Lord Wajid Khan, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, joined Camden Council at the C4WS Homeless Project at King's Cross Methodist Church. Alongside volunteers, he participated in preparing and serving food, and engaged in meaningful conversations with service users, demonstrating a strong commitment to community service at the highest levels of government.
Cumbrian
Jewish
Community
Mitzvah Day 2024 in Cumbria successfully brought together refugees and local communities. Key highlights included a guided walk in the Lake District for refugees, an afternoon tea at Rose Castle hosted by the Rose Castle Foundation, and the distribution of essential items like clothing and laptops. The event fostered interfaith connections, showcased the generosity of the Cumbrian community, and provided a platform for refugees to build friendships and integrate into their new surroundings.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Financial review
This year we raised £170,559 (2023: £169,900) thanks to the generous support of our donors and we spent £204,769 (2023: £206,095). This has resulted in a deficit of £34,210 (2023: deficit of £36,195).
We set a target-funding requirement of £216,900 for the year to 31st December 2024 which was subsequently revised down on the background of shrinking individual donors due to the difficult backdrop of October 7th and impact on communal fundraising. We extend a big thank you to all the staff and volunteers for their support and efforts to ensure a successful Mitzvah Day 2024.
Mitzvah Day remains committed to long-term financial health. We've achieved this through continuous cost reviews and innovative technology utilisation, leading to significant savings.
While producing merchandise might increase expenses, we believe our cost-saving initiatives and lean team structure will keep us within budget.
Looking forward, Mitzvah Day aims to amplify fundraising efforts and leverage our increased team capacity to expand our reach and impact. The trustees remain dedicated to maintaining low overhead costs while optimising staff efficiency. Our ultimate goal is to encourage maximum participation in both Mitzvah Day and year-round social action projects.
After a comprehensive evaluation of future commitments and fundraising plans, the trustees are confident in Mitzvah Day's sustainability as a going concern.
Reserves and investment policy
The Trustees regularly review the reserves required to meet known and estimated expenditure for the running of projects.
At present the Mitzvah Day Reserves Policy is to maintain sufficient level of reserves to enable normal operating activities to continue over a 4-month period should a shortfall in income occur, and to consider potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time.
This policy will be reviewed at a Trustee meeting each year. The Chief Executive will present the Trustee Board with a draft document and supporting materials that enables them to make an informed decision about levels of Reserves and feeds into their approval of the Strategy Document and Annual Operating Budget.
Any cash, surplus to immediate requirements, is held on bank deposit.
Structure, governance and management
The Trustees are responsible for the strategy and direction of Mitzvah Day. Responsibility for the day-to-day running of the charity is devolved to the staff, including a full-time, paid Chief Executive. Stuart Diamond fulfilled this role very well during the year.
Other staff members include a full-time Projects and Partnerships Manager. In addition to this, part-time contracted support includes a Bookkeeper, PR and Communications and Social Media management.
Over a typical year there are 4-5 regular meetings examining different aspects of the charity's requirements, ensuring that the charity is running as it should, with a special emphasis on strategy, finances, risk management and staffing.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Volunteers
Mitzvah Day volunteers are champions for community cohesion and social action and the backbone of Mitzvah Day. Not only do they enable our reach and capacity building, but they also make a real difference within their neighbourhoods, supporting local causes. We work with Mitzvah Day volunteer coordinators from both our charity partners and community groups all committed to doing acts of kindness for others and bringing together people from all faiths and backgrounds to participate.
The charity is extremely grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in the charity’s work. Whilst our aim is social cohesion through social action, it is gratifying to know that the social action itself more than warranted the core costs of running MItzvah day.
Plans for future periods
Even amidst the tensions of October 7th and the broader Israel-Hamas conflict in 2023, Mitzvah Day stood firm in its commitment to interfaith social action. The global community faced numerous challenges, including the lingering effects of the pandemic, mental health struggles, economic instability, environmental concerns, refugee crises, the war in Ukraine, and rising hate crimes.
Our ambition is to continue to build on this success. We intend to continue to extend the geographic coverage of our activities, including internationally, and promote Mitzvah Day more extensively within the areas in which we already operate. We will also continue to build stronger links with other faiths through shared activities and projects and build bridges within our own community.
Recognising the heightened need for unity and support, Mitzvah Day 2024 embraced the theme "Stronger Together." This theme served as a powerful reminder that by working together across faiths and within our communities, we can overcome adversity and build a brighter future for all. From addressing food insecurity and supporting vulnerable populations to environmental conservation and interfaith dialogue, Mitzvah Day 2024 provided a platform for individuals and communities to come together, demonstrate their shared values, and make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
On Mitzvah Day, we will defy the forces which tear us apart as we come together to support our local charities and build bridges of commonality.
Whether we are tackling food insecurity, bringing joy and delight to a care home, collecting clothes for those in need or cleaning up a local park – we will be working across faith and non-faith groups. No matter the activity... we will do it together!
By working side-by-side in this way, people from different faith traditions will build connections, celebrate our shared values, and ultimately create a more unified and supportive society – showing that we are all Stronger Together.
Mitzvah Day's enduring strength lies in its ability to unite people of all faiths and backgrounds. Thousands continue to come together to support their neighbours, both within the Jewish community and those of different faiths and backgrounds. This fosters new friendships and connections between communities and strengthens vital links with the charities that rely on us.
Mitzvah Day acts as a catalyst for positive change. We create opportunities for individuals seeking ways to connect and make a tangible local impact. We bridge divides, introducing non-Jewish people to Jews, connecting communities with local charities, and even facilitating connections within the Jewish community itself, on a local, national, and international level. Most importantly, our projects are designed for lasting impact – Mitzvah Day serves as the starting point, not the conclusion, of positive social change.
We believe that there is a lot of potential to expand our work through working with young people, increasing our international reach and through developing strategic relationships

Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Mitzvah Day UK Charitable Trust is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The principal office address is 3rd Floor, 207 Regent Street, London, W1B 3HH.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are subject to specific conditions imposed by donors as to how they may be used, or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Donations and grants are included in incoming resources and are recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Income from fund raising events is included in incoming resources when the event takes place.
Investment income is included in incoming resources on the accruals basis.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on the accruals basis.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and Fittings 25% Straight Line Basis Computer Equipment 25% Straight Line Basis Website Development 25% Reducing Balance Basis
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and bank balances, are measured at transaction price and subsequently carried at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts as they are receivable within one year.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, which include creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price and are not amortised as they are payable within one year.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
