## **THE ROSEMARIE NATHANSON CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
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 charitable trust's governing document, 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)".
## **Objectives and activities**
The Rosemarie Nathanson Charitable Trust is a family foundation rooted in Jewish values. The charity commits to support vulnerable individuals, focusing primarily on helping young people gain critical life skills through informal education, activities and training. The charity supports projects of all denominations in the UK and around the world, seeking programs that will make a significant impact and that have an inherent capacity for growth. The charity achieves this objective by selecting relevant institutions to which to donate.
This year, alongside our usual activities, RNCT is focusing on supporting charities actively working against antisemitism and extremism.
## _Public benefit_
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charitable trust should undertake.
## **Achievements and performance**
## _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_
During the year total donations of £375,000 were received (2024: £nil). The charity committed to grants, donations and other charitable expenditure of £499,527 (2024: £618,930). The trustees expect to continue to make similar grants and donations in the future.
## **Financial review**
## _Reserves policy_
The principle funding source of the charity is through donations received and the charity has no external debt. These resources are used to support the charity's key objectives by enabling it to distribute the funds in the form of donations made to various educational institutions around the world, with the aims of supporting vulnerable individuals to gain life skills through non-formal education and training.
Investments at the year end had a market value of £nil (2024: £nil).
The trustees maintain a level of reserves that is sufficient to cover the fund's costs for the forthcoming year. It is not the trustees' policy to over-distribute income. At the balance sheet date, total unrestricted funds were £109,295 (2024: £232,915).
No other reserves are held by the charity, including restricted or endowment funds.
## _Major risks_
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable trust is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: H D Nathanson

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_
New trustees are appointed in accordance with the trust deed and a minimum of three trustees are required at all times.
In accordance with the trust deed all grants and donations require the approval of all trustees.

## _Organisational structure_
The charity's affairs are carried on by its trustees, who meet as necessary for this purpose.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **THE ROSEMARIE NATHANSON CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROSEMARIE NATHANSON CHARITABLE TRUST**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Rosemarie Nathanson Charitable Trust (the charitable trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charitable trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charitable trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the charitable trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements 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. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
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 that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable trust as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 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.

**THE ROSEMARIE NATHANSON CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Rosemary Nathanson Charitable Trust is a charitable organisation registered in England and Wales, principle place of business: 7th Floor South Block, 55 Baker Street, London, W1U 8EW. The Charity's registered number is 1127306.
## **1.1 Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable trust's governing document, 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)". The charitable trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charitable trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 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 charitable trust 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 available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
## **1.4 Income**
Income from donations is recognised when the charitable trust has received entitlement to a donation, the donation is probable and within the control of the charity, and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured.
Investment income represents dividends and interest on fixed asset investments.
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised in the financial statements when a specific commitment has been made to the recipient, the charity has retained no discretion to terminate, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured.
Grants are recognised in the financial statements as liabilities after they have been approved by the trustees, the recipients have been notified and there are no further terms and conditions to be fulfilled which are within the control of the trust. In these circumstances there is a valid expectation by the recipients that they will receive the grant.

## **THE ROSEMARIE NATHANSON CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **1.6 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.
## **1.7 Financial instruments**
The charitable trust 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 charitable trust's balance sheet when the charitable trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.8 Taxation**
The Rosemarie Nathanson Charitable Trust is a recognised charity and as such is exempt from tax on its income to the extent this is applied for charitable purposes (under sections 521 to 536 of the income tax act 2007).
## **1.9 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charitable trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025**_
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charitable trust’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
