The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024.

To relieve persons, in particular but not exclusively, of the Jewish community, suffering from infertility or fertility problems, in particular by:
-
a) The provision of information, advice and support, in particular through the provision of a support group
-
b) The provision of a helpline
-
c) The provision of a periodic magazine
-
d) The provision of a website and other resources for information, guidance and educational materials
-
e) Referring beneficiaries to relevant medical assistance and advice
Significant activities
The major sources of income during the year were donations from individuals and various institutions and these funds were directed towards the charitable activities which are detailed below.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Trustees feel that the charity succeeded in accomplishing their objectives this year. The year has been a tough one financially for the charity and the trustees at all time considered their limited funding and ensured its activities benefit patients and contribute to its aims.
Helpline
Our confidential helpline, which is manned 24 hours a day by dedicated volunteers with vast knowledge in the fertility field, received calls throughout the year and successfully advised, supported and assisted couples who are experiencing infertility. Our helpline volunteers continuously work to form relationships with doctors and infertility clinics so we can advocate on their behalf and they can be guided correctly. This provides an added service to the couples ensuring they receive the best care, treatment and emotional support.
We have also continued to provide meals for couples undergoing treatment so that they have no additional burden or stress during this strenuous time.
The helpline saw a significant increase of calls from last year and we are regularly told by patients that without us they would be stuck.
Miscarriage
Suffering a miscarriage is an extremely heart breaking experience. We have a phone line for advice and counselling. In addition we have a beautifully designed PLP (Pregnancy Loss Package) which is sent to the grieving couple, to help them heal. It includes advice, support and encouragement as well as an uplifting CD and a small box of chocolates. The charity also helps couples deal with burial issues should they arise, G-d forbid, in addition to religious prayers recited on the couple's behalf.
Our volunteers have sent out many packages during the year and have had a large amount of requests for advice and support from people suffering a miscarriage.
Grants
With the extremely high costs involved in fertility treatment, we offer to ease the burden with either long term interest free loans or to pay for the treatment in part or full. We also fund transportation to and from clinics which can often be quite costly. We combine our knowledge of medical procedures and testing to avoid unnecessary costs thus enabling patients to minimise stress.
The trustees feel this year has been a very productive year. There has been increased demand for funding and they hope to be able to continue to provide this service to the ultimate benefit of the patients.
Witnessing Program
We offer couples what is known as Doros Yeshorim. This service provides witnesses who attend clinics where necessary as required by Jewish Law. Our witnesses have been trained to be aware of laboratory procedures.
We have provided this service to all patients where the laboratory procedures are necessary for their treatment. With our expertise of many years running this service we have advised and guided other organisations within Europe to enable them to setup their own program.
Support Groups
The support groups met during the year. Our events team organised speakers knowledgeable on the subject of fertility to attend. This further expands patients knowledge. We have received very positive feedback from the attendees, where couples formed friendships, learnt coping skills and received much inspiration. After these event we were flooded with thank you notes and phone calls telling us what a difference it makes for them. Our events team will continue to arrange events for the benefit of our members.
Library
Our library was visited frequently. The purchase of up to date literature containing information on the latest advances in treatment was welcomed by all members. We also expanded our vast selection of CDs and DVDs containing medical information and uplifting and supportive lectures from both medical professionals and recognised rabbinical authorities and distributed a quarterly magazine from an equivalent organisation based in America which shares our name. This magazine offers a wide range of resources and advice for couples who find themselves struggling with fertility issues. We have continued to expand our media always on the lookout for the latest information. We have maintained the usage of the library and have helped many make sense of the maze of treatment and medical jargon enabling them to choose the correct path for treatment.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Support Groups and Events Programmes
Event groups for couples to get together and a hot line to keep up with each other's progress were our focus this year. We also organised a well known speaker, who has a vast amount of knowledge and experience in supporting and advising on the challenging issues of infertility, to speak at one of our events.
Fundraising activities - SHASATHON
We had a major fundraising event called Shasathon where over 400 members of the community came to learn Shas in one day under one roof to raise funds for the charity.

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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:
-
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
-
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
-
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.
