TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2022.

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 charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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 charity's objects are:

  1. To preserve and protect the good health of women and their children, particularly from the Jewish Community, from across England, by providing:

  2. access to a facility of supported accommodation offering physical and emotional support;

  3. education in, and the health benefits, of breastfeeding;

  4. information on child-rearing topics including healthcare and nutrition;

  5. opportunities for new mothers to socialise and participate in social activities with other new mothers in a similar situation;

  6. links to mainstream health services

  7. To promote any other exclusively charitable objects and purposes as the trustees see fit, provided that they are regarded as charitable by the law of England and Wales.

In line with its objectives the charity provides supported residential care for disadvantaged, vulnerable women postbirth, particularly those contending with physical disabilities, domestic abuse, mental health issues & PND. Babies are cared for in a dedicated nursery whilst mothers recuperate. Qualified nursery staff support mothers in acquiring necessary skills to care for their newborn and themselves despite their limitations.

Our objectives are set to reflect our aims for the care and wellbeing of women and children. It is important to us that we maintain and enhance the care that we provide our residents.

This objective is, however, set in the context of the broader goals we set for Beis Brucha and its residents.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to guidance issued by the Charity Commission.

Our key objectives for the year included:

BEIS BRUCHA LIMITED

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Beis Brucha has been overhauled since it’s reopening after the Covid-19 pandemic forced the closure of its doors for the first time. A new managing team have replaced the previous manager who retired after a quarter of century of service and a thorough examination of processes has been undertaken.

As part of the upgrade:

Financial review

The charity derives its income from donations, grants and voluntary contributions paid by mothers attending the home.

During the year there was a 101% increase in income. Expenditure increased overall by 172%, with an increase in staff costs, rent & rates and food & kitchen consumables. The increase in activity was the result of the company operating at full capacity following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Incoming resources during the year totalled £914,323 (2021: £453,901) and expenditure for the year totalled £1,111,741 (2021: £409,088).

The trustees have appointed a team of two to proactively seek out grants that are available for organisations such as Beis Brucha Limited. The trustees have also changed the staff managing the office. The new team has been tasked to examine all expenses and seek out more economical buying processes.

Plans for future periods

The trustees anticipate that the charity will continue its work in the foreseeable future subject to satisfactory income.

Plans for the upcoming year include:

  1. An overhaul of all purchases to include the opening of accounts with larger wholesale providers, allowing the organisation to buy astutely and with maximum value.

  2. A full timetable for the redevelopment of the internal layout of the open area space on the ground floor of the organisation

.

  1. Raising necessary funds for the building project, by visiting members of the community and to continue highlighting the importance of the institution.

  2. Taking positive steps to increase the average occupancy of Beis Brucha, by introducing new and exciting programmes and increasing awareness of the benefit to all new mothers to become a resident at Beis Brucha.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 30th April 2009.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Mr A Edel (Resigned 1 November 2021) Mr R Spitzer (Resigned 1 November 2021) Mr S Sinitsky Mr R Hochhauser (Appointed 1 November 2021) Mrs C Moskovitz (Appointed 27 January 2022) Mrs N Weiss (Appointed 27 January 2022) Mr A Levison (Appointed 1 November 2021)

The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the continuing board. New trustees are appointed based on personal competence, skills, local availability and are given, in the view of the board, sufficient training to understand the nature of the charity and its workings. They are required to read the Charity Commission's 'The Essential Trustee' and are encouraged to read other Charity Commission publications. The day to day running of the home is delegated to a manager with qualified staff on the nursery side.

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Risk management

The charity has identified and assessed the major risks to which it is exposed, in particular those of safety and protection of the vulnerable whilst in the Charity's care as well as the finances of the charity. The charity is satisfied that systems are in place and routinely assessed including procedures for Child Protection, Health and Safety, Vulnerable Adults Policy and Financial Management and Controls.

The trustees report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Beis Brucha Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 325-327 Oldfield Lane North, Greenford, Middlesex, UB6 0FX.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) 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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

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 available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable..

1.5 Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Costs include irrecoverable VAT.

BEIS BRUCHA LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings Nil Fixtures and fittings 15% on reducing balance

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 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.

1.8 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 charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.9 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’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.
