TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the Period ended 31 December 2023.
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:
-
To preserve and protect the good health of women and their children, particularly from the Jewish Community, from across England, by providing:
-
access to a facility of supported accommodation offering physical and emotional support;
-
education in, and the health benefits, of breastfeeding;
-
information on child-rearing topics including healthcare and nutrition;
-
opportunities for new mothers to socialise and participate in social activities with other new mothers in a similar situation;
-
links to mainstream health services
-
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.
Our key objectives for the year included:
-
to provide a high standard of care and support to every resident at our home.
-
to provide a safe, welcoming, nurturing, environment where our residents can gain maximum rest and relaxation during their stay.
-
to offer consistent, unconditional care, enabling residents to live in an environment that encourages positive relationships, mutual respect, trust, and consideration for others.
-
to ensure that every member of staff delivers an outstanding experience to our residents, throughout their stay, by displaying patience, attentiveness, and a can-do attitude.
-
to empower our staff to take a leadership role and make decisions in line with the objectives of Beis Brucha and in the best interest of mother and baby.
-
to recognise that many of our residents can be in a vulnerable state post-birth, and thus to display a sense of compassion and empathy at all times .
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Achievements and performance
Beis Brucha’s management team, have continued to implement changes and upgrades in all departments. Improvements introduced previous financial periods have been carefully monitored and necessary adjustments introduced.
-
The upgraded booking in system has continued to improve with the upgrade of the electronic screens in the Nursery and Nursing Rooms. This allows for precise and accurate updates to be transmitted to the necessary rooms in a professional and reliable manner.
-
A new 48” plasma screen has been installed in the hallway and feeding room with daily information and relevant advertising displayed on a 24 hour basis. This has generated income for Beis Brucha, and it is hoped that this will develop over the coming months.
-
Feeding classes are taking place daily in the new feeding area. These sessions incorporate advice geared to increase awareness of fitness and healthy lifestyles, signposting to health initiatives in the borough.
-
The 24-hour bar, introduced in 2022, continues to be upgraded with nutritious and healthy snacks. Plans for a complete upgrade of this area have now been drawn-up and works are planned for the Spring of 2024.
-
The full rebuild of the Nursery and Nursing Room is now complete. The new nursey allows for all cribs to be laid out in an arranged and easy-to-access manner, letting the staff care for each baby in the most efficient and safe manner. The new work stations, kitchen areas and storage facilities have contributed to Beis Brucha’s efficient running.
-
Overall occupancy rose in 2023 to 86.4% (74.8% in 2022). This is largely due to positive word-of-mouth feedback, but also through advertising through the available channels in North West London, opening a new demographic for the Home.
-
Mental health awareness programmes, which incorporated, group therapy sessions by trained therapists from Homerton Hospital who specialise in perinatal mental health, have continued throughout 2023.
-
Beis Brucha has shared printed materials to support the community, and to assist new mothers in gaining access to local health support services and financial support.
-
Through the Community Champion programme, Beis Brucha has also helped share key messages on local support services, and midwives and health visitors have proven to be a fountain of information and reassurance to the residents about public health recommendations.
-
Beis Brucha continues to offer support to new mothers in their community, offering a safe space where we share information on vaccinations, health support services, financial support, and also activities for their community to take part in.
Partners working in conjunction with Beis Brucha

Woodberry Down Children Centre, who offer a weekly drop-in session for new mums to achieve an excellent breastfeeding experience.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Financial review
The charity derives its income from donations, grants and voluntary contributions paid by mothers attending the home.
During the 8-month period to 31 December 2023 there was a proportional increase in income in comparison to the previous 12-month period.
Expenditure also proportionally increased in the period due to an increase in staff costs, rent & rates and food & kitchen consumables.
Income during the period totalled £693,190 (2023: £960,583) and expenditure totalled £787,832 (2023: £959,632).
At the period end, the charity's funds were in deficit. The trustees have plans to embark on an online crowdfunding campaign which will aim to reverse the shortfall.
The new management team running the office at Beis Brucha, has introduced a new accounting programme to simplify the buying process and streamline its long list of suppliers. This will also lead to cost savings and assist with improving the charity's financial position.
This approach, combining increased fundraising efforts and operational efficiencies, may help restore the charity’s financial stability.
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:
-
A continuation of the buying process overhaul, whereby accounts with larger providers to replace many of the smaller suppliers currently providing Beis Brucha.
-
The opening of the new Nursery and Nursing rooms, and careful monitoring of the day-to-day running to ensure that any initial ‘teething’ issues are dealt with quickly and effectively.
-
Raising funds for new furniture within the Nursing rooms
-
Plans for a crowdfunding campaign to take place in the Autumn of 2024.
-
To finalise renovation plans for dining and kitchen areas. The planned works will be carried out in Spring 2024
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 Period and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

-
3 the financial statements 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

BEIS BRUCHA LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
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 Reporting period
The charity’s reporting period has been shortened changing the period end date from 30 April 2024 to 31 December 2023. This adjustment aligns the reporting year with the calendar year. Accordingly the comparative amounts presented in the financial statements (including the related notes) are not entirely comparable.
1.2 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.
1.3 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.
1.4 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 or grantors 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.
1.5 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.
1.6 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.7 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:
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.
1.8 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 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.
1.10 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.
