Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 30 November 2023
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 30 November 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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
Objectives and aims
The charity's objects ("objects") are specifically restricted to the following:
The relief of financial hardship, either generally or individually, amongst the elderly or in conditions of need, hardship and distress within the Jewish Community by making grants of money for providing or paying for items, services or facilities or providing such persons with goods or services which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means to advance the orthodox Jewish religion for the benefit of the public through the holding of prayer meetings, study sessions, lectures, public celebration of religious festivals in accordance with the tenets of the orthodox Jewish religion. To advance the education of Jewish pupils according to the tenets of the orthodox Jewish religion by providing and assisting in the provision of appropriate facilities needed for such purposes. To promote any purpose that the trustees may decide and that is legally considered charitable.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Grantmaking
Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the charity, as well as to individuals and families in need.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The trustees consider that the performance of the charity has been most satisfactory. During the year, the synagogue run by the charity held regular prayer services and study sessions as well as offering various programmes and lectures to the wider community. The charity also made grants to institutions and individuals amounting to £72,055 (2022: £65,960).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity's income is comprised mainly of voluntary donations received from individuals and other charitable organisations.
Reserves policy
The charity does not maintain a reserves policy, as reserves are distributed when they become available, at the trustees' discretion. The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of its objects and the trustees consider the financial position of the charity to be satisfactory.
FUTURE PLANS
There are no significant future developments to report.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document

The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of BEIS HAMEDRASH NISHMAS YISROEL LIMITED
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of BEIS HAMEDRASH NISHMAS YISROEL LIMITED ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 November 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 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
-
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.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
