Legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.
Structure, Governance and Finance
The company was incorporated on 26 November 2010 as a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charitable company on 14 January 2011. Its objectives are to attract, educate and empower a generation of intelligent, focused and globally-minded young Jews, giving them the skills and confidence to be effective and committed leaders of the Jewish and wider community.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were A Savage, N Schiff and A Steene. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company.
On 15 May 2012, the trustees were replaced as members by Jewish Futures Trust Limited which became the parent undertaking and at present guarantees to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. During the course of the year JFT provided central head office services to FJL and JFT’s other subsidiary charities at cost (as detailed in the notes to the accounts), to enable the group to benefit from econonmies of scale. It encouraged group charities to use the resources of sister charities to benefit from their expertise, in furtherance of each others’ charitable ohjectives.
The management of the company is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. The number of trustees shall not be subject to any maximum but shall not be less than two. The appointment and training of a new trustee is subject to the oversight of current trustees.
There are no specific restrictions imposed by the governing document concerning the way the charity can operate.
Volunteers are not used by the charity to fulfil any charity or operational activities.
Charity’s Objectives and Activities
The Forum for Jewish Leadership (FJL) was established to identify, educate and empower young Jewish leaders through programmes and activities which connect them to their community, culture and heritage in a meaningful way. In doing so, we seek to enable those leaders to make long term contributions across the community. FJL seeks to meet these objectives by running seminars and programmes in the UK, Israel, the US and Europe.
Achievements and Performance
FJL, like many charities was deeply impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic that struck the world in 2020. Its major international programmes, in USA, Israel and UK had to be postponed and UK activities had to convert to digital online programmes. Where possible contact with international students was maintained with a range of on line programmes that the Charity was able to implement very quickly.

Trustees’ Report (continued)
Fundraising
Forum for Jewish Leadership’s fund-raising is principally from Trusts and Foundations and individuals particularly from people or organisations who either use or have benefited from the charity’s activities and have wished to show their appreciation. FJL does not engage in large scale fund-raising activities like mass mailings, telephone fund-raising or door-to-door campaigns. FJL does not employ a professional fundraiser nor engage the services of any third-party organisations to help raise funds. To this end, the trustees have not considered it necessary or appropriate to sign up to any regulatory code of fundraising practice but aims to ensure that fundraising is done professionally and in accordance with good practise. FJL has not received any complaints about any aspect of its fund-raising during 2020 or since then.
Financial Review
During the year, despite impact of Covid-19, FJL generated a surplus of £15,388 (2019: deficit of £2,977). Total Funds on the balance sheet are now a £14,233 (2019 deficit of £1,154). Free Reservcs at 31 December 2020 were £14,233 (2019: £nil).
FJL is supported by a broad spectrum of donors from across the community, ranging from grassroots student-level programme participants and alumni to a number of philanthropists and Foundations who partner with our charity and help encourage our activities. Most fundraising is done through direct relationships with our partners and through effective communication of the importance of our work to the wider audience of our supporters.
Since 1 November 2017, FJL has worked in partnership with Aish Hatorah UK Ltd, a group charity, both of whoms’ sole member is Jewish Futures Trust Ltd. The partnership works to enable FJL to deliver its activities in a more focused way to UK students , and Aish Hatorah provides financial support for FJL UK activities.
All of FJL’s expenditure is focused on creating the wide range of successful high-quality educational courses and popular, impactful activities that deliver our stated charitable objectives.
As trustees, we cannot stress enough how grateful we are for the support provided by our contributors. The funds provided and the time and care contributed are significantly impacting those participating in our programmes and, by extension, the wider community and, although our thanks are expressed regularly in person, it would be remiss not to mention the immeasurable difference that all involved in the charity are making.
Key Risks and Uncertainties
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. A reduction in donor base could cause cash flow issues; any delayed receipt of pledged donations or participants income could also potentially cause cash flow issues. The major risks facing the charity are reviewed regularly at management meetings. Regular reviews of cash flow projections and budget forecasts are also undertaken, as well as a continual drive to reduce expenditure and negotiate better terms and rates.
The impact of Covid-19 in 2020
The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has significantly impacted upon the Charity’s planned activities and programmes. All activities involving social interaction had to stop in March 2020, but the charity has been able to move to digital platforms to deliver events and programmes.
Staff were put on furlough and actions taken to reduce costs of operations to limit the drain on resources. The Covid-19 crisis has impacted on the ability of the Charity to raise funds in the normal way, compared to previous years. However supporters have recognised that the Charity has still been able to deliver high quality programmes and remain supportive of its work. Fundraising initiatives are still producing appropriate income for the Charity.

Trustees’ Report (continued)
The impact of Covid-19 in 2020, continued
Management and Trustees are monitoring the Charity cost base on a regular basis to ensure that programme, event and educational costs do not exceed foreseeable income. The Management Team are regularly assessing the operational and logistical capabilities and finance consequences to update plans and budgets.
Public Benefit
The trustees acknowledge the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s published general and relevant sub-sector guidance on public benefit.
All activities undertaken by FJL are for the public benefit. With a range of activities offered for a generation of able young leaders, the organisation’s operation is very much geared to providing benefit to the Jewish and wider community as is highlighted by the activities reported herein. By encouraging those who participate in our programmes to consider their moral responsibility as givers
Plans for the Future
The trustees plan to continue with on line programmes developed during the Covid-19 crisis . The potential for international programmes for 2021 are under constant review.
Reserves
Up until recently, FJL has not had an official reserves policy. The trustees have determined that FJL should endeavour to hold free reserves representing 3 months of operational costs, approximately £15,000. The trustees aim to have met this reserves target by the end of 2021.
The Charity has always functioned with a low level of Reserves and the Trustees are satisfied that the level of Free Reserves is adequate to deliver adjusted programmes and resources. The level of Free Reserves has been reviewed in light of the COVID-19 crisis and are considered adequate given the nature of the crisis. The Board will continue to review the Charity’s reserves and its policy annually; more frequently if circumstances dictate.
Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to the Accounts
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
a. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
b. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
c. follow applicable UK accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
-
d. prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

2. Accounting Policies
a. Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015), applicable UK accounting standards including the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006. The company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
b. Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
c. Expenditure
Cost of fundraising activities are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income.
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the delivery of its activities and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Support costs have been allocated to the expenditure categories based on the management’s estimate of the proportion of time and resources consumed by each of the key activities of the charity.
d. Income
Donations are accounted for when the charity becomes entitled to the donation and any conditions for receipt are met.
e. Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.
Page 11
Forum for Jewish Leadership Limited
Notes to the Accounts – 31 December 2020
- f. Government Grants Grants are accounted for under the performance model as permitted by the charity SORP. Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grant income is therefore recognised on a straight line basis over the furlough period for each relevant employee.
g. Financial Instruments
The charity holds only financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments include debtors and creditors. Debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value. Note 15 provides more information on financial instruments where future cash flows are anticipated, with financial assets referring to debtor balances excluding prepayments, and financial liabilities referring to all creditor balances excluding deferred income and other taxation and social security.
-
h. Going Concern
-
Following a review of the financial position of the Charity, in light of Covid-19 crisis, with the charity having general reserves of £14,233, the Trustees are confident that the charity can generate sufficient donations in 2021 to ensure that it can maintain its revised activities and resources. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainities about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectations that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
3 Key Judgements and Estimates
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
The Trustees consider that there are no material judgements in applying accounting policies or key sources of estimation uncertainty.
