Objectives and activities

Objects

The objectives of the charity are; (i) the advancement of Orthodox Jewish religious education and education in general primarily but not exclusively by establishing, maintaining and managing a school for Jewish boys in the North London area. and (ii) the advancement of such other objects as are for the benefit of the public and are charitable according to the Laws of England and Wales.

Activities

The charity's main area of work continues to be running the school. Established only 8 years ago, the school already has a student body of over 150 children from the local Jewish community, aged 3 – 12 years. Trustees and staff remain committed to helping children develop their skills and character so that they mature into well-adjusted, capable citizens.

After school activities

We are delighted to report that the charity has expanded our choice of activities to accommodate even more children. Activities include:

We continue running our much-loved library and hope to expand our range of books over the next year.

All activities are for disadvantaged children, whose parents are unable to provide fun activities for them after school hours, primarily due to difficult financial circumstances. The Club has continued to be extremely popular and is a highlight for more than 350 children that attend each week.

The charity will therefore continue to fundraise so that it can expand its much-needed out of school programme.

Public Benefit Policy

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

Grant Making Policy

Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the charity.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2023

Achievements and performance

During the year the charity received £832,391 in childcare fees, and £139,289 in donations.

The charity paid out £974,263 for education and clubs direct running costs as well as support costs. The charity was successful in dispensing education to children of various ages during the year.

During the year the charity made grants totalling £20,297 in furtherance of it objectives.

There was net expenditure and net movement in funds during the year amounting to £2,583.

Financial review

As at 31 March 2023 the charity held free unrestricted reserves, being the net current liabilities of the charity, amounting to £(£24,396) (2022: £25,556).

During the previous year the school was inspected by Ofsted. The results of the inspection were inadequate. The trustees took measures to remedy the situation. A follow up visit concluded in May '22 resulting in a similar outcome. The trustees are currently working with Ofsted to ensure full compliance with Ofsted requirements.

Reserves Policy

The unrestricted fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results.

The trustees are satisfied that the balance of the fund is an acceptable level of reserves. The free reserves are net current liabilities. This is mainly due to a notional overdraft owing to unpresented cheques and a loan creditor on an interest free basis who has confirmed he will not call in the loan to the detriment of the cash flow of the charity.

It is the charity's policy to maintain cash reserves at a level that will ensure the smooth-running of the school at all times.

The trustees' annual report and the strategic report were approved on 28 January 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Viznitz Limited

Year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Viznitz Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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 the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  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

  4. the financial statements 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).

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 126B Stamford Hill, London, N16 6QT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as mentioned in the trustees annual report.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements did not require management to make judgements, estimates or assumptions that affect the amounts reported at the year end.

Fund accounting

General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account. They are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restricted conditions imposed by donors.

Designated funds are funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. There are no designated funds as at the Balance Sheet date.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources (continued)

Resources expended

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.

Charitable activities constitute running the school and grants to institutions.

Expenditure also includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Governance costs are included on an accruals basis and are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Land & Buildings - 2% straight line
Fixtures & Fittings - 20% reducing balance
Motor Vehicles - 25% reducing balance
Equipment - 25% reducing balance

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

4. Limited by guarantee

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10.
