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:
-
daily breakfast club
-
weekly swimming lessons
-
weekly aerobic lessons
-
weekly woodwork club
-
twice a week social skills group.
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.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
Achievements and performance
During the year the charity received £631,001 (2024: £774,153) in childcare fees, and £71,163 (2024: £77,615) in donations.
The charity paid out £742,432 (2024: £829,535) for running and maintaining a primary school, as well as various support costs. The charity was successful in dispensing education to children of various ages during the year.
There was net expenditure and net movement in funds during the year amounting to (£40,268), (2024: £22,233).
Financial review
As at 31 March 2025 the charity held free unrestricted reserves, being the net current liabilities of the charity, amounting to (£5,341) (2024: £18,434).
Total funds held by the charity at the year-end were £107,837 (2024: £148,105).
During a 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 january '25 with 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 of £5,341 (2024: £18,434 net current assets). This is mainly due to an interest free rent creditor that has stated they will not call in this creditor to the detriment of the cash flow of the charity. It is therefore appropriate to account for the charity on a going concern basis.
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 26 January 2026 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Viznitz Limited
Year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Viznitz Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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 2025
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:

Viznitz Limited
Company Limited by Guarantee
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources (continued)
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
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.
