GAN MENACHEM HENDON LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07637296)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

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 31 August 2020. 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 objects of the charity are to advance and promote for the pubic benefit Jewish religion and culture as well as religious understanding by providing educational facilities and services for children.

In order to achieve these objects the charity operates a nursery which offers a safe and supported environment for the education of the children of the Jewish faith. The school gives them a good grounding to progress into primary school.

Public benefit

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aim and objectives and in planning the charity's future activities. The aims of the charitable company for the public benefit are detailed in the ‘Objectives and Activities’ section of this report and the main activities undertaken in order to carry out the charitable company's aims for the public benefit are outlined under 'Achievements and Performance' below.

Volunteers

We take the opportunity to thank all those that provided voluntary support to the organisation. Specifically to the Trustees who actively manage the charity's risks and financial position, and who provide days of their time in order to ensure the continuity and excellence of the charity.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

Charitable activities

The Headteacher Mrs M Lieberman has been involved with the nursery since its inception and constantly monitors the progress of its children. The Trustees believe that the quality of the teaching is good and staff are committed to meeting the needs of individual children. A curriculum is planned for each child to enhance their learning and development which allows them to play and show individual creativity.

This year, the school maintained a similar number of children in the school as last year of approximately 75 with increased levels of efficiency and quality. The children are all from local families.

The charity has a specific policy whereby bursaries are paid in the form of reduced fees to pupils who come from disadvantaged families in the Jewish community. The amount paid in the year under review was £8,094 (2019: £20,875. The charity also gives back to the community by employing local qualified teachers and assistants.

Financial review

Financial results

Net income for the year amounted to £43,280 (2019: £3,692).

Total income received was £534,034 (2019: £514,339). This comprised mainly income from nursery activities which amounted to £408,816 (2019: £465,021). Total expenditure amounted to £523,353 (2019: £510,647). Of this sum expenditure on nursery activities amounted to £478,258 (2019: £476,648). The biggest element of this was staff costs of £317,346 (2019: £325,813). Governance costs amounted to £33,321 (2019: £18,822).

Investment policy and objectives

Under its Memorandum of Association the charity has power to invest in any way the trustees wish.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

STRATEGIC REPORT

Financial review

Reserves policy

The trustees recognise the need to adopt a suitable policy on reserves and the need to maintain a level of reserves to cover any unforeseen contingencies in its day to day operations.

An adequate level for such reserves is deemed to be equivalent to three months expenditure which was estimated to be £129,311 (2019: £125,983). This compares to a balance on unrestricted funds at the year end of £17,057 (2019: £6,376).

Although there is a shortfall the charity is working to build up reserves to this level.

Principle risks and future plans

The main risk faced by the charity is the decline in number or students and in unpaid fees. The local demand for Jewish nurseries mitigates this risk and the Trustees take a careful approach to recovering all fees charged.

The charity has recently moved into their new premises. The new premies offer state-of- the-art equipment and facilities, that has revamped and enhanced the experience for its nursery children.

The charity continues to explore ways to enhance the surplus in the charity for more financial security and unexpected events.

The Charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales anda registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 4 Breasy Place, Burroughs Gardens, London, England, NW4 4AT.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are as follows:-

(i) Trade debtors

Management uses details of the age of trade debtors and the status of any disputes in making judgements concerning any need to impair the carrying values.

(ii) Accrued and deferred income

Management recognises sales revenue due to the charity by reference to the contract's stage of completion.

(iii) Accrued and prepaid expenditure

Management assesses its contractual financial obligations to its subcontractors and agents and recognises these expenses when they are due on an accruals basis.

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.

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Taxation

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible reference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss.
