TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (DIRECTORS’ REPORT)
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2024.
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 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal activities of the Charity are to advance Orthodox Judaism as expounded by the teachings of ChabadLubavitch and to advance the understanding of Judaism.
The charity provides a range of educational and social resources to further its principle objectives, primarily but not exclusively for the benefit of Jewish students and students of other faiths, in Brighton and the South East Counties.
Chabad, with its acronym for the Hebrew terms of Chochma – Wisdom, Binah – Understanding, and Da’at – Knowledge, emphasises Jewish engagement through Torah study, both of traditional Jewish thought and Chassidism, and through the practical performance of Mitzvot. The Charity provides educational offerings geared to making Judaism intellectually stimulating, meaningful, engaging and relatable to young adults in the modern world.
Consistent with the strong emphasis within the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of living by the Biblical adage “Love your fellow as yourself”, the Charity maintains a welcoming and non-discriminatory open door policy to all Jewish students. Further to this aim, the Charity seeks to ensure the holistic wellbeing of its members, providing a range of support services to enable students to succeed materially, emotionally and spiritually while at university.
The charity employs a ‘Rabbi and Rebbitzin’ couple, who ably lead the Charity’s activities, and who together with their children, offer a welcoming home-away-from-home for beneficiaries. The Charity also benefits from the contribution of volunteers from the students and wider community, who play a vital role in enabling the Charity to achieve its objectives.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when setting the aims and objectives of the Charity. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the Charity.
The Charity is an affiliate of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, with centres in over 100 countries worldwide, including more than 50 centres across the UK, serving many thousands of Britain’s Jews through its innovative and compassionate programming.

• Jewish Confidence & Pride
The 7[th] Oct attacks in Israel and their aftermath have had significant impact on students and faculty and on Jewish life at British universities. The Charity has expended much effort to ensure that students and faculty are supported during this challenging time, and continues to devote resources to promote Jewish pride, confidence and optimism.
In his role as Chaplain/Faith Advisor, Rabbi Lewis worked extensively with Vice-Chancellors and university leaders and partners, raising awareness of the needs of the Jewish community and advocating for greater support in ensuring the community’s safety and wellbeing.
A range of creative initiatives were implemented, to further promote pride, confidence and optimism within the university’s Jewish community. Relaxing ‘chill night’ events provided a space for Jewish students to connect, seek comfort and support each other.
-
Highlights 2023-2024
-
Family Celebrations:
The Bar Mitzvah of Yankel, son of Rabbi & Mrs Lewis, was held in Dec 2023. The celebration was
a wonderful opportunity to share the family’s joy in the traditional ‘Chabad-style’, and served as a prime educational feature for the many students who attended.
- Mitzvahs:
In keeping with Chabad’s emphasis on the value of the performance of each individual Mitzvah, the Charity continues to broaden its focus on encouraging students to increased engagement in this area. Notable areas of success include Tefillin, Mezuzah, Charity Giving and Shabbat candlelighting. Students continue to connect well with these messages and values, as is evident from the number of students who request assistance in increasing their Mitzvah engagement.

Rosh Hashana Dinner; Shofar blowing and buffet.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
In continuing its objectives, to advance Orthodox Judaism as expounded by the teachings of Chabad-Lubavitch and to advance the understanding of Judaism amongst people of other faiths, the Charity will continue to provide its range of educational and social resources, primarily but not exclusively for the benefit of Jewish students and students of other faiths, in Brighton and the South East Counties.
The charity continues to actively seek new donors and partners, to further secure its current activities, as well as to enable further growth across all areas of provision to beneficiaries.
Centre Expansion
In April 2023, the Charity was granted Planning Approval from Brighton & Hove City Council, for the development and expansion of the Ground and Lower Ground floors of the Centre. The project will provide much needed additional facilities for activities, with the provision of a 36 m2 multi-purpose event space, a games room, an additional food preparation space and essential improvements to the existing library, main office and common areas. The Charity has secured substantial grants of 30% of the project budget, and is actively seeking further financial support to enable this important development to proceed.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity's income for the year amounted to £99,633 (2023: £54,558) and the expenditure for the year was £87,850 (2023: £76,416). The resulting net surplus for the year is £11,783 (2023: £21,915 deficit).
RESERVES POLICY
It is the policy of the trustees to seek to maintain funds which are the reserves of the Charity at a level sufficient to cover management, administration and support costs, subject to constraints arising from the diminishing financial and other resources available.
The trustees have established the level of unrestricted current net assets that the Charity ought to have. Reserves are needed to bridge the funding gap between spending on activities and receiving resources through voluntary income. The trustees consider that the ideal level of net current assets as at 31 May 2024 would be three months of resources expended which equates to £22,000.
At 31 May 2024 the Charity had unrestricted net current liabilities of £82,823 (2023: £103,329 net current liabilities) arising from a bank loan which fell due in the accounting period. Fuller details and the implications on going concern are discussed in note 3 of the financial statements.
The trustees are conscious of the need to further expand the Charity’s fundraising, in order to secure the activities of the charity, and are actively pursuing sources of funding in order to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to provide for future financial stability and flexibility to fund charitable activities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Chabad Lubavitch South East Counties Ltd (‘the Charity’ and for company law purposes, ‘the Company’) for the year ended 31 May 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of my report
As the Charity’s trustees (who are also directors of the Company 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”).

Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
The accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
The accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Company Act 2006 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 Charities SORP (FRS102).
Emphasis of matter
Your attention is drawn to the material uncertainty in the going concern status of the charity identified in note 3.

CHABAD LUBAVITCH SOUTH EAST COUNTIES LTD ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General Information
The Charity is a registered charity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The registered address is Chabad House, 14 Richmond Terrace, Brighton BN2 9SA. The liability of the members in the event of the charity being liquidated is limited to £1 each.
2.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS102, ‘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 (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 modified by the revaluation of freehold property to its market value. The financial statements are prepared in pound sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity.
Going concern
At the financial year end there was a significant excess of £85,195 of liabilities over assets which gives rise to material uncertainty about the status of the charity as a going concern. Much of this related to a £100,500 bank loan due for repayment in May 2025. In the Trustees’ opinion it is likely the charity will be able to refinance this loan. The trustees believe that operating costs can be met by its committed pool of donors, to whom the trustees extend their thanks. The Accordingly, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Disclosure exemption
The Charity qualifies for and has taken advantage of the exemption available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS102 from presenting a cash flow statement.
Key judgements and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions. A key assumption is the estimated remaining useful life of the freehold property, which has been estimated at 50 years at the financial year end, and its estimated residual value, which has been estimated at £300,000, as well as whether to derive its current market value from residential or commercial comparators.

CHABAD LUBAVITCH SOUTH EAST COUNTIES LTD ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Fund accounting
The charity’s assets are split between unrestricted funds, which are available for use at the trustee’s discretion in furtherance of the Charity’s objectives, and restricted funds, which are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. Further details on the Charity’s restricted fund are presented in note 12 to the financial statements.
Incoming resources
Incoming resources are included in the statement of financial of activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that economic benefits will pass to the charity; and that benefit can be reliably quantified. The following specific policies are applied to specific categories of income: -
-
Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable, and the amount can be reliably quantified.
-
Income from government grants are recognised when there is evidence of entitlement and performance conditions have been met.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis when incurred and is inclusive of value added tax.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value of that asset as follows:
Freehold property: 2% straight line with £300,000 residual value. Freehold improvements: 4% straight line. Plant and machinery: 25% straight line.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount the asset is impaired accordingly.
15
CHABAD LUBAVITCH SOUTH EAST COUNTIES LTD ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments, being most current assets and liabilities, are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. Financing transactions are measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid distributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or cash refund.
