CHABAD LUBAVITCH OF NOTTINGHAM (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07829000)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 October 2022
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 October 2022. 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 advancement of the Jewish religion and Jewish education in Nottinghamshire.
Significant activities
Based on the Chabad-Lubavitch teachings and philosophy, the charity provides Jewish educational classes, cultural and welfare resources in Nottingham, in particular; but not restricted to, members of the Jewish faith.
This work has expanded from primarily working with students to encompassing work with the entire community. At university, many students are leaving home for the first time. Chabad provide them with personal care, and a wide range of religious, educational, social and cultural programming. Parents are particularly appreciative that their children have a 'home away from home'. Special programming is also available for the post-graduates, singles and young professionals as well as families and seniors in the wider community.
The Charity also represents the Jewish community at Council events, radio interviews and newspaper columns.
Public benefit statement
In meeting the objectives the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and consider that all donations meet this guidance. Public benefit statement All the trustees are conversant with the Charity Commission's guidelines concerning charities and public benefit and have given consideration to them when assessing the charitable company's aims and objectives. The trustees believe that they have given due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Commission and have complied fully with the public benefit requirement contained within the Charities Act 2011.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Chabad Lubavitch of Nottingham has established itself as the primary provider of Jewish education and services in Nottinghamshire. In addition to the popular ongoing dinners, classes and activities provided by the Charity, a number of other organisations use the large community room for their events. These include JLGB, UJS, the Nottingham Jewish Kids Club, JAMI, the Nottingham Hebrew Congregation and MASA. As the Charity takes on a wider community role, it has successfully managed to bring together students and older members of the community for joint events. Many students now choose to come to Nottingham because of the services provided by Chabad. The Charity also delivers talks in local schools, and represents the community at Council events.
In the 2021 accounts the Charity forecast increased pastoral offerings, setting up meals on wheels, further educational offerings as well as building works to improve the entertainment space.
The charity successfully implemented many of these things. There were lengthy delays in having an inspector come to approve the kitchen, but this was eventually certified in December 2022. Weekly food deliveries are being made to the elderly, and the charity hopes to establish a proper system in the future.
Listed building consent was approved for structural works to increase the entertainment space. The works were completed in early 2023.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 31 October 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position Financial results
The financial results for the year to 31 October 2022 are shown in the attached financial statements.
Total income increased from £290,188 to £358,687 and total expenditure increased from £194,169 to £245,154 in comparison with the previous period.
There was a net increase in funds of £113,533 (2021 - £96,019) with total unrestricted funds carried forward of £403,150 (2021 - £282,447).
Reserves policy
The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves as at 31 October 2022 would be three months of resources expended which is approximately £60,000.
At the year end the charity's free reserves were £39,191. In calculating the reserves, the trustees have excluded from total funds, the value of fixed assets less related loan obligations. The trustees are aware that this is less than the target figure and are actively pursuing sources of funding in order to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to provide financial stability and flexibility.
FUTURE PLANS
The charity will be gradually increasing pastoral care for the elderly, and plans to increase Kosher food offerings to students on Campus.
Increased group study classes, as well as personal learning session will be implemented. With increased offerings to the elderly, the Charity is now looking at options to make the facility accessible for those with mobility issues.
Plans are being developed to firm up their financial stability through further development of their monthly giving programme.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
