Chabad Lubavitch of Nottingham

Company Limited by Guarantee

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

Year ended 31 October 2025

Structure, governance and management

Chabad Lubavitch Of Nottingham is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 31 October 2011 as a company and the company number is 07829000. It was registered as a charity on 11 November 2011 with a charity number 1144625.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and with the consent of the trustees. The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation.

There is no chief executive officer. The day to day affairs are undertaken by the trustees. All major decisions are taken collectively by the trustees and all the trustees give of their time freely. The trustees are unpaid and details of any related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts. The arrangements for setting the pay of the charity’s employees are the sole domain of the trustees.

There are no policies for the induction or training of new trustees.

Risk review

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the trust, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.

The risks faced by the trust are principally operational risks from ineffective grant making. These risks are managed by the trustees researching potential beneficiaries before granting donations.

Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all grants.

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

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 and Chabad provide them with personal care, and a wide range of religious, educational, social and cultural programs. Parents are particularly appreciative that their children have a 'home away from home'. Special programs are 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. 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.

Strategic report

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

Achievements 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.

Recently the charity has increased its pastoral offerings as well as setting up meals on wheels and furthering its educational offerings.

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

Year ended 31 October 2025

Financial review

During the year the charity received £216,600 (2024: £270,011) in donations. Expenditure during the year on charitable activities as well as support costs came to £232,159 (2024: £242,994).

There was a net loss and net movement in funds amounting to £15,559 (2024: gain £27,017). Total funds held by the charity at the year end were £327,678 (2024: 343,237) all of which were unrestricted. The free reserves at the year end were £6,762 (2024: £11,927).

Reserves policy

The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves would be the equivalent of two months of expenditure which is approximately £40,000. The trustees are aware that the current level 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 improve their financial stability through further development of their monthly giving programme.

The trustees' annual report and the strategic report were approved on 16 July 2026 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Chabad Lubavitch of Nottingham

Year ended 31 October 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Chabad Lubavitch of Nottingham ('the charity') for the year ended 31 October 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

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 October 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 3 Gregory Street, Nottingham, England, NG7 2LR.

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.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

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

Taxation

Chabad Lubavitch Of Nottingham is a registered charity and therefore is not liable to tax on income derived from its charitable activities, as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are 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:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

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.

- 11 -

Chabad Lubavitch of Nottingham

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 October 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

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:

Freehold property - 2% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 20% reducing balance
Equipment - 33% reducing balance

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 value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity 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.

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

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

- 12 -

Chabad Lubavitch of Nottingham

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 October 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

Chabad Lubavitch Of Nottingham is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
