THE CHABAD JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CENTRAL LONDON

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021

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 28 February 2021. 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

a) The advancement of the Jewish faith in central London, particularly in Belgravia, Mayfair, Kensington, Chelsea and Holland Park through the provision of adult and youth education and the provision of synagogue services and communal activities.

b) The relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage through the provision of financial support and co-ordination of practical and emotional support.

c) The promotion of such other purposes being exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine.

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 charity for the public benefit are detailed in the 'Objectives and Aims' section of this report and the main activities undertaken in order to carry out the charity's aims for the public benefit are outlined under 'Achievements and Performance' below.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

Charitable activities

The charity operates a community centre in Central London in which it provides a wide range of activities including educational programmes for adults and youth, for families and individuals with the aim of making these activities attractive and inviting to all irrespective of their level of religious observance and affiliation.

In addition, the charity provides and facilitates Sabbath and Festival services for all ages. As with our educational programmes and activities, these services are available to all irrespective of age, background, religious observance or financial ability.

The charity's educational programmes together with our warm and inviting Sabbath and Festival services and meals all contribute towards our main object of the advancement of the Jewish Faith in Central London. Our aim is to continue to widen our activities to as many people as possible and to provide our educational programmes in a way that encourages and enthuses people to explore their Jewish heritage and to achieve a deeper understanding and observance of their faith.

The charity has approximately 120 young students enrolled in our weekly Sunday classes. We also provide individual tuition to an average of 25 girls and boys a year in preparation for their Bat and Bar Mitzvah's (religious confirmations).

Programmes of activities and education are attended by some 125 adults weekly. In addition, guest speakers are arranged 8 - 10 times a year with an average attendance of 100 adults.

The weekly Sabbath services are attended by an average of 125 people with over 600 adults and 160 children attending over the High Holiday period.

THE CHABAD JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CENTRAL LONDON

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

Response to Covid-19

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity has been busier than ever ensuring the emotional, physical and spiritual well being of our community. The charity's activities as a response to the pandemic includes running over 200 online events, providing humanitarian services to the vulnerable and needy including deliveries of medical and essential groceries, providing over 5,000 Jewish Holiday and Shabbat care packages and essential kits, countless phone calls and online web meetings to the lonely and needy, shown solidarity and support to ten local hospitals, the Israeli Embassy, nursing homes, homeless shelters and the police force. Following the year end and the lifting of restrictions, the charity resumed in-person Shabbat, Festival, educational and lifecycle events and services, all in accordance with the Covid guidelines.

The coronavirus outbreak and subsequent lockdowns presented the charity with many financial challenges due to the reduction of outreach events and activities. However, the charity is immensely grateful to the generous donors and benefactors who assisted and increased their donations over the past year. As a result of the increased fundraising activities, the charity's incoming resources have not been materially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic

Financial review

Investment policy and objectives

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

Reserves policy

The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) that the charity ought to have. Reserves are needed to bridge the funding gaps between spending on activities and receiving resources through voluntary donations. The trustees consider that the ideal level of these reserves as at 28 February 2021 would be three months of resources expended which equates to £281,457.

As at 28 February 2021, the charity has total unrestricted funds of £2,405,856 (2020: £1,946,464) and endowment funds of £2,370,000 (2020: 1,100,000). Included in unrestricted funds is £2,000,000 of Designated funds set aside for upcoming projects and the expansion of the charity including Rabbinical assistance and a building project. Consequently, the charity has free reserves of £405,856 (2020: £446,464) after making allowance for the Designated funds.

The trustees are actively pursuing sources of funding in order to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to continue to provide financial stability and flexibility.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The main risk faced by the charity especially in uncertain economic times is a decline in fundraising and donations. In common with many charities we are highly dependent on (and thankful to) our many donors and supporters. We continue to explore ways of widening our fundraising base and have developed a reserves policy to help cushion any short-term fundraising shortfall.

Future plans

The future plans of the charity are to continue its charitable aims, whilst ensuring that the ability to generate sufficient income is maintained to achieve that end.

The trustees are continuously considering measures to ensure the financial stability of the charity for future periods. In 2020 the trustees successfully set up an endowment fund for the charity. As at 28 February 2021 the charity has received £2,370,000 for this fund. The charity is looking to increase its endowment fund to further provide ongoing financial support and stability.

The charity is also looking at measures to increase income and reduce operating expenses through the acquisition of capital assets.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHABAD JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CENTRAL LONDON

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Chabad Jewish Community Of Central London (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 28 February 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHABAD JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CENTRAL LONDON

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE CHABAD JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CENTRAL LONDON

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The charity is 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 105 Eade Road, Occ Building A, 2nd Floor, Unit 11a, London, N4 1TJ.

2. 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.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgments, 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 trustees do not consider there are any critical judgments or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed below.

Income

Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity is legally entitled to the funds after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

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.

Charitable activities

Charitable activities comprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

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.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

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

Designated Funds are Unrestricted Funds, which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes as noted below.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Designated Funds

The charity has committed itself to various long-term charitable projects and transfers are made to Designated Funds in accordance with the anticipated expenditure in respect of each individual project.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial instruments

Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other debtors that are classified as receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be received net of impairment.

Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other creditors that are classified as payable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid.
