TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and as such its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission and its charity number is 1146605. The company registration number is 07825327.
The Woodstock Mikvah Limited also uses the name Maalos Kedoshim Mikvah.
Appointment, training and recruitment of trustees
The trustees have no beneficial interest in the company as it is a company limited by guarantee and are chosen by agreement of trustees at an annual meeting. The choice is based on applicants' business and community knowledge.
New trustees are subject to trustee induction training which includes an understanding of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, their legal obligations under Charity Act and Company Law, the organisational structure of charity and the recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events which enhance their knowledge and skill thereby improving the performance of their role.
Management of the charity
The day-to-day affairs of the charity are administered by the staff and managed by the council of Trustees. Staff are remunerated in line with roles with similar responsibilities in the charity sector.
Related parties and co-operations with other organisations
None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee of the charity with a supplier company must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity's objectives are primarily to provide and maintain a ritual pool or pools for immersion for religious purposes for members of the Jewish faith. In particular the charity was set up to provide and maintain the Woodstock Mikvah in the North West London area.
The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the charity continued to maintain a ritual pool for immersion for religious purposes.
The trustees consider that the performance of the charity has been satisfactory this year as the statement of financial activities shows the net surplus of £807 (2024: £21,649).
Total income in the year was £426,265 (2024: £371,629) which represents an increase of over 14%.
Total expenditure in the year was £425,458 (2024: £349,980) which represents an increase of over 20% on the previous year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face;
-
the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review;
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity. Attention has also been focussed on non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of the service users. These risks are managed by having robust policies and procedures in place, and annual checks and tests by third party companies to ensure a safe environment. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures manage any perceived risks.
Reserves Policy
As at 31 March 2025, £652,985 (2024: £652,178) was held as unrestricted funds.
The charity has a reserve policy to ensure that it is in a position to continue its charitable activities at a level consistent to those which have been maintained in recent years or above that level and to cover contingencies.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory incoming resources.
SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WOODSTOCK MIKVAH LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Woodstock Mikvah Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 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
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Incoming resources
All income is 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:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
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:
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
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.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consists of capitalised development costs related to research and development activities - this class of assets is carried under the cost model.
All research costs are expensed. Costs related to the development of products are capitalised when they meet the following conditions:
-

-

-

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Intangible assets (continued)
All other development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
Software development costs - Over 10 years
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
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.
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:
| Land & building | - | Over 50 years |
|---|---|---|
| Plant & machinery | - | Over 10 years |
| Fixtures & fittings | - | Over 15 years |
| Equipment | - | 20% reducing balance |
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due and prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount due.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Trade and other debtors
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
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 discounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid.
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
The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. The liability of every member is limited to £10 in the event of winding up.
