Objectives and Activities

a. Policies and objectives

The company's objective is to provide, for youth in the United Kingdom, facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation; such facilities to be provided in the interests of social welfare within the meaning and subject to conditions of the Recreational Charities Act 1958; also to promote the education of the public and the advancement of religion among youth in the United Kingdom.

The Trustees have developed their strategic plans to ensure that the Company plans provides public benefit and achieves its objectives as set out in the Memorandum of Association. These objectives fall under the purposes defined by the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Company's aims and objectives, and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned objectives will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

b. Strategies for achieving objectives

The Company's main long-term strategy is to use the sports ground to provide the finest sporting facilities possible for the local community. In addition, the Company's long-term strategy is to make Maccabi London the focal point for the local youth community.

c. Activities for achieving objectives

From 1 January 2013, the charitable Company took over the operations of the Rowley Lane sports ground and have continued to operate it throughout the period to 30 June 2025.

On a day to day basis, the charitable Company currently focuses on providing venue facilities that are used for a diverse range of activities, for example nursery education, dance and other social events. However, the Company's main focus is to encourage the community to use its sporting facilities. Football is its main focus and teams of all ages are actively encouraged to participate. To date, teams ranging from under 6 through to over 55's (Masters) regularly play at Rowley Lane sports ground. The all-weather pitch generates significant levels of income.

Achievements and performance

Whilst there was no major capital expenditure during the financial year, the attack on Israel on October 7th 2023 caused the Board of Trustees to embark upon a major review of security which has resulted in additional ongoing costs.

There continues to be a necessity to hire specialised security personnel on site along with support from CST and their volunteer teams on site. In addition to this there was a requirement to upgrade and enhance several areas of the security including entrances and exits, alarms, personal attack alarms, stab vests, new walkie talkie systems and in addition a full site review of CCTV requirements.

The charity continues to grow, although booking for the Clubhouse continue to be lower than originally forecast and some changes have been made in order to improve this income stream. Rowley Lane continues to be made available for a number of Charities to use the venue in to help with their fund raising activities and in some case just for the use of the facilities.

Overall, the Charity's income was £466,000; this was £379,000 lower than the previous year, due to £306,000 less donations received, £85,000 less income from charitable and fund - raising activities and £12,000 more other income. Donations and fundraising were higher in the prior year due to income from the fundrasing campaign to raise funds focussed on enhancing security. Expenditure decreased by £39,000 to £641,000, mainly due to decreased expenditure on fundraising activities.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquires, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company had adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

b. Reserves policy

At the balance sheet date, the charity's total funds had decreased by £176,000 to £1,113,000. This is mainly the result of a decrease in fundraising this year. Of this sum, £968,000 is represented by fixed assets at the year end, a decrease of £133,000 from 30 June 2024. The charity has net current assets of £144,000 at 30 June 2025. The charity is continuing to monitor the cash flow carefully.

The charity will adequately fund day to day activities in the foreseeable future. The charity is operating within its target minimum level of current assets of at least £30,000. Over the medium term, the trustees aim to build reserves to fund an expansion of the charity's activities and further improve the charity's facilities. Discussion are under way to organise the next fund raising event during 2026 in order to be able to adequately support and fund the day to day operations and in addition have reserves to consider any further repairs and improvements to the site.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 26 July 2012. It is a registered charity (number 1149701).

The purposes of the charitable company are to promote all purposes recognised as charitable under the law of England and Wales and in particular the promotion of, and the provision of facilities for, participation in sport, recreation and education, particularly (but not exclusively) in the Jewish community and with an emphasis on youth in sport and recreation.

b. Method of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.

c. Risk management

The Trustees routinely assess the major risks to which the Company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Company, ensuring that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. They review this assessment regularly.

The Trustees meet a few times every year to review financial and operating information and to discuss fundraising and capital projects.

Trustees’ responsibilities statement

The Trustees (who are also directors of Maccabi London Brady Recreational Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Maccabi London Brady Recreational Trust (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - Charities SORP (FRS 102); FRS 102, the Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard); and the Companies Act 2006.

Maccabi London Brady Recreational Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

Income

Income received from donations, Gift Aid Tax and charitable activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be reliably measured. Income received in advance of the provision of services is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Government and other grants for the purpose of giving immediate financial support with no future related costs, including those from the Government job retention scheme, are recognised under the accrual model as income in the period in which it becomes receivable.

Expenditure

Expenditure, inclusive of any VAT that cannot be recovered, is recognised once there is a legal and constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and included project management carried in Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of raising funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

over the term of the lease, or useful life of 10 Short-term leasehold property years Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance Computer equipment 25% reducing balance Sports equipment 25% reducing balance

Maccabi London Brady Recreational Trust (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of costs and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any trade discount offered and impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discount due.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising funds and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Pensions

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
