JBOX LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08796080)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

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 March 2025. 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).

JBOX Ltd is a UK-registered charity dedicated to supporting and empowering young people through a programme of educational, social, and cultural activities. The charity delivers a wide range of events and initiatives in London designed to promote personal development, strengthen community engagement, and encourage a deeper connection to Jewish heritage and values.

Alongside its UK-based work, JBOX provides support to JTLV, a partner organisation based in Tel Aviv that delivers similar programmes for young English-speaking professionals and immigrants. Through this collaboration, the two organisations work together to build inclusive and supportive communities, enabling young people to develop meaningful connections, enhance their sense of belonging, and engage in shared experiences grounded in tradition and common values.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity’s primary purpose is to support and empower young people by acting as a resource through the provision of advice, guidance, and assistance, as well as by organising a range of physical, educational, and developmental programmes. These activities are designed to help young people progress in life by developing their skills, capacities, and confidence, enabling them to participate in society as independent, responsible, and engaged individuals. In furtherance of these aims, the charity seeks to advance education, support pathways into employment, and help relieve unemployment.

In addition, the charity provides recreational and leisure opportunities in the interests of social welfare, particularly for individuals who face disadvantage due to age, disability, poverty, or challenging social and economic circumstances. Through access to inclusive activities and facilities, the charity aims to improve quality of life and promote wellbeing.

The charity also seeks to relieve financial hardship by providing, or assisting in the provision of, education, training, and other forms of practical support. More broadly, it works to provide or support facilities for recreation and leisure for those in need, with the overall objective of improving life chances, social inclusion, and long-term wellbeing.

Significant activities

During the year, the charity continued to deliver a programme of events in London in furtherance of its charitable objectives. In addition, JBOX provided financial support to JTLV, a partner organisation based in Tel Aviv that delivers similar initiatives focused on supporting young people and fostering community development. Grants paid to JTLV during the year amounted to £77,909 (2024: £136,011), reflecting an increased level of activity and support compared with the previous year.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and planning its activities. They are satisfied that both the charity’s direct programmes and its grant-making to partner organisations are carried out for the public benefit.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year ended 31 March 2025, the charity generated total unrestricted income of £247,185 (2024: £216,956) and incurred total expenditure of £276,082 (2024: £289,929), resulting in a net deficit for the year of £28,897 (2024: £72,973). As a consequence, unrestricted funds decreased from £33,756 at the start of the year to £4,859 at 31 March 2025.

Although expenditure exceeded income during the year, the trustees consider that the charity remains able to meet its obligations, with cash balances of £6,512 at the year end and creditors of £1,800 falling due within one year. The trustees continue to monitor income, expenditure, and reserves carefully and believe that the charity’s financial position remains stable, allowing it to continue delivering its charitable objectives while managing resources prudently.

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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JBOX LTD

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Jbox Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts 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 your 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.

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 Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts 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

  3. the accounts 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.
