TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
The Trustees present their Annual Report of Maaseh Tzedukeh V’Chesed the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”) along with the Unaudited Accounts (“the Accounts”) of the CIO for the year from 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2023. The Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies set out on Page 8 and comply with the Constitution of the CIO (“the Constitution”) and applicable law.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Trustees shall stand possessed of the Trust Fund upon trust to pay or apply the whole of the income and the capital of the Trust Fund to or towards or in furtherance or for the benefit of such one or more charities, charitable institutions or charitable purposes in any part of the world in such shares and in such manner as the Trustees in their absolute discretion may from time to time determine provided always that:
-
The Trustees shall have power if they so think fit to make payments direct to individual persons in any part of the world (provided that such persons shall qualify as charitable beneficiaries according to English Law) and shall not be limited to making payments to organisations or institutions.
-
Nothing in the Constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for the purposes which are not charitable.
The CIO’s principal objectives are as follows:
-
A. The advancement of the Orthodox Jewish Faith.
-
B. The relief of poverty, sickness and infirmity;
-
C. To help young people, especially but not exclusively through leisure time activities, so as to develop their skills and capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.
Charities and Public Benefit
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the CIO complies with that guidance.
Grant Making Policy
To act according to the Constitution which enables grants to be made from both income and capital. All applications to the CIO for grants, donations or loans are considered carefully by the Trustees at regular meetings. On most occasions, if the Trustees feel that the application meets their approval in principle, they will meet the applicants face to face and discuss with them the most effective way of providing assistance. The Trustees then usually have a further meeting before making a decision as to whether assistance should be granted, and if so, in what form and to what level.
The Trustees find that, in most cases, this is the most effective way of aiding Charitable Institutions and Beneficiaries as it allows the Trustees a degree of flexibility in terms of deciding whether they will assist by way of a Donation or a Charitable Loan and also ensures that each application to the CIO is considered fairly.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trustees support has been substantially to other UK Registered Charities who themselves support Institutions caring for the poor and sick, who qualify as Charitable Beneficiaries under English Law because they are UK Registered Charities.
The CIO also supported individuals in Israel, the UK and USA who the Trustees were satisfied qualified as Charitable Beneficiaries in accordance with English Law.
During the current year, the Trustees are delighted to announce that the CIO made donations of some £127k in the year ended 30 November 2022 (2022: £147k) to Charitable Beneficiaries and Institutions that support such Beneficiaries.
Monies are raised by way of Charitable Donations received from Charitable Foundations, Corporate Donors and Individuals.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of the Charity’s Financial Position
The CIO’s Incoming Resources amounted to some £101k ( 2022: £118k) . Resources Expended amounted to some £129k ( 2022: £153k ) and hence there was a surplus/(deficit) for the year of some £(27k) (2022: £(35k )). The CIO’s Funds increased/(decreased) by the same amount (2022: increased/(decreased) by the same amount).
Investments Policy
The CIO operates a Current Bank Account on which interest is earned.
Reserves Policy
The CIO does not normally retain cash, however, at the Balance Sheet date it had some £663 (year ended 30 November 2022: £70) in the bank together with Other Debtors less Creditors of some £(396k) (year ended 30 November 2022: £(368k). (See Note 12).
Going Concern
The Trustees have prepared the Accounts on a going concern basis in their opinion it is appropriate to presume that the CIO will continue in operation.
Investments Policy
The CIO holds a current account. The policy of the CIO is to continue holding this account for its ongoing charitable project expenditure.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)
Risk Management
The first is the risk of a reduction in donations. The Trustees feel that this is beyond their control, however, they continue to monitor the situation on an ongoing basis.
Secondly, there is a risk that Charitable Loans will not be repaid. This is mitigated by the careful consideration and interviewing of applicants by the Trustees prior to any funding being provided. To date, the CIO has not had to write off any loans.
The Trustees regularly undertake a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and systems designed to mitigate those risks are considered on an ongoing basis.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The CIO is governed by the Constitution which is dated 20 January 2014 and was Registered with the Charity Commission on 14 April 2014 under Charity Registration Number 1156669.
The Trustees in office in the year were as follows:
B. Davidovits J. Lew J. Teitelbaum Mrs. E. R. Teitelbaum
The power of appointing new Trustees or a new Trustee thereof shall be exercisable by the persons who are, for the time being, the Trustees hereof.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
MAASEH TZEDUKEH V’CHESED
Charity Registration Number 1156669
FOR THE YEAR 1 DECEMBER 2022 TO 30 NOVEMBER 2023
I report to the Trustees of Maaseh Tzedukeh V’Chesed the Charity Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”) on my examination of the Unaudited Accounts (“the Accounts”) of the CIO for the year ended 30 November 2023.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the CIO’s Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the Accounts of the CIO are not required to be audited for this year under Section 144 of the 2011 Act and are eligible for Independent Examination, I report in respect of my examination of CIO’s Accounts as carried out under Section 145 of 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 material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the Accounts do not accord with such records
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 save as for the issue in the following four paragraphs:
In order to meet the CIO’s Commitments, the CIO had originally borrowed £14.5k from Millage Limited (“the Lender”). The loan increased during the year to some £395k by the year end.
Mrs. E. R. Teitelbaum, a Trustee of the CIO, is the controlling party of the Lender. Her husband J. Teitelbaum, also a Trustee of the CIO, is the Sole Director of the Lender. The terms of the £366k loan are such that the loan is interest free and is repayable on demand. The CIO has received a letter of Comfort from the Lender that it is not their intention to demand repayment of the loan within the foreseeable future.
A second loan in the sum of £152,500 (2022: £152,500) was procured from the Grandmother of two of the Trustees Mr J and Mrs. E. R. Teitelbaum on the same terms as the loan from Millage Limited.
Given the above, the Accounts of the CIO have been prepared on a going concern basis.
