Mosaic Jewish Community Limited
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 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 December 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Objectives
The principal objectives of the charity are to advance the beliefs and values of progressive Judaism for the benefit of the public and to provide, maintain and carry on a place or places of worship on behalf of the member synagogues and to conduct activities consistent with the objectives of the three member synagogues.
Activities
The charity provides a range of religious and cultural activities.
Public benefit
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities provide benefit to both community members and the wider communities of Stanmore, Pinner, Bushey, Harrow and surrounding areas. These activities include the provision of accommodation for its constituent synagogues for religious worship, religious education for both children and adults, inter-faith dialogue, a wide range of cultural activities such as music performances, book and film clubs, art and photography groups, community care and support for the welfare of members of community
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The financial position of Mosaic Jewish Community Limited as at 31 December 2025 is set out in the attached balance sheet on page 4 and financial results for year ended on that date are set out in the statement of financial activities on page 3.
Income and expenditure has further increased in the last year. However, expenditure is allocated to and recovered from the three communities that make up Mosaic Jewish Community and therefore, only minimal income or expenditure is reflected in the accounts and no surplus or deficit is generated by its financial activities.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The charity will continue to maintain and extend its relationship with Mosaic Reform, Mosaic Masorti and Mosaic Liberal Synagogues.
Note on Lease Agreement
On 24 January 2024, Mosaic Jewish Community Limited signed an Underlease with Mosaic Reform Synagogue (the Superior Leaseholder) on the premises at 1a Halsbury Close, Stanmore, HA7 3DY, for a period ending on 31 December 2029, at an annual rent of a peppercorn. On the same date, Mosaic Jewish Community Limited granted licences to occupy those premises to Mosaic Liberal, Mosaic Masorti and Mosaic Reform synagogues, also for periods ending on 31 December 2029. The licences included terms on which the 3 synagogues would manage their shared occupation of the premises, including how the costs of the shared premises, and of other joint activities, would be allocated across the 3 synagogues. These licence terms replicated the bases on which the costs of the premises and other joint activities had been allocated since 1a Halsbury Close was initially occupied in 2022, and throughout 2023.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustees are recruited from existing members of the three synagogues that make up the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Organisational structure
The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees will normally meet together as a body regularly as a board. In addition, the charity also holds a General Meeting of its Company Members and Congregant Members on an annual basis. The board is responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the charity and its activities. To assist in the smooth running of the charity, the trustees will appoint additional members of the board who will help to oversee certain aspects of the charity's work.
Induction and training of new trustees
Following election and appointment, new trustees are introduced to their role and guidance on the policies and procedures adopted by the charity. They are given a role on the board to represent a particular aspect of the charity's activity.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Directors reviewed and revised the Risk Register in January 2025 to reflect the current situation of the community following its move to Stanmore in 2022.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Mosaic Jewish Community Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 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.
Independent examiner's statement
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 Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.
