Report of the trustees for the year ended 31st December 2024
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2024. Accounts have been prepared on the receipts and payments basis.
Structure, governance and management
Menucha V’Simcha is a charitable incorporated organisation and was registered as a charity, number 1159607, on 12th December 2014. The charity has 3 trustees who meet on an ad hoc basis to consider, inter alia, specific projects that request grants and the overall furtherance of the objectives of the charity. All the trustees passionately believe in the charity’s objectives and give of their time without payment.
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The Charity was established to advance the Jewish faith for the benefit of the public. It aims to achieve this charitable purpose by the promotion and preservation of the Sabbath and by encouraging the celebration and understanding of the Sabbath.
The Sabbath provides an opportunity to connect with those who are important in people's lives and connect on a deeper spiritual level. Judaism believes that the Sabbath provides both Menucha (tranquillity) and Simcha (happiness), hence the name of the Charity 'Menucha v'Simcha'.
The Charity seeks to advance its purpose by holding a variety of innovative but simple events that promote the observance of the Sabbath and that, in particular, seek to attract people to experience one night a week where they can spend a few hours without the distraction of the modern world (away from busy jobs and the distractions of social media), where they can enjoy the company of family and friends and of the wider community.
Many of these events take place on Friday night itself or at other times of the week to prepare for the Friday night. The events are open to all and have a social aspect that would be underpinned by formal religious teachings regarding the observation of the Sabbath. These activities equate to a modern and more inclusive and engaging approach to religious teaching, of the type which has always taken place on the Sabbath.
Financial Review
The Charity has prepared its annual return on a receipts and payments basis. In summary this showed donations received of £nil, with grants made of £nil and expenses of £122, leaving cash in the bank of £997.
Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others
The Charity does not hold any such funds.
Achievements and performance
Post COVID the Charity has struggled to find grant requests in line with its objectives.
Looking forward
The charity is re-evaluating its modus operandi following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
