Our sA ~~Y~~
It’s been quite a year.
A year of picking up the pieces in the wake of a lingering pandemic, a year where Hatzola’s team were kept only busier than ever with increasing cases of Covid and long-term Covid.
But through it all, hope finally shone brightly– a vaccine had now been developed and would soon become available to help protect lives and communities.
In record time, vaccines became available for the public. Fear and uncertainty hovered within the community, who turned to Hatzola and medical professionals for advice. Which would be lower, the risks of the vaccine or the risks of the virus? Who would be eligible to receive a vaccine? How safe were they? How would they be accessed?
Our brave volunteers stepped up to the plate, giving the national vaccination efforts their ‘best shot’. Through their work, over 1,000 people were vaccinated against covid-19.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2021. We thank our volunteers, staff and supporters for enabling us to aim higher and better still, and be part of the humbling, inspiring experience of providing lifesaving and preventative care.

GOVERNING DOCUMENT
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The charity is run by the board of directors, also called the trustees, who are required to apply the charity’s resources to achieve its charitable objects, and to provide strategic leadership of the charity’s work. There are currently five trustees with wide ranging skills and experience relevant to the charity’s activities. All trustees were provided with a full induction into the charity’s work prior to their appointment, and they meet regularly to govern and lead the charity’s work.

At every hour, day or night, Hatzola can be counted on to arrive at the scene within those crucial first minutes. Each crisis is dealt with efficiently and compassionately, each patient presented with highquality care and knowledgeable advice, significantly improving health outcomes. Hatzola’s interventions often literally spell the difference between life and death for patients.
In life-threatening situations, patients will be stabilised and transported to hospital. Volunteers are also able to treat minor injuries on-site, thus avoiding unnecessary hospitalisation.

With many vulnerable patients still isolating at home, Hatzola rose above the call of duty by offering home visits. These were for practical purposes, to deal with any medical questions and evaluate the need for hospitalisation, but equally for emotional peace of mind – patients revelled in the warmth volunteers gave, knowing that Hatzola will always have their back. With Hatzola’s ongoing support and assistance, hundreds of patients with Covid symptoms were supported to remain home when it was safe to do so, avoiding further risk and drains on public resources.
COvid 19 reguLATiONs
Hatzola’s activities, regulations and requirements were subject to many changes during this period, in line with evolving Public Health and government guidance. Adaptation to operations and services were implemented accordingly.
Hatzola, being a respected community voice in healthcare matters, conveyed Public Health guidance to the community by advertising regularly in local publications in three languages, for maximum reach in the community.

COmmuNiTY AWAreNess ANd eduCATiON
Frequent changes to Covid guidelines and public health messaging resulted in widespread confusion, particularly where people had limited digital and media access . Hatzola worked to address this by publishing widely-disseminated culturally-friendly materials, twice posting letters to thousands of households in the locality. Additionally, on every emergency call out, Hatzola left behind an information card detailing steps to be taken if Covid symptoms are identified, and how to stay safe.
Upon recommendation for school children to be tested weekly for Covid-19, to minimise exposure and spread the virus, Hatzola joined with the local Public Health team to support students in doing this, appointing volunteers to support each school individually with implementation of guidelines.

ImmuNisATiON effOrTs
The UK’s biggest vaccination programme launched in December 2020, with the ambitious goal of vaccinating the country within the year. Recognizing the need to directly engage with the North London Orthdox Jewish community around vaccination uptake, Hatzola immediately stepped in to national vaccination efforts. Hatzola provided relevant, trusted information a free helpline, adverts in local circulars and widely-distributed materials. Hatzola then facilitated three vaccination events across the months of February and March, initiated by Hatzola, and funded by The City and Hackney Confederation of GPs, where 8 of the vaccinators were Hatzola’s own members.
Hatzola also worked to make vaccines accessible to everyone. Appointments could be booked through Hatzola, who shared a booking system with the local GP service. Where needed, transport was provided to appointments, with Hatzola even arranging home visits for the housebound. Working creatively and tirelessly, Hatzola accomplished a daunting feat – vaccinating a large section of an insular community, in several weeks. Over 1,000 vaccinations were facilitated by Hatzola by July 2021.
‘The Covid-19 vaccination programme has been one of the few almost unqualified successes of the UK’s response to the pandemic.
~~System-working, joining up the NHS, local government and the voluntary sector~~ was a hallmark of the vaccine roll-out. ~~Local knowledge and delivery were crucial. Volunteers also played a vital role, n~~ ot just in acting as stewards at vaccination sites, but ~~also in terms of community outreach, for example with faith communities~~ and others offering sites for vaccination which in turn built trust in the vaccine and in the NHS.’

Hatzola’s vaccination drives were lauded as examples of excellent coproduction between public sector and community organisations and attracted some notable visitors, with Nadim Zahawi, the then-Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care and Philip Glanville, Mayor of Hackney attending the February event and the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan joining the March vaccination drive. A prior immunisation event on was frontpage-featured on 13th February 2021 in the Independent.
Huge thanks to local NHS, Hackney Council and first responders in the Hatzola ambulance service who are encouraging vaccination in the Jewish community. Vaccines will save thousands of lives and help us get out of the pandemic.
Nadhim Zahawi
Then- Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care
It’s so uplifting to see for myself the brilliant work Hatzola are doing with the NHS and the council [in] encouraging more Orthodox Jewish Londoners to take their vaccine.
Sadiq Khan
Mayor of London
I was impressed with the work that community leaders are doing to encourage the community to comply with coronavirus regulations. I think it is very important that all communities come forward for vaccination.

~~PArTNersHiPs~~
Hatzola works alongside hospitals and emergency services in and around the area to coordinate professional care for patients, including the Homerton University Hospital, Royal London Hospital, Whittington Hospital and other outlying hospitals; the London Ambulance Service, London Fire and Rescue, the Metropolitan Police and the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service. These relationships are proving crucial for liaison between health services and the community as the pandemic continues.
Building on Hatzola’s ongoing partnership with the City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group, we were able to establish excellent communication lines with several local hospitals, including The Royal London Hospital and Homerton University Hospital. This allowed us to support families’ connection with loved ones even as visitation limits prevailed.
Joint work around vaccination drives was initiated by Hackney Council’s Public Health department and the City and Hackney Confederation of GPs. Close and productive working relationships with public sector partners have helped Hatzola achieve the shared goals of improving the public’s health and wellbeing and reducing ill-health and mortality during the ongoing pandemic and health crisis.

24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Hatzola’s volunteer dispatchers are on shift, ready to answer emergency calls. They deal with a wide range of calls, including road accidents, home emergencies, work injuries, emergency childbirth, and other urgent health needs, with many relating to Covid in this period. This year, Hatzola Implemented an improved Computer Aided Dispatch system, which made dispatching smoother and speedier, as well as satisfying all regulations.

This year the charity embarked on a training course to upgrade the skill sets of 8 of its current emergency responder volunteers to Paramedic level to ensure the organisation continues to deliver the highest level of clinical care and skills to the local community, thus ensuring excellent patient outcomes.
15
Our fuTure PLANs
Hatzola’s overarching goal is to ensure the continuity of its professional and compassionate emergency response and public health service; a growing target community and lingering pandemic have increased demand. To further these aims Hatzola will focus on these specific strands in the next year:
-
Services: Expansion of our dispatch and emergency technician team by recruitment and induction; continued professional development and training of current team members; upgrading to digitalised patient record system for enhanced data collection and compliance with GDPR.
-
Additional Ambulances: Expand ambulance fleet with at least two new vehicles.
-
Capital Project: Ambulance Bay and Building: Together with Hatzola Trust, the charity has embarked on a capital project to secure premises for a permanent base for the operations of the charity. This highly anticipated project will give Hatzola a permanent and purpose-built base and will enhance quality, efficiency and reach of all current services, as well as enabling the charity to develop new services according to community need.
-
Finances: Ensure financial sustainability by exploring
-
new avenues of fundraising, in addition to expanding existing funding streams.
-
Compliance: Continued careful examination of our methodology and processes to ascertain all regulatory requirements are satisfied.

INdePeNdeNT AudiTOr’s rePOrT TO THe members Of HATZOLA TrusT LimiTed YeAr eNded 31 juLY 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Hatzola Trust Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 July 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 July 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
19
-
the information given in the trustees’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by
exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company, and determined that the most relevant to the presentation of the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting legislation (UK GAAP and the Companies Act 2006), the relevant tax regulations in the United Kingdom, the Landlord and Tenant Act, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health & Safety Regulations and the Bribery Act. We understood how the company is complying with those frameworks through discussion with the trustees and senior management, and by identifying the company’s policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We also identified those members of management who have the primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, and for reporting any known instances of non-compliance to the trustees. We communicated these identified frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We discussed with the trustees and senior management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with these legal and regulatory frameworks.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by reviewing the company’s identified risks and enquiry with the trustees and senior management during the planning and finalisation phases of our audit. The susceptibility to such material misstatement was determined to be low.
-
Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify noncompliance with the identified legal and regulatory frameworks, which were part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Our procedures included reviewing the company’s internal controls policies and procedures, reviewing the minutes of board meetings and correspondence with regulatory bodies including HMRC, testing transactions outside the normal course of the
20
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Long leasehold property 25% straight line
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 25% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable
