Reference and administrative information
Reference and administrative information is shown on page 1 of the financial statements and forms part of this report.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objects for public benefit
The object of the charity is the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish Faith. The trustees confirm that they have given regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities, and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Grantmaking
In general the trustees select the institutions to be supported according to their personal knowledge of work of the institution. Whilst not actively inviting applications, they are always prepared to accept any application which will be carefully considered and help given according to circumstances and funds then available. Applications by individuals must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation by the applicant's minister or other known religious leader.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the year the charity continued its philanthropic activities and has maintained its support of organisations engaging in advancement of religion, education and the relief of poverty. The synagogue continues to be used daily for prayer and for study about the Orthodox Jewish Faith and way of life. There are lectures and facilities for personal study. Social gatherings are held on the Sabbath and festivals. The charity also raises money for the Grand Rabbi of Toldos Aharon's network of schools and talmudical colleges.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees do not seek to maintain reserves, other than to ensure that the activities of the charity can continue. Reserves at the year end were £440,263 (2023 - £338,420).
FUTURE PLANS
The charity plans to continue its activities for the foreseeable future subject to satisfactory income.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Constitution
The charity is constituted as limited company and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 18 March 2015.
Organisational structure
The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the board. It is not the intention of the trustees to appoint any new trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the trustee will apply suitable recruitment induction and training procedures.
Risk management
The trustees have confirmed that there are no major risks to which the charity is exposed.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Toldos Aharon Trust Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 30 January 2025 and signed on its behalf by:
L Reiner - Trustee

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TOLDOS AHARON TRUST LIMITED
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Toldos Aharon Trust Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
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
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received from donations and other income is accounted for when received.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised in the year in which they are incurred and includes irrecoverable VAT which is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.
Support costs are those incurred to assist the work of the charity but are not direct charitable activities
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
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 amount expected to be received or paid and not discounted.
