TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in March 2005.
Objectives and activities
The Objectives of the Charity, Chabad Golders Green (Chabad GG), are as follows: to promote the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish Faith through Jewish education; to provide social welfare and conduct services, meetings, and educational facilities following the principles of Orthodox Jewish laws and practices; to pursue other charitable purposes recognised by English law and to collaborate with similar bodies.
The Trustees have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission when deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
Public Benefit
The trustees and officers consider Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when carrying out the charity’s activities. They believe that the charity's "open door" approach to reaching out to beneficiaries across the community reflects and fulfils its legal obligation to ensure public benefit in everything it aims to do.
Safeguarding
Chabad GG places great importance on safeguarding young people and other vulnerable individuals. Since 2015, they have worked closely with the Chabad UK Head Office and NSPCC to create and enforce a comprehensive safeguarding policy. This policy ensures that all relevant individuals receive regular training appropriate for their roles.
The policy was last reviewed in September 2024 in consultation with the NSPCC, and procedures are already in place to ensure everyone is fully aware of it and understands their responsibilities.
With Gratitude and Thanks
Chabad GG is extremely thankful to everyone who has devoted their time and effort to advance the Charity's mission. The team members, including volunteers, have consistently shown selflessness by prioritising the charity's goals and collaborating to achieve its main objectives. Their commitment and dedication have been critical in supporting the charity's mission.
Achievements and performance
Chabad of GG offers Jewish educational classes, cultural resources, welfare resources, and religious services in and around Golders Green. Our events and programs, including large Friday night dinners, have experienced significant growth in popularity and attendance. We are proud to have hosted over 6,000 people from various backgrounds at our diverse programs and events.
Summary of key activities
The Charity provides a variety of community services, including hospital visitations, mezuzah checking, koshering of the kitchen, and most importantly, unwavering support for the community during significant life events including baby naming, circumcision ceremonies, pidyon haben, bar/bat mitzvah celebrations, birthdays, weddings (including education on Jewish marriage laws), funerals, stone settings, Shiva services, and Yizkor remembrance services.
All of our activities are guided by our commitment to promoting kindness, a non-judgmental open-door policy, respect for one another, family unity, Charity, and peace. We strive to create a secure and welcoming environment for all.

Adult Education
The Charity’s mission is to make Jewish knowledge accessible and personally meaningful to everyone regardless of background or affiliation. Chabad GG’s ongoing Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) courses is one of their varied adult education programmes. JLI’s insightful curriculum is ground-breaking. It uses scholastic techniques, embraces a “multiple intelligence” model, and uses multimedia in various approaches to captivate, educate, and emotionally stimulate all kinds of minds in a vibrant Jewish learning experience.
This year's JLI courses were titled JLI World of Kabbalah (Nov/Dec 23), JLI Advice for Life (Feb/Mar 24), and JLI Decisions of Fate (May/June 24).
Welfare Support

The Charity offers a supportive ear and, when needed, connects individuals with the appropriate professionals.
Friday Night Dinners

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Tzivos Hashem UK is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 2 Western Avenue, London, NW11 9HH.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold improvements 10 years Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

TZIVOS HASHEM UK
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
