Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2022

Structure, governance and management

Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch Schools is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 05 November 2015 as a company and the company number is 9858903. It was registered as a charity on 22 July 2016 with a charity number being 1168395.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and with the consent of the trustees. The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation.

There is no chief executive officer. The day-to-day affairs are undertaken by Mrs S Klyne on behalf of the trustees. All major decisions are taken collectively by the trustees and all the trustees give of their time freely. The trustees are unpaid and details of any related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts. The arrangements for setting the pay of the charity’s employees are the sole domain of the trustees.

Training and induction of trustees is applied as applicable.

Risk review

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.

The risks faced by the trust are principally operational risks from ineffective running of the school. These risks are managed by the trustees ensuring the right staff are utilised and the right policies are implemented.

Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all aspects of the school management.

Risk Management

The process of examining the risks to which the Charity is exposed is ongoing and the trustees are planning to further develop systems to monitor and control these risks in order to lessen their potential impact on the Charity.

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

The objects of the charity are: (i) for the public benefit to promote the education (including social and leisure aspects of education) of people under the age of 25 years in the North of England in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, including awarding to such persons scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants; or by grants to charities or other organisations that provide education; or by the provision of education. (ii) The prevention or relief of poverty or financial hardship in the North of England by providing grants or loans to individuals in need and / or charities or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty or financial hardship.

Aims

The main aim of the Charity continued to be the provision of a preschool nursery, and educational facilities to Jewish girls, for children aged 2 to 17.

Objectives for the year

This year, the focus has been on the continued achievement of academic performance.

Principal Activities of the year

The nursery and girl's school provided education to 90 children aged 2 to 17. This was achieved by the charity managing a preschool nursery and girls' school.

Achievements and performance

Results for the year

Donation income in the year amounted to £19,882. Income in respect of contributions and fees amounted to £129,845. Grants receivable amounted to £77,617. Bank Interest receivable during the year amounted to £50.

Direct educational expenditure in the year amounted to £232,455.

The charity incurred support and governance costs in the year amounting to £14,414. The majority of the support costs can be attributed to administrative wages.

A portion of the above income relates to restricted funds received from the Community Security Trust and Salford City Council. We refer the users of the accounts to note 17 for an amalgamated figure of the restricted income received and its subsequent expenditure.

The school building is owned by a different charity. The trustees are grateful for the use of the building to enable this charity to dispense education to children as outlined above.

There were no investments made during the year.

Related party transactions in the reporting period are as disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

The school was subject to an OFSTED inspection in a previous year. The trustees are proud to report that the school attained a GOOD grading from the inspectors.

There was a net expenditure and net movement in funds for the year amounting to £19,475.

Financial review

Reserves Policy

The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves held by the Charity. The review has concluded that to allow the Charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer for uninterrupted services the level of free reserves, being those not tied up in fixed assets, needs to be maintained at not less than six months expenditure.

The free reserves, represented by the net current assets of the charity stand at £104,655, all of which are unrestricted.

Coronavirus

The charity has not been materially affected by the coronavirus. The charity received £489 in JRS income from HMRC.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch Schools

Year ended 31 August 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch Schools ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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

  4. the financial statements 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).

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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:

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:

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.

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.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

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.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
