DIRECTORS’/TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

The Directors, who are also the Trustees (“Directors/Trustees”) present their Annual Report together with the Unaudited Statutory Accounts (“the Accounts”) of the company known since 1 January 2022 as the Partnership for Jewish Schools Limited (“the Charity/Company” but known until 31 December 2021 as Jewish Schools Network Limited). The Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies set out on Page 9 and comply with the Charity/Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and applicable law.

As at 1 January 2022 the company acquired by transfer, part of an existing operation from the Jewish Leadership Council (“JLC”) – a company limited by guarantee – Company Registration Number 05742840 and whose year end is also 31st December). That part of the organisation had operated as a division of the JLC and was called Partnership for Jewish Schools (“PaJes”). As part of that acquisition and with the express consent of the JLC, the Charity/Company - Number 09768676 changed its name and transferred its operations and projects for Jewish schools and education under the new name Partnership for Jewish Schools Limited.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Trustees stand possessed of the Trust Fund which they hold for the Charity/Company to further the objects of the Charity/Company, which are:

(“the Objects”)

At present, the Charity/Company provides Educational support and makes donations/grants to other organisations, in the United Kingdom, recognised as Charitable in English Law.

Public Benefit

The Directors/Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit as published by the Charity Commission when exercising their powers or duties.

Grant Making Policy

All applications to the Charity/Company for grants are considered carefully by the Directors/Trustees at regular meetings. On most occasions, if the Directors/Trustees feel that the application meets their approval in principle, they will meet applicants face to face and discuss with them details of the application. The Directors/Trustees usually then have a further meeting before making a decision as to whether assistance should be granted, and if so, to what level. All grants must be approved by the unanimous agreement of the Directors/ Trustees. Grants are made in accordance with the objectives of the Charity/Company and these grants are monitored throughout the period of expenditure.

DIRECTORS’/TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Directors/Trustees are very grateful to the numerous sponsors of the Charity/Company and have been delighted with the financial support that they have received as the Charity/Company has achieved its objectives in its latest period of operation. The Charity/Company was particularly successful during this Accounting Year in raising funds for projects that will take place during the course of the next 3-4 years.

Incoming resources received by the Charity/Company amounted to £399,333 ( 2020: £314,058). The Directors/Trustees and their team worked particularly hard in the year under review to raise funds to support the annual budget. The Directors/Trustees were very happy with the encouragement that they received from all Donors.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of the Charity’s Financial Position

The Charity’s Incoming Resources amounted to some £399 k ( 2020: £314k) while its Outgoing Resources amounted to some £430k ( 2020: £289k) hence the Charity/Company achieved a surplus/(deficit) for the year of some £(31 k) ( 2020: £(25k ). The Charity/Company’s Funds therefore increased by the same amount. The surplus will be used as working capital in future accounting years.

Reserves Policy

The reserves of the Charity/Company are represented primarily in Cash at Bank and in Hand the Directors/Trustees policy of investing all and any surplus funds is contained within the “Investments Policy” of the Charity/Company. The Directors/Trustees feel comfortable relying on their pool of donors and Applications for Government Grants and they work hard to ensure that the Charity/Company is not dependent on one or two individuals this ensures regular cash flows into the Charity/Company.

Going Concern

The Directors/Trustees have prepared the Accounts on a going concern basis because in their opinion it is appropriate to presume that the Charity/Company will continue in operation. The majority of Income is pledged in advance and relates to projects which run over a number of years.

Investments Policy

The Charity/Company holds a current account. The policy of the Charity/Company is to continue holding this account for its ongoing charitable project expenditure. Given the very low rates of interest available from the High Street Banks the Charity/Company does not waste its resources in trying to invest any surplus funds because they are inevitably only held in the very short term and tying up funds for any extended period of time is simply not going to enable the Charity/Company to achieve its objectives.

DIRECTORS’/TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)

FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)

Risk Management

The Directors/Trustees regularly undertake a review of the major risks to which the Charity/Company is exposed, and systems designed to mitigate those risks are considered on an ongoing basis.

There are two key risks which the Directors/Trustees have currently identified.

The first is the potential failure of a consultant in providing the highest quality of guidance to the teachers in the various educational institutions which the Charity/Company assists. The Directors/Trustees regularly review the work of the consultants and their interaction with the teachers. The Directors/Trustees enjoy a close relationship with all of the consultants and there is an ‘open door policy’, by which any concerns can be addressed by any person connected with the Charity/Company directly to the Directors/Trustees.

The second is a fall in donations received. This is largely beyond the control of the Directors/Trustees as the level of donations is very much dependent on the generosity and financial situation of donors. However, the Directors/Trustees do carry out regular campaigns, in England and Wales being the area in which the Charity/Company operates, in order to increase public awareness of the Charity/Company and the services that it provides over a 3 to 4 year profile in advance.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity/Company was incorporated on 9 September 2015 in England and Wales under Company Registration Number 09768676, and was registered with the Charity Commission on 26 July 2016, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, under Charity Registration Number 1168444.

The Directors/Trustees in office in the year were as follows:

Ms Sarah T Anticoni Mr Dov B Black Mr David J Bloom (Appointed on: 20 June 2022) Mr Daniel H Lichtenstein Ms Susan A Nyman (Appointed on: 11 April 2022) Ms Susan Stone (Appointed on: 20 June 2022) Mr Anthony Wagerman Mr Leslie I Woolfson (Resigned on: 31 March 2022)

The power of appointing new Directors / Trustees or a new Director / Trustee thereof shall be exercisable by the persons who are, for the time being, the Directors/Trustees hereof.
