**2 |** Torah Umesorah Annual Report 2024 Torah Umesorah Annual Report 2024 **| 3** ## a message from trustee Umesorah in a far healthier financial position. The Ten Charitable Trust is committed to continuing their support for Torah Umesorah but they have indicated that they will do so as part of a scheme in which Torah Umesorah stops being overly dependent on their funding. One of our plans for the next fiscal year is to begin to diversify our funding base to remain sustainable in the years to come. Torah Umesorah UK is dedicated to empowering independent cultural schools in their mission to provide holistic education to every child, regardless of their background or challenges. Our commitment is to foster an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child can thrive and achieve their fullest potential. Together, we strive to build a community of resilient learners and educators united by a shared goal of educational excellence and equity. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our Advisory Boards, Fellow Trustees, and key staff who keep the organisation running. Despite operating on a shoestring budget, their dedication and hard work have been crucial in addressing the needs of our community, particularly ensuring that every child, no matter what his/her challenges, is supported. You may note that Torah Umesorah UK have now rebranded their name (formally known as the Manchester Torah Umesorah Teachers Centre Limited) to reflect its work nationally. Over the past years, Torah Umesorah UK has established contact with over 97 schools in the UK. We have held conventions for headteachers, and conducted numerous workshops addressing various behavioural issues including latest issues in eating disorders and mental health. These efforts have significantly contributed to the development and support of our schools, helping to ensure that each child receives a well-rounded education. We look forward to a year of growth and shared successes. **Kind Regards,** (0" by: **Mr David Greenblatt** Mr David Greenblatt **Trustee** Trustee Since its inception, Torah Umesorah UK has been funded through self-generated funds from the community and general donations. Historically, earned income has been insufficient to meet expenditure, and we have been able to supplement this income with donations and an interest-free loan from the Ten Charitable Trust. In 2024, the Ten Charitable Trust agreed to convert this loan into a gift, and during this year, they also contribute a significant donation, leaving Torah ## “ **Every child is unique, so is their journey.** ## ## our Mission At Torah Umesorah, we are committed to empower independent cultural schools in their quest to provide quality education to every student, irrespective of their situation or status.

In 2024, the charity amended its name to Torah Umesorah UK Limited, and the charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 11 January 2017 as amended on 25 March 2024. 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 G Goldblatt 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. ## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES ## **OBJECTIVES** The Charity’s objectives, as set out in the amended Memorandum and Articles of Association, are for the public benefit to promote the education of people of all ages around the world in such ways as the charity trustees see fit, including the provision of training and lectures for teachers, the provision of a curriculum resources library and awarding to such persons scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants, or by grants to charities or other organisations worldwide that provide education. ## **AIMS** The main aim of the charity continued to be the provision of a venue for training as well as facilitating lecturers to provide training and support for teachers across the UK. The charity also maintained a resource library for teachers in the Manchester area. This year, the focus has been on the continued achievement of the library and to enable as many teachers to access the services as possible. ## **ACTIVITIES** The charity provided a number of lectures and support groups for teachers in Manchester as well as providing a resource library that was used by scores of teachers. ## **GRANT MAKING POLICY** ## FINANCIAL REVIEW ## **RESERVES POLICY** It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level of up to six months running costs. This is to ensure that activities do not have to stop at a time when funding is not immediately available. As at 31 March 2024, the charity had £42,064 in unrestricted funds. ## **RISK POLICY** The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the activities and finance of the charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks. ## **FUNDRAISING STRATEGY** The trustees have initiated a fundraising strategy that explores the various opportunities, including online applications and applying to blue chip funders, to accommodate the exponential growth we are experiencing. ## PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS The charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory incoming resources. ## SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption. The trustees’ annual report was approved on 06 August 2024 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by: [terSigned daleby: **MR M HALPERN** MR M HALPERN **TRUSTEE** TRUSTEE The charity gives out grants in line with the above objects. There were no individual or institutional grants made during the year. ## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The trustees are delighted with the charity’s achievements over the last financial period. Donations and grants received amounted to £416,231 and income from charitable activities amounted to £79,452. Charitable activities in support of education amounted to £225,119. The charity continued to provide a venue for training for teachers as well as facilitating lecturers to provide training and support for teachers. The charity also maintained a resource library for teachers nationally. Both the training and the resources library have been used extensively by teachers from all sectors of the local Jewish community. The feedback from teachers has been very encouraging. The charity has been in dialogue with many local schools to enhance the education and resources available to teachers accross the UK. **14 |** Torah Umesorah Annual Report 2024 Torah Umesorah Annual Report 2024 **| 15** ## independent examiner’s report period from 1 february 2023 to 31 march 2024 I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Torah Umesorah UK Limited (‘the charity’) for the period ended 31 March 2024. ## 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 Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), 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: 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). 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. ## statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account) ||||||**YEAR TO**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |||**PERIOD FROM 1 FEB 23 TO 31 MAR 24**|**PERIOD FROM 1 FEB 23 TO 31 MAR 24**||**31 JAN 23**| |||Unrestricted|Restricted|**Total**|Total| |||funds|Funds|**Funds**|Funds| ||**Note**|£|£|**£**|£| |**INCOME AND ENDOWMENTS**|||||| |Donations and legacies

GENERAL INFORMATION The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is New Burlington House, 1075 Finchley Road, London, NW11 0PU, UK. 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** ## 2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006. ## 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ## **BASIS OF PREPARATION** The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. ## **GOING CONCERN** There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. ## **JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY** The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The trustees do not consider there are any critical judgements or sources of estimation uncertainty requiring disclosure beyond the accounting policies listed below. ## **FUND ACCOUNTING** 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, 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. ## **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: Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Equipment - 15% straight line Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. ## **IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS** 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. 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. ## **INCOMING RESOURCES** All income is 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. 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 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. **20 |** Torah Umesorah Annual Report 2024 Torah Umesorah Annual Report 2024 **| 21** period from 1 february 2023 to 31 march 2024 Notes to the financial statements (continued) ## **STOCKS** Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. ## **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. ## 4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE The charity is a company limited by guarantee not having a share capital. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (number 1173364). ## 7. expenditure on charitable activities by fund type |Advancement of education
