Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees, who are also Directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit this first report and financial statements of Klal Chazon Limited (the Company) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Structure, Governance and Finance
The Company was incorporated on 22 June 2017 as a Company limited by guarantee and registered as a charitable organisation on 1 March 2018. Prior to this date Klal Chazon existed as a division of Jewish Futures Trust.
The Trustees, who are also the Directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were Daniel Goldberg, Jerome Ormonde, Jonathan Roodyn and Neil Schiff. None of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the Company.
Jewish Futures Trust Limited (JFT) is the parent undertaking of the Company and at present guarantees to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. Jewish Futures Trust provides central head office services to Klal Chazon and JFT’s other subsidiary charities at cost, to enable the group to benefit from economies of scale. It encourages group charities to use the resources of sister charities to benefit from their expertise, in furtherance of each other’s charitable objectives.
The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. The number of trustees shall not be subject to any maximum but shall not be less than two. The appointment and training of a new trustee is subject to the oversight of current Trustees.
There are no specific restrictions imposed by the governing document concerning the way the Charity can operate.
About 15 volunteers support the Charity and help to deliver some of its charitable programmes and activities.
Charity’s Objectives and Activities
Klal Chazon was established to provide educational, religious and cultural activities to enhance the association of Jewish youth with their religion and heritage.
Achievements and Performance
Klal Chazon, like many charities, was deeply impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic that struck the world in March 2020. It was able, quickly, to create a range of online, digital programmes to replace the educational, cultural and religious programmes and events that it had been running up till then.
During 2021 in person programmes, activities and trips resumed, including a range of new educational programmes.
The Charity maintains contact with schools, synagogues and local organisations to deliver a range of seminars, events and activities to deliver inspiring learning experiences for members of the public.

Trustees’ Report (continued)
Fundraising
Klal Chazon’s fundraising is principally from Trusts and Foundations and individuals, particularly from people or organisations who have an appreciation of the benefits and objectives of the Charity’s activities and have wished to show their support. Klal Chazon does not engage in large scale fund-raising activities like mass mailings, telephone fund-raising or door-to-door campaigns. Klal Chazon does not employ a professional fundraiser nor engage the services of any third-party organisations to help raise funds. To this end, the Trustees have not considered it necessary to sign up to any regulatory code of fundraising practice but aims to ensure that fundraising is done professionally and in accordance with good practice. Klal Chazon has not received any complaints about any aspect of its fund-raising during 2021.
Financial Review
During the year of the accounts, Klal Chazon incurred a deficit of £13,628 (2020: surplus of £87,986) and as a result at 31 December had free reserves of £42,747 (2020: a surplus on free reserves of £56,375).
Klal Chazon is supported by a broad spectrum of donors from across the community, ranging from grassroots student-level programme participants and alumni to a number of philanthropists and Foundations who partner with our Charity and help encourage our activities. Most fundraising is done through direct relationships with our partners and through effective communication of the importance of our work to the wider audience of our supporters.
All of Klal Chazon’s expenditure is focused on creating the wide range of successful high-quality educational courses and popular, impactful activities that deliver our stated charitable objectives.
Key Risks and Uncertainties
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. A reduction in donor base could cause cash flow issues; any delayed receipt of pledged donations or participants income could also potentially cause cash flow issues. The major risks facing the Charity are reviewed regularly at management meetings. Regular reviews of cash flow projections and budget forecasts are also undertaken, as well as a continual drive to reduce expenditure and negotiate better terms and rates.
The Impact of Covid-19 in 2021
After the initial lockdown and suspension of in person programmes in 2020, gradually through 2021 programmes and trips have returned to in person activity, along with the on-line learning and digital programmes.
In 2020 staff were put on furlough and actions taken to reduce costs of operations to limit the drain on resources. However, as activity and participant levels have increased in 2021, the Charity cost base has increased. As in 2020 The Charity was able to run a successful online fundraising campaign in April 2021 and received support from new grant sources during the year. Supporters have recognised that the Charity has still been able to deliver high quality programmes and remain supportive of its work
Management and Trustees are monitoring the Charity cost base on a regular basis to ensure that programme, event and educational costs do not exceed foreseeable income. The Management Team are regularly assessing the operational and logistical capabilities and finance consequences to update plans and budgets.
Reserves
The Trustees have determined that Klal Chazon should endeavour to hold free reserves representing 3 months of operational costs, approximately £60,000. The Trustees aim to have met this reserve target by the end of 2022. The Trustees recognise that there needs to be a substantial improvement in fundraising to build up Reserves.

Trustees’ Report (continued)
Public Benefit
The Trustees acknowledge the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s published general and relevant sub-sector guidance on public benefit.
All activities undertaken by Klal Chazon are for the public benefit. With a range of activities offered for young people, the organisation’s operation is very much geared to providing benefit to the public. Participants are encouraged to consider their moral responsibility for the community and the importance of having firm foundations and understanding of their heritage. This focus will continue to be central to Klal Chazon’s future plans.
Plans for the Future
The Trustees plan to continue delivering and developing a wide range of programmes, events, trips and activities to support the objectives of the Charity.
Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to the Accounts
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the financial activities of the Company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
a. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
b. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
c. follow applicable UK accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
-
d. prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the 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 provisions applicable to companies’ subject to the small companies’ regime and was approved by the Trustees on 15 August 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

Notes to the Accounts – 31 December 2021
Klal Chazon Limited
1. Company information
The principal activity of Klal Chazon Limited is the advancement of Jewish education and culture. The Company is registered as a charitable Company limited by guarantee (company number: 10832208, charity number 1177390). It is incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of the registered office is 379 Hendon Way, London NW4 3LP.
2. Accounting Policies
a. Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015), applicable UK accounting standards including the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006. The Company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
b. Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
c. Expenditure
Cost of fundraising activities are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income.
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the delivery of its activities and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
d. Income
Donations are accounted for when the Charity becomes entitled to the donation and any conditions for receipt are met and the amount is capable of measurement.
e.
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure.
f.
Cash flow
Exemption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the charitable Company qualifies as a small charitable Company.
Page 9
Klal Chazon Limited
Notes to the Accounts – 31 December 2021
g. Financial instruments
The Charity holds only financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments include debtors and creditors. Debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value. Note 10 provides more information on financial instruments where future cash flows are anticipated, with financial assets referring to debtor balances excluding prepayments, and financial liabilities referring to all creditor balances excluding deferred income and other taxation and social security.
h. Government grants
Grants are accounted for under the performance model as permitted by the charity SORP. Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme grant income is therefore recognised on a straight-line basis over the furlough period for each relevant employee.
3. Key judgements and estimates
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
The Trustees consider that there are no material judgements in applying accounting policies or key sources of estimation uncertainty.
Having reviewed the financial position in light of the Covid-19 restrictions, the Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectations that the Charity has access to adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
