## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Objectives and activities** _**(continued)**_ 

The Charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims.  The Trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who worship at our Synagogue and the wider community of Hale, Bowdon and Altrincham. 

## Religious Activities 

The Synagogue provides a centre for prayer and worship and for activities associated with the Jewish Faith, and offers a range of religious services and activities including: 

## Prayer & Ritual: 

The Synagogue provides daily prayers as well as regular Sabbath and Festival Services. Other rites of passage that take place at the synagogue include Weddings as well as Circumcisions, Barmitsvah and Batmitsvah ceremonies. 

## Bereavement: 

At times of bereavement the Congregation provides the services of its Chevra Kaddisha - a Burial Committee of volunteers led by the Rabbi who assist the family with the practical and spiritual aspects of burying their loved ones. The Congregation has its own Jewish Cemetery and Chapel at Altrincham Crematorium in Dunham Massey. The Committee supports the family through all stages of ritual mourning in line with orthodox Jewish practice. During the year, 300 plots, considered surplus to long-term needs, were given to South Manchester Synagogue and a donation of £100,000 was made in return, to be paid over 10 years. South Manchester Synagogue will also pay a share of the running costs of the Ohel (Chapel). 

## Marriage: 

In addition to a combined Religious and Civil ceremony, the Congregation provides a programme of pre- marital education and post marriage counselling. 

## Chesed: 

The Congregation provides wide ranging pastoral support to member families who are in sickness or distress through its Rabbi and Chesed Committee. 

## Adult Education and the wider community: 

The Charity hosts daily Adult Education activities at the Synagogue in conjunction with the Hale Adult Hebrew Education Trust, promoting a wide range of Adult Education Programmes to its members. The Synagogue and its facilities are also available to schools and other education establishments in the locality for visits.  In this way, pupils can gain a clearer understanding of the practice of Judaism and the congregation has the opportunity to promote interfaith awareness and understanding. 

## Children's Education and Youth Activities: 

Specific preparation and events are provided for boys and girls celebrating their Barmitsvah and Batmitsvah in any given year. These include weekly learning activities, regular interaction with the Rabbi and away weekends. There are also social and educational programmes throughout the year for children and youth. The Cheder jointly run by South Manchester Synagogue and HDHC was disbanded in December 2019, due to too few pupils to be economically viable. 

## Nursery: 

The charity runs a full - time nursery facility on the synagogue premises which combines early- years pre-school learning and religious studies in its bespoke integrated curriculum.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Strategic report** 

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity received incoming resources totalling £748,307 (2020 - £863,989). Which comprises £229,836 (2020 - £75,392) in donations and grants and £518,471 (2020 - £788,597) from charitable activities. 

There was a net income for the year of £107,984 (2020 - £2,513). 

## **Financial review** 

Covid 19 

In the current year, both income and expenditure have been affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. There was a reduction in fee income, partly through the demise of Members, but also because some Members’ incomes were affected, and they struggled to pay fees as previously. At the same time, all but essential expenditure was frozen. Consequently, there has not been a negative impact on the Shul's finances due to Covid 19. 

The trustees' annual report and the strategic report were approved on 4 August 2021 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of HALE AND DISTRICT HEBREW CONGREGATION LTD** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of HALE AND DISTRICT HEBREW CONGREGATION LTD ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **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 Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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).

**HALE AND DISTRICT HEBREW CONGREGATION LTD** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1. 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 Shay Lane, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA15 8NZ. 

## **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. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. 

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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **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: 

- 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. 

- 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** 

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, events, 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.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Tangible assets** _**(continued)**_ 

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: 

|Freehold property|-|2% straight line|
|---|---|---|
|Motor vehicles|-|20% straight line|



## **Investments** 

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. 

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the revaluation reserve. 

## **Investment property** 

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. 

Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure. 

If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis. 

## **Investments in associates** 

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Investments in associates accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. 

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the associate arising before or after the date of acquisition.

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Investments in joint ventures** 

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the cost model are recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. 

Investments in jointly controlled entities accounted for in accordance with the fair value model are initially recorded at the transaction price. At each reporting date, the investments are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value taken through income or expenditure. Where it is impracticable to measure fair value reliably without undue cost or effort, the cost model will be adopted. 

Dividends and other distributions received from the investment are recognised as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits of the joint venture arising before or after the date of acquisition. 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

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. 

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. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. 

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

## **Year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **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. 

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. 

## **4. Limited by guarantee** 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, in the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

All investments shown above are held at valuation. 

## **Investment properties** 

The Synagogue had made a loan in 1987 of £140,000 to the Rabbi to facilitate the purchase of his principal place of residence, 75 High Elm Road, Hale.  The loan was secured on the property and additionally carried with it a defined right to participate in the ultimate profit on the disposal of the property. The property was sold during the year, and the loan was repaid along with a share of the proceeds amounting to £310,000. The trustees and Executive are now considering the prudent use of these funds and will make proposals to the Membership in the coming year.
