The charity deals with cases across the country, from all around London and the Southeast, Leeds, Manchester, Gateshead, Bristol, Norwich, Brighton and as far north as Glasgow. Our FLO team now works entirely on the Salesforce Customer Relationship Management database ensuring secure management of highly confidential data providing over 6,500 hour5 of contact time with parents per year. Although a small team. Camp Simcha was able to quickly tailor its support services to its families, in line with government guidelines, to deliver remote crucial services, We have increased our social work team who provide constant advice, FLO team supervision and professional family needs assessments wherever needed. The Ilfellne messaging disseminated through all fundraising and awareness raising in 2021 was the embodiment of the full support given to our families - and for the Jewish community - who have stepped up to help the charity be there for those who needed the charity more than ever. The charity had its highest rate of referrals to date in 2021. The number of referrals Camp Simcha receives in a year has more than doubled since 2018. The charity has the expertise, and professionalism to respond quickly and provide tailored support for this growing beneficiary demarsd. During this period the number of family members the charity directly supported exceeded 1.300. This represents the sick children and parents themselves and their all-important siblings from over 230 families (190 families were supported in 2020). THEIR UFEUNE OURS UNGENT APPEAL 36

The team continued to seek and find innovative way5 to bring critical support, joy and comfort to families who needed it even more than usual with the added isolation and Covid-19 pressures, however often at a lower than originally budgeted cost. Agalnst the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and social distancing restrictions, 2021 was a remarkably successful year for Camp Simcha - it began with the prospect of the cancellation of the London Gala dinner due in March and significant restrictions that affected beneficiary services and fundraising efforts throughout the year, In a difficult climate for fundraising, the charity presents £4,053,743 of income largely due to the 25th anniversary crowdfunding campaign In February raising an astonishing £3,283,600 from 22,000 donations, As the charity relies entirely on voluntary income, and receives no government funding, trustees are aware that there are various risks to Camp Simcha's financial stability in an uncertain economic climate and are very appreciative of the growing support from its donor community. The charity has focused on diversifying its fundraising efforts to mitigate donor dependence risk as far as possible, by spreading the income streams more evenly and securing more donors. This crowdfunding campaign has further enhanced the charitls income diversification efforts. Refer to Fundraising Strategy for more on income generation and donor relationships. Overhead spending efficiencies through streamlining and procurement controls continued. Cancellation of the three planned large scale in-person fundraising events reduced overall fundraising costs. Continued effective use of the Governmenys Furlough scheme for appropriate staff helped bolster cash flow, Therefore, total charity expenditure remained subdued at £1,914,941 compared to total charity expenditure of £2,391,330* in 2019 (most recent pre Covid year for comparison) albeit the charity had more beneficiaries than ever before.

1 Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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 - effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitable 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 or note.
b) Going Concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
c) Income
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
d) Donations of Gifts, Services and Facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
44
e) Interest Receivable
- Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
f) Fund Accounting
- Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g) Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise of trading costs and the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h) Allocation of Support Costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's activities. These costs have been allocated between the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 7.
i) Operating Leases
Rental charges are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
j) Tangible Fixed Assets
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,000. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
- ˜ Fixtures and fittings 25% RB ˜ Computer equipment 25% SL
k) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
l) Cash at Bank and In Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
m) Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can
45
be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
n) Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
