Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Objectives and activities
This is the annual report of the trustees of Chabad Community Care.
Support for the youth
This year saw expansion of the charity's Aliya Youth project focusing on providing support to teenagers and young adults within the community of Greater Manchester.
Aliya Youth project
Over 200 people a week now attend the Aliya Centre including recovery support meetings, girls and boys programs, one-to-one support sessions and community dinners. Suicide amongst our target age group is on the increase and was one of the main reasons that the Aliya Youth project was initiated. Aliya has trained suicide prevention workers and has been involved in many suicide interventions as well as support for people with mental health challenges.
The project has partnered with other charitable organisations to offer as comprehensive a package of services as possible, and we make our premises available to our partners when appropriate.
In total during 2024, Aliya Youth has had about 8,400 engagements with individuals requiring support, with some of these being in severe crisis situations. This indicates a much faster growth in demand for our services that we anticipated, reflecting the depth of the mental health crisis in the community. Responding to this crisis will pose challenges with respect to increasing resources and raising the funds required to finance the activities.
Management
As with any charity, challenges are posed by the need to both cover ongoing operating costs and to develop adequate reserves for the future. The growth in demand for Aliya Youth project services is much faster than expected and has created the need for additional resources to manage the delivery of project programs within the next year, and if maintained will require the identification of larger premises in the vicinity.
Funding for the Aliya Youth project is segregated into a separate bank account to assist in proper management of our resources, although the trustees retain the discretion to use available unrestricted funds in support of the project.
The charity continues to be financially solvent and has recruited additional fundraising expertise to focus on funding the growth of the Aliya Youth project. It is our long-term aim to have a staffing complement that is totally dedicated to Chabad Community Care and Aliya Youth project activities, while continuing to work in partnership with other organisations for the wider benefit of the community that we all serve.
Regulatory compliance is very important with policies and procedures being updated to reflect changes in circumstance. Registration with the Information Commissioner's Office for data protection purposes and with the office of the Fundraising Regulator has been maintained.
Safeguarding is a primary issue of concern in all of our activities, and while no events of concern have arisen during the year requiring onward reporting to an appropriate agency, the charity continues to use the services of Manchester City Council to process applications to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
In summary, the charity operates with some of the most vulnerable people in the community, which is challenging but has responded well to those challenges.

Trustees' Report
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 16 October 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Chabad Community Care
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income and endowments

Expenditure

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
