OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity's objectives are to further those purposes both in the United Kingdom and abroad recognised as charitable by English Law.

The primary objective of the charity, although not restricted to, is the advancement of the Jewish faith through establishing, managing and supporting a Jewish education centre in North West London and through the holding of educational events, public lectures, educational trips to Israel and celebrations of religious festivals.

The charity receives income mainly from charitable donations, which it utilises in the provision and distribution of grants and donations.

The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Grantmaking

Grants are made to needy individuals in accordance with the objects of the charity.

In making decisions in regards to the allocation of grants and donations, the trustees use their personal knowledge of the individuals. The amount of the grant and donation granted is based on the level of funds available.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

During the year the charity pursued its charitable objects.

Income from donations aggregated £187,723 (2022: £146,320) and total resources expended was £184,064 (2022: £140,215) resulting in a net surplus of £3,659 (2022: £6,105).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINYAN HATORAH UK

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kinyan Hatorah UK

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Kinyan Hatorah UK (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Governance costs

Governance costs include cost of the preparation and independent examination of financial statements and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. The charity had no restricted funds as at the Balance Sheet date.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are classified at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss.
