Sharei Chaim
Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2025
Structure, governance and management
Governing Document
Sharei Chaim is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 27 July 2015 as a company and the company number is 09704183. It was registered as a charity on 25 July 2019 with a charity number being 1184597.
Governing Body
The trustees of the Charity are legally responsible for the overall management of the college. The day to day running of the college is undertaken by the principal and the senior teaching staff. The principal is aware of the need to follow best practice and is actively reviewing the organisational structure of the college and the method by which new trustees are appointed. This ongoing review has concluded that the organisational structures in place are sufficient and robust to take the college into the future. The Trustees are kept informed of the running of the college and new Trustees will be appointed when and if the need arises.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and with the consent of the trustees. The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation.
There is no chief executive officer. The day-to-day affairs are undertaken by the administrator on behalf of the trustees. All major decisions are taken collectively by the trustees, and all the trustees give of their time freely. The trustees are unpaid and details of any related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts. The arrangements for setting the pay of the charity's employees are the sole domain of the trustees.
Training and induction of trustees is applied as applicable.
Risk review
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.
The risks faced by the trust are principally operational risks from ineffective running of the college. These risks are managed by the trustees ensuring the right staff are utilised and the right policies are implemented.
Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all aspects of the college management.
Risk Management
The process of examining the risks to which the Charity is exposed is ongoing and the trustees are planning to further develop systems to monitor and control these risks in order to lessen their potential impact on the Charity.
Public Benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Objectives and activities
Charitable Objects
The Charity's objects are the advancement of education in the Jewish religion for young people or adults who wish to further their knowledge of Jewish texts and the Jewish religion through the provision of study programmes, activities or services.
Aims
The main aim of the Charity continued to be the provision of educational facilities to Jewish boys post high school age.
Objectives for the year
This year, the focus has been on the continued achievement of academic performance.
Principal Activities of the year
The college provided education to 83 boys aged 16 to 19.
Grant making policy
The charity would give out grants in line with the above objects.
The trustees consider they have met the public benefit test and outline these achievements below.
Achievements and performance
The charity recorded £641,378 (2024: £561,837) in donations in the year.
Grants receivable during the year amounted to £109,921 (2024: £132,341), a detailed analysis can be found in the notes to the accounts.
Voluntary contributions amounted to £131,449 (2024: £142,880).
Other income received during the year relating to the rental of premises totalled £21,680 (2024: £41,161).
Fundraising costs incurred during the year amounted to £20,480 (2024: £26,946).
The charity paid out £982,511 (2024: £769,915) on running costs of the college including instruction & other direct management costs.

Financial review
During the year the charity carried out renovations of a capital nature on its properties amounting to £24,632 (2024: £86,406), and the details can be found in the notes to the accounts.
Reserves Policy
The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves held by the charity. The review has concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer for uninterrupted services the level of free reserves, being those not tied up in fixed assets, needs to be maintained at not less than three months’ expenditure and the trustees are taking measures to bring reserves back to that level.
The free reserves, comprising of net current liabilities stand at £110,136 (2024: assets of £13,833) all of which are unrestricted.
Total funds of the charity stand at £929,249 (2024: £1,045,851) all of which is unrestricted.
The trustees are of the opinion that the net current liabilities do not indicate a going concern issue, as the majority of the current liabilities relate to wages paid immediately after the year-end and the repayments of the short-term element of bank loans repaid as they became due.
The charity carried out a successful crowdfunding fundraiser in October 2025 which raised approximately £180,000.
The fundraiser was originally planned for July 2025 and was postponed for logistical reasons. This delay impacted on the financial position of the charity at the year-end.
The charity is therefore to be treated as a going concern.
Plans for future periods
The trustees plan to continue raising funds for projects in line with the memorandum and articles of association and to pursue those educational objectives and projects with all the resources available to the charity.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 16 April 2026 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Sharei Chaim
Year ended 31 July 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Sharei Chaim ('the charity') for the year ended 31 July 2025.
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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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).

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 July 2025
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 2nd Floor - Parkgates, Bury New Road, Prestwich, Manchester, M25 0TL, England.
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
The trustees are of the opinion that the net current liabilities of £110,136 do not indicate a going concern issue, as the majority of the current liabilities relate to wages paid immediately after the year-end and the repayments of the short-term element of bank loans repaid as they became due. The charity carried out a successful crowdfunding fundraiser in October 2025 which raised approximately £180,000.
The fundraiser was originally planned for July 2025 and was postponed for logistical reasons. This delay impacted on the financial position of the charity at the year-end.
The charity is therefore to be treated as a going concern.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements did not require management to make judgements, estimates or assumptions that affect the amounts reported besides for the depreciation of fixed assets.
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.

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, noncharitable 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2025
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 15% straight line |
| Motor vehicles | - | 15% straight line |
| Equipment | - | 15% straight line |
The Torah scroll is not depreciated as it has a very long useful life.
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.
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.

Sharei Chaim
Company Limited by Guarantee
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
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.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Sharei Chaim is a company limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
