TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their Annual Report together with the financial statements of Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage Foundation (the company) for the period 23 May 2019 to 31 October 2020. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the charity qualifies as small under section 383, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. Policies and objectives
The objectives of the charity are:
-
to conserve and renovate the Bevis Marks Synagogue; and
-
to see the surrounding area and buildings become an education and cultural centre to tell the story of the Spanish and Portuguese and wider Jewish community.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
The main activity of the charity is the conservation and renovation of the Bevis Marks Synagogue through a major National Lottery Heritage Fund ("NLHF") project, alongside other donations, to build an educational centre, exhibiting key heritage and cultural artifacts to provide a centre of learning about the history of the Spanish and Portuguese and wider Jewish community.
c. Activities for achieving objectives
A key driver to meet this objective is the development of Bevis Marks through the NLHF. With the help of the NLHF and other donations, this will create a new visitor and educational cultural offer and create the spaces, displays and interpretation needed to deliver it. As a result, visitor numbers are expected to more than double, new audiences will be engaged, the local community will become involved, new partnerships will develop and volunteering expand. All of this will contribute to a sustainable future for Bevis Marks. This will, in addition, place Bevis Marks as the centre of knowledge for not only the community but also members of the public, school children and other planned visits to gain an in-depth understanding of the community, its culture and heritage.
d. Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have, in the administration of the charity, paid due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission under section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.
e. Volunteers
Volunteers will be a key part of the charity's ability to undertake its activity as a visitor centre. Volunteers will act as guides, room attendants, sell tickets in the ticket office and serve in the cafe and shop. There will be opportunities for volunteers to be trained in a variety of skills

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. Key financial performance indicators
Sucess can be measured in a number of ways but the main KPIs are:
-
Expenditure in line with available budgets;
-
Funds raised to match budgets and cash flow; and
-
Contracts issued within budget.
b. Review of activities
In pursuit of the objectives listed above, the charity received £809,554 in donations and £106,753 from the NLHF during the period.
During the year we have undertaken an oral history project to interview members of the community about their memories of Bevis Marks, which has also involved volunteers being trained on oral history interviewing skills. We worked in collaboration with Dennis Severs House on The Spitalfields Journey. We are part of the Aldgate Partnership and have hosted their volunteer evenings and taken part in the lantern workshop and lantern parade.
The Design Team completed the architectural designs for the project and the capital elements of the project went out to tender for a main contractor.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
b. Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the charity in the year and into future periods are as follows:
-
Archaeological discoveries during the excavation of the undercroft and lift pit which could lead to delays;
-
Impact of COVID on labour and material supplies;
-
Impact of BREXIT on material supplies and cost increases;
-
Unknowns found during restoration, strip out and demolition; and
-
Noise complaints from neighbours.
c. Reserves policy
Donations received by the charity are applied for the purposes of the charity as soon as it is practicable. The charity retains sufficient reserve funds to meet expenses.
The total reserves held by the charity at 31 October 2020 were £550,389. Of these reserves, there are restricted funds of £270,614 which specifically relates to the restoration and capital works being undertaken and cannot be used for the general purpose of the charity. The main building works commenced after the year end.

The charity's plans for the future are consistent with the objectives identified within this report.
Trustees have reviewed the immediate impact of COVID 19 on the project. There has been no immediate effect currently on the overall capital programme.

Exhibitions and schools programme are currently going to be online in partnership with the Jewish Museum London, who have successfully delivered this through lockdown. To take account of this NLHF have extended their grant funding by one year.

Trustees' responsibilities statement
The Trustees (who are also directors of Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage Foundation (the 'charitable company')
I report to the charity Trustees (who are also directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company for the period ended 31 October 2020 which comprises the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating the Income and Expenditure Account, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and related notes.
This report is made solely to the charitable company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's Trustees as a body, for my work, for this report or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the charitable company (and 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 charitable 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 charitable company's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the charitable company'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 ICAS, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I can 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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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 accounts 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 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Bevis Marks Synagogue Heritage Foundation 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.
These financial statements have been prepared for the period covering from incorporation on 23 May 2019 to 31 October 2020.
1.2 COMPANY STATUS
The company is a company limited by guarantee. There is one member of the company which is S&P Sephardi Trustee Ltd (as the trustee for the S&P Charity). In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 .
1.3 INCOME
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
1.4 EXPENDITURE
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.6 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND
Cash at bank and 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.
1.7 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
1.8 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The company 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.
1.9 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
