Trustees
The following trustees served during the year:

Lealindis Limited 71 London Road Newark NG24 1RZ
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Its objectives are to provide relief of financial hardship, either generally or individually, in particular, but not exclusively, of the Jewish community living in the vicinity of the Ner Yisrael Synagogue and the surrounding areas, by making grants of money for providing or paying for items, services or facilities.
The trustees are pleased with the level of donations received during the charity's third period of activity.
The trustees confirm that they have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on the public benefit requirement.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The excess of expenditure over income for the year amounted to a deficit of £1,621 (2024: deficit £8,786).
This will be deducted from the reserves which now stand at £92,182 (2024: £93,803).
The trustees are of the opinion that as the charity enjoys continuing support from several donors that it is appropriate for the Going Concern basis to be used.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Whilst the charity has no ongoing commitments the trustees are looking to maintain or increase the level of donor contributions in the coming year, thus enabling the charity to continue to provide grants as needed.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity is controlled by its governing document and is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustees or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee. The maximum number of charity trustees is five. Every trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity.
The above report has been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
Statement of trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to 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 Trust deed. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Ner Yisrael Gemach Independent Examiners Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Ner Yisrael Gemach
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Ner Yisrael Gemach for the year ended 5 April 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 can 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:
-
the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.
