## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 May 2024**
## **Structure, governance and management**
Dor L'dor is a CIO with a constitution dated 27th May 2019. It was registered as a charity on 01 November 2019 with a charity number 1186101.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the trust deed 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 Mr J Debson 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.
A policy and procedure for the induction and training of new trustees is currently being developed and will be implemented in the coming year.
## **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 operating ineffective courses or workshops. These risks are managed by the trustees’ researching speakers and considering appropriate course material to reach as wide an audience as possible.
Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all courses or workshops run.

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 May 2024**
## **Objectives and activities**
The objects of the charity are: To advance the orthodox Jewish religion for the public benefit in parenting and all matters connected with family life and relationships using orthodox Jewish ethics and morals through the provision of workshops, seminars and in any other way in which the trustees see fit.
## **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 and setting grant making policy for the year.
## **Grant making policy**
The charity would give out grants in line with the above objects.
There were no grants made in the year.
The trustees consider they have met the public benefit test and outline these achievements below.
The trustees measure the success of achieving the stated aims by the number of courses or workshops run each year.
The trustees consider the shorter-term aims to be similar to the longer term aims and assess the achievement of the charity in the same way.
## **Achievements and performance**
The charity received £18,909 (2023: £18,901) in donations during the year.
During the year, £28,249 (2023: £24,041) was paid out by way of direct charitable costs and support costs. These direct charitable costs were made in line with the stated objects of the charity and were for educational workshops that the charity provided via zoom during the year.
During the year the charity put on 12 different workshops with around 224 participants in total.
The charity has governance costs comprising professional fees and other administration costs.
All other office costs are borne by a local benefactor and the trustees wish to record their appreciation to the benefactor for the free use of their offices.
There were no fundraising costs during the year.
Related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts.
There was a net expenditure and net movement in funds for the year, amounting to £9,340, attributable to the unrestricted fund

## **Year ended 31 May 2024**
## **Financial review**
The trustees are delighted to have made many valuable contributions to the community as a result of this income and hope to be able to do so for many years to come.
## **Reserves policy**
The Unrestricted Fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results.
The Trustees are satisfied that the balance of the Fund is an acceptable level of reserves given the nature of revenue receipts against grants payable.
In considering the limited financial obligations of the charity, the trustees have resolved to maintain a minimum reserve roughly equal to the net current assets of the charity.
The free reserves, being the net current assets of the charity, stand at £28,116 (2023: £37,456), all of which are unrestricted.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 17 March 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

## **3. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
## **Going concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**

## **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, non-charitable 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.
## **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.

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Financial instruments** _**(continued)**_
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
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.
