Trustees Report

Bradford Hebrew Congregation BHC an Unincorporated Charity, for at least 30 years, governed by laws originating from its inception and largely pertaining to a fully functioning community with a synagogue, was entered onto the Register of Charities as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 2[nd] June 2020 with the Registered Charity Number 1189757 .

The CIO has a new governing document and ‘new’ charitable objects, both of - - which are publicly available online: https://register of - - - charities.Charitycommission.gov.uk/Charity search/ /Charity - details/5159325/governing document or by application to Albert King.

All the assets of the Unincorporated Charity and the three historic agreements with Bradford Metropolitan District Council regarding the Cemetery, were transferred to the CIO on 6[th] July 2020, with both BMDC’s and the Charity Commissioners’ prior approval

The Trustees of the CIO were identical to the Unincorporated Charity and they have approved decisions including the formation of the CIO and the transfer of assets and BMDC agreements to the CIO.

Richard Hecht, having relocated to the South of England, resigned as a Trustee on 15 January 2022. Any person interested in becoming a BHC Trustee should contact Albert King.

The Trustees attach herewith the 2021 Accounts, which have been independently examined by Jody Kendall, Chartered Accountant, of Ilkley.

The Trustees remind Burial Scheme Members and certain others, who have recently expressed a wish to be buried in our Birks Fold cemetery that they are also Burial Scheme Members of Etz Chaim Synagogue, Leeds and their funerals are assured.

THE BHC Burial Scheme Levy on death has remained unchanged at £2000. We are grateful to Etz Chaim Synagogue, Leeds and in particular to Rabbi Anthony Gilbert, for their continuing care to Bradford congregants.

Our only funeral was for very long-standing member Dr Barry Benster and took place in June 2021.

A memorial unveiling for our late President Mr Albert Waxman, postponed due to COVID-19 was held on 5[th] September 2021 and was available either by attendance or by viewing/contributing on ‘Zoom’.

The continued maintenance of our cemetery by ‘Bradford Works’ and the Ohel, both under the supervision of Mrs Margaret Birch (ex Waxman’s), have, we believe, held their improvement.
