## **Trustees Report**
Bradford Hebrew Congregation BHC, previously an Unincorporated Charity, 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 revised governing document and 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 approved decisions including the formation of the CIO and the transfer of assets and BMDC agreements to the CIO.
Any person interested in becoming a BHC Trustee should contact Albert King.
The Trustees attach herewith the 2022 Accounts, which have been independently examined by Jody Kendall, Chartered Accountant, of Ilkley.
The Trustees remind Burial Scheme Members and certain others, who have 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 for some years at £2000, but due to inflation, the Trustees intend to increase the Levy forthwith to £2500.
We are grateful to Etz Chaim Synagogue, Leeds and in particular to Rabbi Anthony Gilbert, for their continuing care to Bradford congregants.
The funerals for our ex-President’s wife Lilly Waxman who died in Spain and Professor Isaac Goodman took place in 2022.
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. We continue to assess improvements to our cemetery e.g., improved pathways, bird detritus problem on gravestones, repair work to walls/old broken stones, further tree maintenance etc.
