Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the charity are the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish faith for the benefit of the public in such ways as are exclusively charitable in English law and in particular but not exclusively by providing for the religious needs, spiritual education, pastoral needs and welfare of the local community in North West London and of other members of the Jewish community.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm they have referred to the guidelines contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policies for the year.
Grantmaking
Grants are made to charitable institutions, organisations and individuals after it has been satisfied that payments will accord with the objectives of the charity.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity supports Talmudic studies, aids those in financial need, and hosts community events. This year, we organized Saturday meals for around 50 people and several larger weekday events for women and the wider community with over 100 participants. Additionally, 15 men study full-time and receive a monthly stipend.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The charity had incoming resources of £76,385 (2023: £20,046) and charitable expenditure of £51,267 (2023: £20,053). At the balance sheet date the charity had unrestricted funds in surplus of £24,910 (2023: £207 deficit).
The trustees are confident in the charity's ability to raise sufficient funds to enable the charity to continue its charitable activities and the accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
The charity aims to maintain reserves in order that it is in a position to continue its charitable activities at a consistent level and to cover contingencies of additional calls being made upon the charity for support of organisations, institutions or individuals in times of need.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Beth Zilka
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Beth Zilka (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 accounts to be reached.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
