## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the period 10 March 2020 to 31 March 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 10 March 2020 to 31 March 2021. 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).
## **INCORPORATION**
The charitable company was incorporated on 10 March 2020.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The objectives of the charity are as follows:
a) The relief of poverty, preservation of health and advancement of skills and education in the UK and any part of the world including, but not exclusively, by the provision of funds, items, advice and support as the trustees see fit. b) The advancement of the Jewish faith in the United Kingdom and worldwide in accordance with the statement of faith.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, and 'The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit' in particular, when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning the charity's future activities.The aims of the charity for the public benefit are detailed in the 'Objectives and Activities' section of this report and the main activities undertaken in order to carry out the charity's aims for the public benefit are outlined under 'Achievements and Performance' below.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The focus of the trustees since founding the charity has been the provision of education which has been achieved through the activities of the Ohr Emes Primary School. The number of pupils currently registered at the school is in excess of 80 which reflects both the demand for this facility as well as the success the trustees have had in establishing and running the school. It has been a particular challenge to provide education throughout the Covid 19 pandemic Measures were put in place to comply with Government guidelines and staff adapted their lessons and developed innovative methods to enable them to deliver remote lessons and to maintain a high level of pupil engagement in spite of the constraints.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The financial results for the period to 31 March 2021 are shown in the attached financial statements.
Total income was £410,201 and total expenditure was £284,945.
The total funds carried forward were £125,256.
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees have established the level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) that the charity ought to have. Reserves are needed to bridge the funding gaps between spending on activities and receiving resources through voluntary income. The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves as at 31 March 2021 would be three months of resources expended which equates to approximately £70,000.
The actual free reserves as at 31 March 2021 were £7,516 which is below our target figure. In calculating the reserves, the trustees have excluded from total funds, fixed assets and any restricted funds.
The trustees are actively pursuing sources of funding in order to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to provide for future financial stability and flexibility to help with the growth of the school and to enable the charity to expand its activities.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the period 10 March 2020 to 31 March 2021**
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Ohr Emes Limited will continue to expand and develop the activities it provides with the Ohr Emes Primary School and to other causes which are in line with its objects.
The trustees regularly review the activities of the charity and its ability to provide its services within the framework of the covid-19 guidance issued by the Government. Additional measures to monitor and ensure the health and safety of our employees, volunteers and end beneficiaries have been put in place and the trustees have adapted the ways they provide day to day charitable activities and fundraising activities to comply with the government's policies and guidance. The trustees expect to be able to continue to provide their services.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
Ohr Emes is an incorporated registered charity (1193538) governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated 31 July 2020.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
Trustees may be appointed by the existing trustees at any time, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing trustees. Any trustees so appointed will hold office only until the next Annual General Meeting and will then be eligible for re-election.

Potential trustees are invited to informally attend trustee meetings prior to appointment and a comprehensive induction programme is available. Additionally individual trustees may undertake external training in a particular area of their role on the Governing Body.
## **Risk management**

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF OHR EMES LTD**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ohr Emes Ltd ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period 10 March 2020 to 31 March 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCCA which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
