REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. 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 charity's objects are:
-
the advancement of the Jewish religion in such parts of the UK as the trustees shall determine, in particular but not exclusively, through the provision of grants to support religious education and religious study.
-
the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
Significant activities
During the year under review, the charity provided grants to various charitable institutions and individuals to achieve its objective of promoting the Orthodox Jewish faith for public benefit as well as other charitable purposes.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives in planning future activities.
Grantmaking
Grants are made to charitable institutions, organisations and authorised individuals which accord with the objects of the charity.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the year under review the charity raised substantial funds and has spent almost all of the funds raised in the furtherance of its objectives.
During the year under review the charity received generous donations amounting to £771,843 (2021: £737,754) and paid donations amounting to £733,274 (2021: £450,170).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity is dependent on the investment income and generous donation from the donors.
Investment policy and objectives
Under the constitution the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees regularly review the charity's position and needs in respect of the investment policy. The trustees believe their experience within the UK investment property market, together with external advice as appropriate, will maximise the charity's income from its investments.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which the trustees think appropriate after considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity for the next year.
Going concern
The trustees are confident that the unrestricted funds at its disposal as at 31 December 2021 together with income secured on investment property are adequate to meet the operating and financial obligations for the next twelve months.
FUTURE PLANS
The trustees will continue to pursue the charity's objectives by providing grants to institutions whose objectives closely align with its own.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEHACHZIKOM UK
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of LEHACHZIKOM UK
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of LEHACHZIKOM UK (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022.
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
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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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.

These costs include audit, legal advice for Trustees and costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements such as the costs of Trustee meetings and the preparation of the statutory accounts.
