TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)".

Objectives and activities

The objectives of the charity are to provide public benefit for Jewish children in necessitous circumstances in the United Kingdom, Israel and elsewhere, whilst promoting the principles of Tzedakah (charitable giving) to Jewish children and in connection therewith, to raise money for any of the charitable purposes for which the organisation was formed.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Information of matters of concern to employees is given through information bulletins, and reports which seek to achieve a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affecting the charity’s performance.

Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort would be made to ensure their employment with the charity continues and that appropriate training would be arranged. It is the policy of the charity that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should as far as possible be identical to that of other employees.

Achievements and performance

In 2024, Jewish charities across the community continue to face immense challenges as the demand on Jewish donors has grown heavier. The tragic events of 7th October have shaken the global Jewish community, creating an urgent pull on funds. Charities are competing for limited resource with donor fatigue setting in. Yet despite these hurdles, our charity has stood strong. We have continued to deliver vital support to vulnerable children, proving that even in times of strain we have been able to provide emergency funding to several projects in Israel.

This year has been marked by significant efforts under the banner of the "Rebuilding Lives Campaign," alongside sustained programme and events delivery, community outreach, and strategic fundraising efforts.

Staff Recruitment and Changes

2024 was a year of strategic staffing changes. Notably, Tal, our key Community outreach officer, commenced her maternity leave in October, and we welcomed Jonah Lazarus, a graduate intern, to step into her responsibilities part-time/maternity cover for 6 months. Tal's meticulous handover ensured continuity and Jonah has quickly established himself, focusing on strengthening ties with JSoC committees, universities, and schools and Synagogue Communities.

Looking ahead, Tal's return and relocation to Manchester positions us well to enhance outreach in the northern Jewish community, presenting exciting opportunities to expand our reach.

Annual staff appraisals were completed to align staff performance with organisational goals. We remain committed to supporting our team with clear roles, development opportunities, and well-defined responsibilities.

We have implemented Health assured - Employee Assistance Programme to give staff wellness and health benefits/discounts and ‘mental health’ support for them and their family should they need.

Russell Brody stepped down from his role as Head of Income Generation at JCD at the end of the year. The position has not been refilled, as the Executive Director and the fundraising team have been actively developing a stewardship programme to ensure donors fulfil their 2024 commitments, secure increased support from existing donors, and identify new funding opportunities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Grant Allocation

JCD continues to develop partnerships with beneficiary organisations in the UK, Israel and some smaller Jewish communities in the rest of the world. Due to the on-going conflict in Ukraine and Russia decisions were made after consultation with our auditors not to allocate grants to Belarus projects as sanctions have been put in place.

Unrestricted grants were considered in detail by the Grant Allocation Committee and meetings took place in March, June and November 2024. We awarded £342,862 (2023: £394,740) in unrestricted grants many of which were focused on supporting Israeli communities and children affected by the conflicts.

We allocated 36 grants to Israel, 41 grants to UK and 1 Chairman’s action and 1 to ROW (Argentina) = 79 grants. In addition, we allocated £146,433 in Earmarked Grants, child sponsorship and Bar/Bat twinning (2023: £567,961).

We have committed to a major new partnership with UJIA to support the reconstruction of the kindergarten nursery garden in Kibbutz Be'eri, a project valued at £120,000. This commitment comes with naming rights for JCD, aligning perfectly with our fundraising mission and offering tangible donor engagement opportunities for 2025-2026.

Trustees discussed a proposed plan to implement a new grant giving strategy for 2025. It was agreed that our grants could be more compelling and that an overview of our current processes would be undertaken by Miri Benchetrit (co Vice Chair).

Fundraising Activities

Throughout the year, we launched multiple fundraising initiatives, achieving both financial targets and meaningful community engagement: Our focus was around our Gala Dinner in March which had had a hiatus of five years. This was an incredible opportunity to focus on or emergency needs in Israel since our Rebuilding Young Lives Campaign which we launched after 7th October 2023.

The gross income of the dinner was £216,783. Of the 260 guests attending, 160 had not been to a dinner or other JCD event previously, 100 were first time donors to JCD.

Other fundraising events throughout the year included the launch of the new Young Professionals Comedy Night, Whisky Tasting, Business Breakfast and our Women’s Clothing Sale.

Event income totalled £35,435 (2023: £41,288).

Collaborations, Community Outreach and Sponsorship

This year has once again been marked by a diverse array initiatives and collaborations that have not only showcased JCD’s commitment and mission but also fostered existing and new connections within the wider community. This included sponsorship for the Gesher family fun day and the SERET film festival. JCD also had a presence at the Maccabi GB Community Fun Run.

We were also thrilled to pilot a brand-new partnership with Stanmore Canons Park Synagogue where we facilitated and twinned a cohort of their Bar/Bat Mitzvah children with Israeli children from Talpiot youth village. This was a great way to engage younger communities, foster connections with young families and to raise the awareness of JCD. This project which was launched in May/June 2024 culminated with a Shabbat weekend in September where the Israeli children along with their social worker and project manager travelled to the UK and enjoyed a full weekend of activities.

PR and communications continue to play a significant role in the charity as this establishes clear communication and trust with our donors. JCD has once again featured prominently in various tabloids and social media and digital platforms as well as charity magazines and e-newsletters.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

National Day of Giving – Schools, Universities and Synagogues

The trustees note that the charity’s National Day of Giving activities generated a positive income stream during the reporting period. However, due to the timing of Chanukah falling at the very end of December 2024, the majority of associated income was received after the financial year-end and will therefore be recognised in the 2025 accounts. As such, the financial results presented in these statements do not fully reflect the income raised through these initiatives.

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Twinning continues to be a great way for children in the UK to connect with Israeli counterparts, through emailing exchange and fundraising. This was the first year we twinned a Canadian boy and further conversations are in place to see if we can expand our programme globally and not just in the UK.

The Bar/Bat twinning and Child sponsorship alone generated £21,253.

Legacy Income

For the first time in many years, Jewish Child’s Day has seen a sharp and unexpected decline in legacy income. In 2024, we received only £52,163 compared to £640,801 in 2023. Legacy giving is, by nature, an unpredictable income stream, but this complete drop is unprecedented in recent memory. We are reviewing the situation carefully, with a view to concentrate on more legacy campaigns in the future.

Postal Appeals & Newsletter

The total received from Pesach, Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah was lower than budgeted but still generate an impressive £133,782 (2023: £226,241). The July Newsletter was also lower than last year: £17,873 (2023: £22,229).

Office Management

We signed a new five-year lease for our office, with a three-year break clause, securing organisational stability for the coming years. However, some building issues remain unresolved. Despite collective efforts by tenants, including formal letters and joint meetings with the landlords and managing agent, these matters have yet to be addressed.

We engaged Yess Law to conduct a thorough review of our staff handbook and all organisational and employee policies. This review strengthens our internal processes, supports our commitment to good governance.

Financial

review

The net expenditure for the year amounted to £235,916 (2023: Income £300,513) which includes a gain on disposal and revaluation of investments amounting to £48,873 as described under note 13.

The Statement of Financial Activities shows that income from all sources amounted to £843,748 (2023: £1,697,904). The lower income for the 2024 year resulted mainly from a much lower level of legacies received of £52,163 (2023: £640,801). Other income received was £7,276 (2023: £10,811). Investment income for the year was £5,386 (2023: £nil).

Expenditure decreased by £384,252 to the sum of £1,140,847 (2023: £1,525,099). The majority of this decrease is related to a lower level of grants paid in the current year commensurate with the fall in income levels. Support and governance costs reduced by £4,322 to £471,657 (2023: £475,979).

Scrutiny of the balance sheet reveals net assets held by the Charity of £1,226,452 compared to the prior year figure of £1,462,368 representing an decrease of £235,916. Cash at bank retained was £107,221 (2023: £236,738) at the balance sheet.

The Trustees have reviewed the ongoing funding requirements with regard to the future. They have adopted a policy whereby a reserve is created representing a level equivalent to 12 months expenditure to enable the operations of the charity to continue if unforeseen financial or other circumstances arise. The unrestricted reserves at the year end were £1,205,903 which is in line with the aforementioned policy. Separate restricted funds have also been established which had a balance of £20,549 (2023: £9,514) at the balance sheet date. See note 20 for further details.

The investment portfolio held as at December 2024 had a market value of £1,121,039 (2023: £1,226,724) aimed at producing income and capital growth to support the Charity's activities. The portfolio is invested in UK equities and quoted fixed interest bonds. A gain on disposal and revaluation of investments accrued in the year of £61,183.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF JEWISH CHILDS DAY CIO

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Jewish Childs Day CIO (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

JEWISH CHILDS DAY CIO

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF JEWISH CHILDS DAY CIO

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the Trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the Charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

We planned our audit so that we have a reasonable expectation of detecting material misstatements in the financial statements resulting from irregularities, fraud or non-compliance with law or regulations.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

JEWISH CHILDS DAY CIO

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF JEWISH CHILDS DAY CIO

Audit response to risks identified Fraud due to management override

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

Irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but are not limited to:

The test nature and other inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of any accounting and internal control system, mean that there is an unavoidable risk that even some material misstatements in respect of irregularities may remain undiscovered even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK). Furthermore, the more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely that we would become aware of non-compliance.

Our examination should therefore not be relied upon to disclose all such material misstatements or frauds, errors or instances of non-compliance that might exist. The responsibility for safeguarding the assets of the company and for the prevention and detection of fraud, error and non-compliance with law or regulations rests with the Trustees.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Jewish Childs Day CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation incorporated in England and Wales. The principal place of activities is Elscot House, Arcadia Avenue, London, N3 2JU, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Investment income is included on an accruals basis.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Other grant payments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that results in the payment being unavoidable.

Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in generating voluntary income.

Governance costs are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold land and buildings Over 7 years straight-line basis Plant and equipment 25% on reducing-balance basis Fixtures and fittings 10% on reducing-balance basis Computers 33.33% on reducing balance basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13 Operating lease

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
