The Charity’s main sources of income are from members’ donations and grants received from charitable trusts. 

## **Fund Raising** 

The charities fundraising is primarily carried out by Rabbi Mechel Gancz, through direct approaches to individuals and other charitable trusts. This year, the fundraising objectives were met. No complaints were received about the nature of fundraising carried out on behalf of the Charity. 

A grant was received from the following Charitable Trusts and foundations. 

The National Lottery The Community Security Trust Barnet Council -HAF fund 

The Trustees are grateful to all the benefactors whose generous contributions remain an important element in the ability of the charity to continue its work. 

## **Changes in policy** 

The Charity’s policies have remained the same throughout the year. 

## **Organisational structure and Management of the Charity** 

The Management of the Charity is vested in the trustees, comprised of four members elected for a period of nine years. The trustees have experience in a wide variety of fields and possess a broad range of knowledge and expertise that is of great help in the management of our affairs.

## **Charity Governance Code** 

The third edition of the code for charities was published in July 2017. The code lays out seven key areas of governance together with recommended practice for each principle. The Trustee have considered each principle to satisfy themselves that the Charity’s current governance structure explained below satisfactorily addresses each of these principles and, where appropriate, what enhancements might be made.

## **Risk Management and Child Protection Policies** 

The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks that the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reviews to be carried out so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. 

Insurance cover is in place and the finances of the charity are kept under review. Appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, supported by regularly reviewed policies, are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable groups. All volunteers who work with children or vulnerable adults undergo training and hold certificates confirming that they have received the level of training appropriate to their work. 

The charity has appointed a suitably trained member of staff to act as the Designated Safeguarding lead for both children and vulnerable adults. All new employees and volunteers are given an induction into the charities policies and procedures and existing employees and volunteers all undertake an annual review of all policies that are applicable to them. Copies of all are policies are available on request. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees are required under the Charities Act 1993 and the constitution of the charity to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its results for the period. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to: 

(a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

(b) Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

(c) Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business. 

(d) Prepare the financial statements in accordance with all applicable financial reporting standards, statements of standard accounting practice and charity statements of recommended practice. 

## **Finances** 

Our accounts are prepared on an income and a receipts and payments basis in line with the Charities Commission guidelines for small charities (income below £250,000).

## **www.chabadfinchley.com** 

Chabad of Finchley is a registered charity: 1197411 




As our main work is with an unaffiliated population, we do not rely on a membership for income (although we do have a membership program in place and have a few monthly donors through that program), but on voluntary contributions and grants. Income is also received from event fees and camp tuition. 

Due to the increase in demand over time, we have increased our spending on personnel and venue costs to enable a greater impact. 

## **Area of Operation** 

Chabad of Finchley focuses on the Jewish populations of all areas in Finchley including Finchley Central, West Finchley, North Finchley and East Finchley. We open our activities to all-comers regardless of if they are formally affiliated with the community. 

## **Review of Activities** 

This year was a year of growth and development in the scope of activities we offer. It was also a year of focusing on bettering our in-office procedures and systems to ensure the smooth running of the organisation. 

We have continued to work in accordance with the stated aims of the charity, which are promoting Jewish worship, education, community welfare and social support. Our activities can broadly be divided into two categories. Those that service the religious and spiritual needs of our members and those of a cultural and social nature which on the whole are nondenominational and open to all-comers. Our community welfare and social support activities are non-denominational and are kept separate from the religious side of our activities. 

The trustees have reviewed the objectives and activities of the charity to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.

There was £104,456 in expenses for the assorted range of activities throughout the year. These covered direct sales items, as well as advertising & marketing, various administrative fees, programme costs (supplies, food etc), IT and other tech products, necessary travel and so on. 

There was £37,245 in building fees, covering a base of operations, office, and hired venues for various programmes. 

The overall goals of the charity were reached, including in reaching out to new donors and using funds generated to further the scope and breadth of the charity’s activities and impact in the community, as will be laid out below. 

-- 

At 31 December 2024, the unrestricted fund shows a deficit of £8,608, reflecting core costs not fully funded by restricted project income. The trustees plan to address this through future unrestricted fundraising and recovery of allowable overheads from new grants.
