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
To advance in life and help young people through:
(a) the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life.
(b) providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
(c) To support adults with their studies.
Significant activities
We had very good reviews of our achievements and performances and our clients were pleased with the outcomes and greatly benefited from our services. Donations received for the first year of our charity were £354,085 which most of it we were able to forward towards grant for individuals in need.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives in planning future activities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Kollel Ahavas Torah is constituted under a deed dated 17 June 2022. It is a registered charity number 1199355 and was registered on 17 June 2022.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Trust Deed and with the consent of the trustees. The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.
A Senior Carer manages the daily running of activities, reporting weekly to the Director of Services. The Director reports quarterly to the trustees on the general running of projects and more frequently where issues need to be addressed. The trustees are responsible for final decisions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of KOLLEL AHAVAS TORAH
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of KOLLEL AHAVAS TORAH
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of KOLLEL AHAVAS TORAH (the Trust) for the period 1 October 2023 to 31 March 2025.
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 Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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.
