CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Nightingale Hammerson has completed another productive and successful year, filled with meaningful
progress and continued dedication to exceptional care.
This year, we experienced some changes within ourtrustee structure. My Co-chair, Joanne Black, made
the difficult decision to step down. Jo has been an invaluable asset to the charity, and l extend my
heartfelt gratitude for her unwavering commitment and support-not only to me personally but also to
Nightingale Hammerson, our Residents, and our care teams. She played a crucial role in making our
homes a welcoming place for older members of the Jewish community and was instrumental in
supporting Jenny Pattinson as she stepped into her role as Chief Executive. Jo also played a key role in
the launch of our inaugural Reach by Nightingale Hammerson programme.
After 12 year5 of dedicated Service and exceptional leadership as both Trustee and Chair of the Board, I
am delighted to announce that Melvin Lawson has been appointed as President of Nightingale
Hammerson. Melvin's wealth of experience, strategic vision, and remarkable fundraising success have
significantly shaped our organisation. His leadership was pivotal during the challenges of the Covid-19
pandemic and the redevelopment of Hammerson House, Wohl Campus, As President, he will continueto
offer his wise counsel and support me in my role as Chair,
Additionally, l am pleased to recognise Harvey Rosenblatt MBE'sextraordinarydedication to Nightingale
Hammerson. Harvey has been appointed Honorary President in recognition of his longstanding service
as President. His leadership over more than two decades, including his tenure as Chair and Trustee, has
been instrumental in many key achievements, particularly the merger of Nightingale and Hammerson
and the redevelopment of Hammerson House. His unparalleled experience will continue to benefit our
charity, and we owe him our deepest gratitude.
Navigating Challenges in Social Care
The past year has presented significant financial challenges, particularly following last year's budget.
Social Care has long been overshadowed bythe NHS in terms of fundin& and despite our hopes for long-
awaited reform, the recent Autumn budget was deeply disappointing. There was a glaring absence of
support for the essential services our sector provides on behalf of the NHS. Instead, we face a
considerable increase in operating costs due to a substantial rise in National Insurance Contributions (an
additional £5QOkl and under-investment in Local Authority and Continuous Health Care funding for our
Residents. These challenges come at a time when we have onlyjust begun to recoverfrom the pandemic.
and the cost of care continuesto rise. The disparity between the actual costofcare and availablefunding
remain5 Stark.
The ongoing cost-of-living crisis has further impacted our expense5 for essentials such as utilities and
food supplies. Additionally, the recruitment market continues to struggle, with thousands of vacancies
across the care sertor. Despite these hurdles, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering
exceptional care. Underthe expert leadership of ourchief Executive, Jenny Pattinson, and ourdedicated
Senior Leadership Team. we are confident in our ability to navigate these challenges and continue
providing outstanding support forour Residents and staff.

Innovation and Community Engagement
Nightingale Hammerson has always been at the forefront of innovation in care. Key initiatives such as
our Intergenerational Programme, Care Home Education Centre, and our successful Care Home
Research Forum, now in its fifth year, continue to enhance our Service delivery.
Last year, we appointed Nuno Lopes, our former Director of Care Service5, to the role of Director of
Research, Innovation, and Community Engagement. This appointment underscores our commitmentto
extending our expertise beyond our care homes through our newly launched Reach by Nightingale
Hammerson programme. This community engagement initiative aims to provide education and
guidance to help older individuals maintain theirwell-being and independence at home for longer.
With an ageing population and increasing care needs, many older adults face gaps in support. As fewer
individuals receive local authority assistance, there is an urgent need to provide resources to help older
membersof the Jewish community accessthe carethey require. Reach by Nightingale Hammerson seeks
to bridge this gap by offering education and support on dementia, healthy ageing, mobility, nutrition,
mental health, and carer well~being. Led by our expert professionals, this initiative will empower
individuals and families with essential care-related knowledge and skills, extending our mission beyond
our residential homes.
Future Developments
A key priority for our charity is the future investment in infrastructure at Nightingale House. The
communal areas have not been refurbished in over 25 years, and an exciting redevelopment project is
underway to upgrade the facilities and accommodation. This investment will ensure that our spaces
remain fit for purpose, sustainable, and aligned with the evolving needs of our Residents.
A shining example of our commitment to modern, high-quality care environments is the recently
refurbished Wohl Household at Nightingale House. This beautifully renovated space accommodates
forty Residents requiring dementia or nursing care. The newly designed space features stylish
furnishings, ensuite showers, and contemporary colour schemes, fostering a warm and welcoming
atmosphere. The improvements, including larger ensuite bedrooms, open-plan communal areas with
natural light, and enhanced technology, have significantly improved the quality of life for our Residents
and created exceptional working conditions for our care teams. The project has successfully preserved
the heritage of the building while ensuring its sustainability for years to come. Antonio de A55is, Wohl
Household Manager, shared hi5 thought5 on the renovation,"l am overjoyed with our newly completed
renovation and am extremely proud of my tearn. they are strongly committed to delivering outstanding
care to all our Residents.
Recognising Excellence
This year, Nightingale Hammerson has received multiple awards, affirming the excellence of our care,
facilities, and dedicated teams. These accolades reflect our continuous pursuit of excellence in all areas
of ourwork. l extend mywarmest congratulations to all recipients and am deeply proud to see ourteams
recognised fortheir exceptional contributions, Please See page 14 fordetails.

A Sincere Thankyou
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who plays a role in delivering care and supportto
our Residents and their loved ones. OurSLT, our staff, supporters, and generous donors make it possible
for us to continue our mission. I look forward to working closely with my fellow Trustees and our Chief

Financial Review
This review focuses on the year ended 30 September2024.
At the end of the year, ourtotal income from our charitable activities was £21.6m, an increase of £2.6m
from the previous year. Both homes were fully open throughout the year and Hammerson House was
full in December 2023. Occupancy rates continue to be a focus of the Senior Leadership Team,
particularly at Nightingale House which needs to be managed carefully alongside the refurbishment
project. At the year end, we had 98 residents at Nightingale House and 110 at Hammerson House, Wohl
Campus, a decrease of 2 and increase of 7 respectively.
As expected, the overall increase in resident numbers resulted in increases to our operational costs,
including staff ing costs, catering and accommodation costs. Staff costs account for 590/0 of our total
operational expenditure12023.' 60Q/o). Our average staff number decreased slightly from 499 last year to
465. Ourvision continuesto beextendingexceptional care servicesto Hammerson House,Wohl Campus,
and delivering personalised Relationship Centred Care across both homes. To maximise resources, we
adopted a cross-site working policy for some administrative staff and the Senior Leadership Team.
Our net expenditure before transfers and gains at the end of the year was £1.6m {2023- net expenditure
£1.9ml. This upturn in performance is due to a successful fundraising year, in particular a number of
legacies left to the charity. Fundraising generated £4.4m in donations and legacies (2023.. £3.9ml at a
cost of £0.7m {2023.' £0.6ml, means that for every pound spent we raised £6.5012023: £6.36).

targeted at achieving total or real returns on a rolling 5 year period with an emphasis on capital growth.
The Board's risk appetite is set as medium risk. in line with the Asset Risk Consultant5 {ARCI Group
indices. The fund managers havefull discretion to inve5tthe charity'5funds accordingto the investment
mandate and the set target of attaining (or outperforming} UK CPI +3%, net of all fees. The Investment
Committee receives periodic updatesfrom both fund managers and provides an update on performance
at every Trustee Board meeting.
The two fund managers are Meridiem (formally known as Veritasl and Cazenove. Unrealised gains for
2023124 totalled £2.36m12023: £0.89m) of which 60¥0 {2023: 990/0) was generated by the Meridiem
portfolio. The total return for Meridiem overthe last 12 months was 12.IOh, forcazenove this was 12.7 %
and estimated annual income yield l.l% for Meridiem and 1.85¥0 for Cazenove.
The continued rally in global equity markets which was noted in the first quarter of 2024 has persisted,
after a brief pause in April. Since then, the further rise in stock markets has been concentrated very
heavily in the leading US technology stocks (particularly those associated with the Al theme}, at least
until towards the end of 2023124 when the market gains began to broaden, following a short-lived shake
out in the prices of the leading stocks in late July and earlyAugust. Overthe course of 2023124, returns
from bonds have now entered positive territory and interest rate cuts have begun or are anticipated in

many of the major economies. Againstthis backdrop, it is also worth noting that Sterling strengthened,
which has reduced the returns from global equities for Sterling dominated investor5.
Both managers have generated sound returns this year, in line with expectations given the market
environment and their respective styles and approaches, and also broadly in line with the peer group
average.
Free Reserves
An important role for our Board of Trustees is to manage the long-term sustainability of the charity. We
have therefore Set our reserve5 policy to:
l. Partly fund the funding gap between fee income and cost of care
2. Ensure we are resilient and have the financial capability to momentarily respond to unforeseen
financial difficulties
3. Allow investment in the refurbishment of Nightingale House, technological advancement, energy
efficiency schemes and estates and facilities management
4. Enable future expansion of our Services to the elderly members of the community.
We have calculated ourfree reserves as that part of the charity's unrestricted income funds that is freely
available after taking account of the tangible fixed assets, restricted, endowment and designated funds
earmarked for specific projects. We have considered that given the nature of the charity's work, political
uncertainty around Social care funding, economic uncertaintie5, impact on disposable income, stock
market volatilitie5 and the growing demand for elderly care, the level of free reserves should be
equivalentto at least 6 to 12 months, expenditure.
We are also of the opinion that the free reserves should afford the charity the flexibility to cover
temporary shortfalls in incoming resources either due to the timing difference in cash flow or funding
shortfall. As at 30 September 2024 the charity held free reserves of £22.8m. Based on the 2023124
results, the free reserves cover 9.8 months of operational expenditure. Free reserve5 are therefore in line
with requirements.
Going Concern
The charity continues to benefit from support from the community, high performing investment
portfolios and currently has a waiting list of potential residents for Hammerson House. The 3 and 10-
year financial forecasts shows the charity's ability to meet its financial commitment for the foreseeable
future. As such, the Board of Trustee5 is comfortable that the accounts have been prepared on a going
concern basis.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATE TRUSTEE (CONTINUED)
Fundraising for our Charitable Objectives
Fundraising continues to be one of the most important activities we undertaken to ensurethe longevity
of ourcharity and the delivery of exceptional care. Care needs have become increasingly more complex
and the impact of government initiatives such as the increases to the National Living Wage, pension
reform and with future plans for an increase in employer National Insurance costs, the need to fundraise
to support core funding has never been greater.
There was hope within the sertor that a change of government would bring Social Care funding reform
to tackle the on-going fundi ng crisis. However, it is clear that this will not be forthcoming u ntil at least
2028. Without significant additional funding for Local Authorities and Integrated Care Boards, so they
can coverthe real costof high quality care, we will continue to relyon fundrai5ingto fillthe gap between
the cost of care and the funds received to deliver it. We are a voice in the social care sectorthrough our
membership of the policy Board of Care England and through the Jewish Leadership Council and will
continue to raise these serious concerns at a higher level until ourvoice is heard.
In order to provide the same level of care to all residents, we have to raise in the region of £4.Om per
annum through fundraising activities and legacies. This amount will only increase as the differential
grows between costs of care on the one hand and government funding on the other.
Ourdonors and benefactors have continued to give generously, forwhich we arevery grateful. We raised
£1.42m (net fundraising income) in the year to support day to day operations with an additional £2.32m
received from legacies. The publicity within the community surrounding the Hammerson House, Wohl
Campus, development created a natural opportunity for us to raise awareness of what makes
Nightingale Hammerson special. Building development does not stop and our upcoming planned
renovation and capital programme for Nightingale House is our new fundraising challenge for 2024
onward. Nightingale House is huge and costly to manage and our plans to 'right size, the home is vital
so that we can ensure the home 15 5UStainable forthe future community that we serve.
Our heartfeltthanks go to all ourdonors.
Our Commitmentto the Fundraising Code of Prartice
Nightingale Hammerson is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to the Code of
Fundraising Practice. We aim to achieve best practice in the way we communicate with our donors and
other supporters. Our supporters are at the heart of our abilityto fulfil our mission. Following continued
scrutiny of fundraising practices across the sector, we have reviewed our systems to ensure that formal
consent is gained from all those whom we wish to contact for fundraising purposes. By reviewing our
processes, we aim to achieve the standards set out in the Fundraising Code of Practice and ensure
compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation. We do not employ third party professional
fundraisers or commercial organisations to fundraise on our behalf. We recently undertook a crowd
funding fundraising event where the service of a third party charity was employed to provide the
technology and campaign expertise needed to make the event a success. We remained the Data
Controller and ensured appropriate due diligence were undertaken priorto engagingthat firm.
Also in compliance with the Fundraising Code of Practice, we do not take part in any intrusive or high-
pressure fundraising activities such as street fundraisin& door-to-door or cold-calling. We listen to

received no complaints about ourfundraising activities.
Principal Risks and Uncertainty
OurApproach to Risk Management
Risk is inherent in our operations and the decisions made in pursultof ourcharitable goals. The Board of
Trustees is responsible for the nature and extent of the principal risks that we are willing to take. It
reviews the principal risks to the organisation and ensures that risks are effectively managed through
our governance structure. The Board delegates the detailed review of operational risks to the Audit and
Risk Committee who review both financial and non-financial risk registers. Our principal risk portfolio
will continue to be reviewed by the Board as relating to our strategic priorities. The sub-committees of
the Board, namely the Care, Finance and Investrnent Committees, have continued to focus on more in-
depth management of our day-to-day responses to risks. Our principal risks with mitigating actions are:
Risk of harmlinjury to Residents
The very nature ofthe Residents living in the homes means they are at risk of injury. Each resident has a
suite of risk assessments relating to their mobility and all care related risks. Those assessed at high risk
of falls have mitigating actions in place, such as one to one care, mobility equipment, movement alarm5
and impactful physiotherapy. We have a number of policies, procedure5 and guidance forstaff as well as
access to expert clinicians on-site.
Adequate Buildings
Failure to rnaintain the buildings to a safe/fit for purpose or compliant states represents a risk to both
Residents and Team Members. This risk is higher at Nightingale House given the age and condition ofthe
building. The Nightingale 2.0 Steering Committee has agreed a strategy to uplift 311 residential areas of
the home including updated equipment and furniture as well as décor. A building conditions survey for
Nightingale House has been undertaken and outcomes aligned with planned maintenance schedules.
Business Continuity Plans are in place to cover any likely incidents and there are agreements in place
with specialised contractors.
Cyber Security
The failureto develop and maintain adequateor effective cybersecurity and controls would increasethe
risk of potential exposure or loss resultingfrom a cyberattack ordata breach. The Charitywas subjectto
a cyber attack in December 2024. Since this incident third party audits have taken place and all
recommendations have been implemented. Staff have been trained on cybersecuritythreats and regular
tests are carried out.
Occupancy Levels
Occupancy levels at Nightingale House have been steadily fallingovera numberofyears. The inabilityto
Stabilise occupancy levels and maintain high levels at Hammerson House would have a Significant
financial impact for the charity. The previously mentioned refurbishment programme at Nightingale
House will bring the accommodation standards in line with those at Hammerson House, A sales and
marketing initiative has been implemented with additional staff resource brough in to respond to this

risk. Nightingale House is a large building, management continue to explore opportunities to generate
income from currently empty space.
Recruitment and Retention
The failure to recruit and retain the right peoplewith relevant skills, values and behaviour5 would create
a number of challenges to the charity, including reputational damage. In April 2024 Nightingale
Hamrnerson made the decision to pay staff the London Living Wage. Employee benefits are a150 being
looked at with a number of improvements planned for 2025. An Investors in People (IIP) Survey took
place during 2023124 with an action plan in place to drive employee satisfaction. The charitie5 values are
at the heart of recruitment and supervision processes. Management lead byexample and staff are cared
for well.
Security Incidents, including Terrorism
The crisis in Israel ha5 increased the risk of anti semitic incidents and possible terror threat in both
homes. Senior management are in regular contact with Community Security Trust (CST) and the
Metropolitan Police and are constantly monitoringthe situation internally and externally. Staff have had
ProjectGriffintrainingand, CrimeAwareness&CounterTerrorismtraining,delivered bythe Metropolitan
police. Access control is in place across both sites and the buildings have the necessary alarms and CCTV
in communal and outside areas.
Financial
The cost of providing outstanding care continues to grow and exceeds the level of income generated by
care fees. In particularthe recent change5 to employers national insurance has resulted in an additional
£0.5m of cost peryear. The number of residents that require funding and therefore a charitable subsidy
continues to grow. Commissioners, uplifts do not come closeto meetingthe cost of care. The charity has
good financial stewardship and regularly monitors performance through monthly management
accounts and other reporting. Quarterly reforecasts are carried out in addition to the annual budget
process and any risks or potential challenges are reported to Trustees. There are a number of strategic
projects underwayto support efficiencies and reduce expenditure and/or increase income. Thecharities
investments are monitored by a highly skilled investment committee.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Independent auditor's reportto the corporate trustee of Nightingale Hammerson
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Nightingale Hammerson for the year ended 30 September
2024 which comprise the consolidated and parent charity statement of financial activities, group and

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUED)
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, i ncluding fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that
the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the Care Standards Act 2000
and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) IRegistrationl Regulations 2009, and we considered the extent
to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered
those laws and regulationsthat have a direct impacton the preparation of the financial statements such
as the Charities Act 2011.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial
statements (including the risk of override of controls). Audit procedures performed by the engagement
team included..
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-
compliance with laws and regulation and fraud.
Evaluating management's contro15 designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
Identifying and testingjournals. and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting
estimates.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities,
including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with
regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the
events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware
of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud
rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omi55ion or
misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description
forms part of our auditor'5 report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted,judgements and key sources ofestimation uncertainty in the
preparation ofthe accounts are laid out below.
Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared for the year to 30 September 2024 with comparative information
given in respect to the year to 30 September2023.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or
transaction value unless Otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below orthe notes to these
accounts.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance withAccounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement
of Recommended Practice applicable to charitie5 preparing their account5 in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP
FRS 1021, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) and
the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are presented in sterling and rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
Goingconcern
The directors, after reviewing the charity's financial performance, operating budget, investment plans,
fundraisingstrategy and financial forecasts, considerthatthe charity have sufficient fundingto continue
to provide residential, nursing, dementia and palliative care for the foreseeable future. The directors
have assessed the prospects of the charity over a three-year period to September 2025. This has taken
into accountthe business models, strategic aims, risks and mitigations of the micro and macro-economic
factors as affecting the charity. Based on this assessment, the directors continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing the accounts.
In determiningthe goingconcern basis of preparingthe accounts forthe yearended 30 September 2024,
the directors are required to consider whether the charity can continue in operational existence for a
period of at least 12 monthsfrom the approval ofthe accounts. As at30 September2024, the total assets
less current liabilities of the group were £88m while the total net assets were £91m. Liquidity as at that
date was £10.9m made up of £1.9m cash and cash equivalents, £8.Im of Short term deposits and £0.9m

Does not have or intend to have long term borrowing5 over the assessed period. Gearing ratio
and interest cover is nil.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I. PRINCIPALACCOUIITING POLICIES (continued)
The operating model included some downside scenarios such as occupancy numbers falling below
budget, higher pay rates, higher costs or lower fundraising income than projected. The impact of the
downside scenarios were reviewed against the charity's projected cash position and investments.
Should the worst case scenario occur, mitigating actions will include divesting part of the charity's
investments to maintain the ideal liquidity level and financially viable in the going concern assessment
period.
Basis of consolidation
The statement of financial activities and balance Sheet consolidate the account5 of the charity and its
group undertakings Ilisted below) made up to the balance sheet date.
Chalkford Limited, a UK trading subsidiarywhich is a property construction company.
Friends of Nightingale House, a charitable trust no longer operational but having had the
purpose of raising funds on behalf of Nightingale Hammerson.
Intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
Critical accounting estimate5 and areas of judgement
Preparation of the accounts requires the directors of the corporate trustee and management to make
significantjudgements and estimates.
The items in the accounts where thesejudgements and estimates have been made include:
assessing the probability of the receipt of legacy income
estimating accrued expenditure
determining the apportionment of expenditure between governance and support costs and
between support costs and the various categories of expenditure
estimating the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets for the purposes of determining a
depreciation charge
estimatingthe market value of investment property
assessingthe recoverability of outstanding debtors for residential and care home fees
assessingthe appropriatenessof the assumptions made bythe actuaryin arrivingatthe actuarial
valuation of the charity's defined benefit pension scheme
determiningthe value of designated funds set aside at the year end.
Income recognition
Income is recognised in the period in which the group andlorcharity has entitlement to the income, the
amount of income can be measured reliably and it 15 probable that the income will be received.
Nightingale Hammerson Charity Reg. No. 207316
Trustees Report and Annual Accounts for Year Ended 30 September 2024

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
l. PrincipalAccounting Policy (continued}
The group's main income source of income is from its charitable activities including care home
residential, dementia and nursing fee income. Other income source5 include donations, legacies,
income from fundraising events, income from investments and interests from short term bank deposits
and other sources.
Donations are recognised when the charity andlor group ha5 confirmation of both the amount and
settlement date. In the event of donations pledged but not received, the amounts are only accrued once
formal pledge agreements are in place. if no such agreement5 exist the donation5 are recognised on
receipt. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before
the Charity is entitled to the funds, the incorne is deferred and not recogni5ed until either those
conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions 15 wholly within the control of the Charity
and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the legacy,
the amountcan be reasonablyestimated, theexecutors haveestablished thatthere are sufficientsurplus
assets in the estate to paythe legacy, and any conditions attached to the legacy are within the control of
the Charity.
Entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which the Charity is aware that probate has been
granted,the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executortothe Charity that
a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in
whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured, or estimated, reliably
and the Charity ha5 been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have
been notified to the charity andlor group, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, but the
criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and
disclosed if material. In the eventthatthe gift is inthe form of an assetotherthan cash ora financial asset
traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably
measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title of the asset having being transferred to
the Charity.
Investment income is recognised once the dividend orsimilar income has been declared and notification
has been received of the amount due.
Interest on funds held on short term deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be
measured reliably bythe charity. thi5 is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the
bank. Interest on fixed interest, fixed term deposits is recognised evenly across the depositterm.
Fees for residential and nursing care are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the charity and the revenue can be reliably measured. They are measured at the fair
value of the consideration received or receivable based on agreements with residents and funding
agencies, excluding any relevant value added tax.
Income from othersources is measured at fairvalue and on an accruals basis.

l. Principal Accounting Policy {continued)
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing
the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probablethat a transfer of economic benefits will be
required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure comprises direct costs and support
costs. All expenses, including support costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure
headings as described in Note 7, The classification between activities is as follows:
Expenditure on raising funds includes: the salaries, direct costs and overheads associated with
generating donated income and legacies- the fees paid to investment managers in connection with
maintaining the portfolio of listed investments- and the expenditure of the Charity's trading subsidiary
in the UK.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs associated with furthering the charitable
pu rposes of the charity through the provision of charitable activities i.e. the provision of holistic quality
care to older Jewish people. This includes expenditure on residential and nursing Ca￿ and the
depreciation of those assets used for care purposes.
All expenditure 15 Stated inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of
the Charity, it is necessary to provide support in the form of personnel development, financial
procedures, provision of office services and equipment and a suitable working environment.
Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the Charity (including audit
costs} and costs in respect to its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs and
governance costs are apportioned based onthe allocation basis as described in Note 7 to these account5.
Tangible fixed assets
All items offurniture, fittings and equipmentwith a value in excess of £1,000 and which have an expected
useful life exceeding oneyearare capitalised and depreciated. Depreciation is not charged on buildings
under construction or on freehold land. The depreciation charges applied to assets on a straight line

transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the
closing quoted market price, The charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex
financial instruments.
The main fomi of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment
markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in
sentiment concerning equities and within particularsectors or sub sectors.

determined by the directors of the corporate trustee after consultation with their professional propety
advisers.

forany permanent diminution in value.
Realised gains lor losses) on investment assets are calculated as the difference between disposal
proceeds and their openingcarryingvalue ortheir purchasevalue if acquired 5ubsequentto the first day
ofthe financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fairvalue
at the yearend and theircarryingvalue at thatdate. Realised and unrealised investment gains (or1055es)
are combined in the statement of financial activities and are credited (or debited) in the year in which
they arise.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value ofthe
future cash receipt where such discounting 15 material.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or
have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. Deposits for more than three
months but less than one year have been disclosed as short term deposits. Cash placed on deposit for
more than one year is disclosed as a fixed asset investment. Cash held by investment managers as part
of their management strategy is included in fixed asset investments.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation atthe balance sheet date as a result
of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the
amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the
amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present
value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.

23. PENSION COMMITMENTS
Nightingale Harnmerson operates a defined benefit scheme for certain fornier employees, providing
benefits based on final pensionable pay. It also contributes to personal pension plans for current
employees.
The defined benefit scheme is a Separate trustee administered fund holding the pension scheme a55ets
to meet long term pension liabilities. A full actuarial valuation was carried out at 31 March 2020 and
updated to 30 September 2024 by a qualified actuary and in line with FRS 102. The major assumptions
used by the actuary are shown below.
This m05t recent actuarial valuation showed a shortfall of £15,000 (2023: shortfall of £15,000). However,
no additional contributions were required to correct the shortfall. This is because itwas estimated that
the Schemewas in surplusatthe date of recovery plan. As there are no active members accruingbenefits
within the scheme, no further contributions are payable. The employer has agreed to meet all expense5
of the scheme and levies to the Pension Protection Fund, other than investment management charges
which are borne by the Scheme.
