TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 November 2020 to 31 October 2021.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The Trust funds were established to provide all forms of relief for Sephardi Jews in Britain.

The Trustees have complied with their duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission. The benefit to the public is manifestly demonstrated by the achievements contained in this report.

b. Grant-making policies

The Trustees receive applications from individuals and institutions. These are reviewed by the Trustees throughout the year in relation to the charitable objectives and appropriate grants are approved by the Trustees.

In line with its charitable objectives, the Trust has made 222 grants (2020: 214) during the year.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

The Welfare Board disbursed 222 grants in 2021 compared to 214 grants in the previous year. Average incoming resources for the last 5 years to 2021 were £85,261 (2020: £77,583). The prior year figure has been calculated after removing the transfer of funds from the Eugenio Joseph Arbib Trust. The Welfare Board has continued to work closely with communal welfare organisations in order to provide grants for children's holidays, clothing, household equipment, utilities, and additional assistance at Pesach and Rosh Hashana.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

The charity aims to expend all incoming resources in the form of grants payable to various individual and institutional beneficiaries. This is dependent upon the level of applications received for funding and also the level of investment income in the year. The Trustees will utilise reserves when suitable grant applications are received in future periods. On this basis, and due to the fact that there are very few overhead costs, there is no fixed level set for free reserves. This reserves policy will be reviewed on an annual basis.

The Trust holds investments in the name of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' Synagogue Common Investment Fund (also known as The London Sephardi Trust Investment Pool) as custodian trustee. Income earned on these investments is the principal source of funding for the Charity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021

c. Risks review

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue Welfare Board is a registered charity, number 230824, and is constituted under a Trust deed.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue Welfare Board is a Registered Charity governed by Trust Deeds.

The Trustees who served during the year were:

Mrs S Graham, President Mrs S Gewolb Mrs S Kendal, Hon. Secretary Mr P Magnus Mrs S Kandel Mr A Dwek

Trustees are currently recruited both by word of mouth, and also by advertising vacancies among the membership of the Spanish & Portuguese Jews' Congregation. Such advertising is conducted in accordance with the Constitution, with any nominations needing to be appropriately seconded and transmitted to the Secretary. Trustees may be appointed directly by election or co-option to fulfil a casual vacancy. New Trustees are generally furnished with minutes of recent meetings, and invited to observe one or two meetings prior to taking office. They are encouraged to discuss matters with other Trustees and/or the Secretary to familiarise themselves with the workings of the Charity.

All decisions regarding the Charity are made by the Trustees.

The Charity is connected to the Spanish and Portuguese Jews's Synagogue. In addition, the Charity pays grants on behalf of the Stafford Sassoon Memorial Trust, The Ronnie Gubbay Memorial Fund, The Sir Moses Montefiore Coals and Blanket Trust, The Sir Moses Montefiore Holy Land Trust and the Eugenio Joseph Arbib Trust.

Please see note 18 for details regarding related party transactions and relationships during the year.

Plans for future periods

The Trust shall continue to make grants in line with its charitable objectives.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue Welfare Board ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 October 2021.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standardapplicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue Welfare Board meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Going concern

The Charity has minimal fixed costs, with the main source of expenditure being grants made to individuals which can be made at the discretion of the Trustees. Furthermore, the Charity had a healthy cash balance at the year end. The Trustees therefore consider that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Page 9

SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE SYNAGOGUE WELFARE BOARD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.4 Expenditure (continued)

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.5 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the 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.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

1.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.10 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
