## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2021. 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 2015). 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity was formed under a Deed of Constitution dated 22 June 1978, slightly amended (for practical reasons) on 19 December 1993 and 11 December 1994 and thoroughly revised and amended on 25 January 2015, to carry out the activities described below. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Oxford Jewish Congregation (OJC) is managed by a Committee of Trustees, known as the Council, and comprising the honorary officers, elected annually by the membership, together with other elected and coopted members. Council members in 2020-2021 are listed above. 

Members of the Congregation pay annual subscriptions at one of several rates, depending on circumstances, as well as any additional donations which they see fit to make. 

The Trustees delegate investment authority and management to an Investment Committee, the members of which may or may not be Trustees.  The Investment Committee reports regularly to the Council. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees carry out regular reviews of the activities of the charity and of the systems in use.  This is for the purpose of planning for the future and assessing and managing any major risks likely to affect the operation of the trust.  The Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objects of the charity include the advancement of the Jewish religion by the maintenance of Religious Services and Hebrew and Religion Classes; other activities to promote the welfare of the Jews of Oxford and its surroundings; and other charitable purposes, such as a kosher meals service for Jewish students and education about Jewish affairs among the general population.  Its religious services (including burial arrangements) and membership are available to all those of the Jewish faith.  It nominates three of the directors of the Oxford Synagogue and Jewish Centre Limited (OSJCL); the Chairman of the OSJCL Management Committee attends meetings of its Council by invitation. 

The Trustees have continued to maintain their aims and objectives as outlined above and described in the body of this Annual Report. 

## **Ensuring we meet our aims** 

The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities each year.  We look at what we have achieved in terms of the success of each key activity and the benefits we have brought to the community.  This review also helps us to ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focussed on our stated purposes.  We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.  In particular the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives we have set. 

## **Significant activities** 

Religious services for several denominations have continued to run through the year, adapted as required by the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.   Educational services for both adults and children have continued, both in person and on-line.  Activities to promote the welfare of the Jews of Oxford and the wider area have been conducted in many different fields.  These include hospital visiting and a luncheon club for older members.  Outreach to the wider community has continued to be an area of strength, not only through the education programme both at schools and for visiting parties of all ages, but also in the maintenance of the community's deep involvement in Interfaith work in the Oxford area.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF OXFORD JEWISH CONGREGATION** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Oxford Jewish Congregation** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Oxford Jewish Congregation (the Trust) for the year ended 31 July 2021. 

## **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 registered member of ICAEW 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the 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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 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. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.  Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Quoted fixed asset equity investments are included in the accounts at their market value at the balance sheet date.  This gives rise to unrealised gains and losses which are include on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities.

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 July 2021. 

## **15. THE HH POSNER FUND** 

Following the death of Henry Hyman Posner in 2007, the charity received a legacy in the form of a commercial investment property in Oxford. In October 2014 the property asset was sold for £664,188, realising a gain of £314,188 over the value attributed to the original Posner bequest.  After settling legal fees relating to the sale, the Trustees invested the balance of the proceeds in a separate portfolio of investments managed by JM Finn & Co.  This asset and income arising from it forms the basis of the Fund which is a restricted fund whose income is to be used for educational purposes within the Oxford Jewish community.  Timing issues mean that not all income from the restricted capital may be expended within the period it is received. 

In the year ended 31 July 2021 investment income of £23,849 (2020: £27,432) was received.  Investment management costs were £5,627 (2020: £5,455). 

Net charitable expenditure was £18,881 (2020: £23,201).  This was made up of Menorah costs of £1,689 (2020: £1,241), Hill End camp costs of £229 (2020: £nil), child education of £7,593 (2020: £16,328), adult education of £4,370 (2020: £3,887), Kaytana of £nil (2020: £1,254) and grants to individuals and groups of £5,000 (2020: £1,745). 

At 31 July 2021 the value of the HH Posner Fund stood at £840,760 (2020: £746,357).
