THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
The Board of Trustees (being the directors of The Weizmann Institute Foundation – known as Weizmann UK), presents its report and audited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021.
The report and the financial statements have been produced in accordance with the provisions of the FRS 102 SORP – Accounting and Reporting by Charities – Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019, the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Act 2011.
HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR YEAR
Weizmann UK adapted its activities to continue its work of awareness and fundraising on behalf of the Weizmann Institute of Science (Institute) in Israel despite the limitations imposed by the pandemic.
In particular, Weizmann UK launched its first virtual fundraising campaign in support of the Making Connections programme. This was very successful, exceeding its target of £720,000 by raising over £1 million to provide sufficient funds to award six new collaborative Making Connections research grants this year and securing the programme for next year and beyond.
Core audience engagement was achieved elsewhere too, making use of technology to bring events and activities online. These included:
-
the annual Safe Cracking Physics Tournament for year-12 students
-
the Dr Bessie Lawrence International Summer Science Institute for year-13 students
-
a livestreamed From Research to Reality lecture, focusing on the potential for a universal flu vaccine
-
an online Legacy Salon, as part of a wider legacy campaign, to encourage supporters to leave a gift in their will to Weizmann UK
-
a series of online science events on COVID-19 research, hosted by the Institute and other international Weizmann committees
Support was given to the Institute’s projects in biology, chemistry and the physics of SARS-CoV-2 –the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 – to progress testing, tracking and treatment of the global pandemic.
-
Weizmann UK also supported fundraising for the Institute’s three major new flagship programmes: 1. The Institute for Brain and Neural Sciences
-
The ‘Frontiers of the Universe’ facility in astro and particle physics
-
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Enterprise for Scientific Discovery

THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS & ACTIVITES IN DETAIL
This year we were able to award grants totalling £2,893,299 to the Institute. Between 1 October 2020 and 30 September 2021, donations and legacies £2,161,271 were received.
FUNDRAISING
Weizmann UK undertakes fundraising activity to fund both its UK education and awareness-raising activities and to fund scientific research and education projects at the Institute and the Davidson Institute of Science Education in Israel. Weizmann UK is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to the Fundraising Code of Practice - ensuring our fundraising is legal, open, honest and respectful. Weizmann UK also holds organisational membership of the Institute of Fundraising.
Income is generated from new and existing supporters via a number of channels: donations, direct mail, special events, gifts in wills and a major gifts programme. Weizmann UK does not use any third-party fundraising organisations.
Making Connections virtual fundraising campaign
Making Connections is Weizmann UK's flagship programme that brings scientists from the UK and Israel together to facilitate collaborative research projects. Substituting a virtual fundraising campaign for the usual biennial Gala Dinner, the campaign raised funds to support 10 Making Connections partnerships over the next two years. The additional funds raised above the target of £720,000 will secure the future of this important programme beyond next year.
The campaign owes its success to Weizmann UK’s generous supporters, especially the Dwek family and the Bluston Charitable Trust who enabled Weizmann UK to match the first £300,000 in donations. Seventy-one grants of up to £100,000 have been awarded since the Making Connections programme began in 2008, bringing Weizmann scientists from a variety of fields into close working contact with scientists from more than 25 UK universities and research institutes.
Owing to a particularly strong round of applications, six grants rather than the usual five were made for 2021– 22, between Weizmann scientists and their counterparts at:
-
University of Oxford
-
University of Manchester
-
University of Cambridge
-
University of Sheffield
-
Queen Mary University of London
-
Imperial College, London

Legacy campaign
Weizmann UK produced its first-ever legacy brochure, ‘You can change the world’, for a new legacy campaign. The brochure mailing generated several donations and legacy pledges. Recipients were also invited to join an online event to hear about the extraordinary life of a legator, Manya Igel, and the important impact her support has had on the work of Weizmann Prof. Yonina Eldar. In addition to the mailing, a legacy advertising campaign (print and online) was launched in the Jewish press and will feature regular adverts over the ensuing 12 to 18 months.
EDUCATION & AWARENESS
UK Physics Competition 2021
This year’s UK Safecracking Physics Tournament was held virtually in May with 17 teams of year-12 students from nine schools taking on the challenge of designing a safe that can only be cracked by solving physics riddles. For the first time, an all-girl team (from South Hampstead High School) won the competition. Brentwood School and Eltham College finished in second and third place respectively . The competition was judged by a panel of experts, including a post-graduate student from the Weizmann Institute. On the same weekend, the International Physics Tournament was hosted online by the Davidson Institute.
Dr Bessie Lawrence International Summer Science Institute (ISSI)
The International Summer Science Institute July – August 2021 was a virtual programme for the second year running to ensure the safety of the ten young people participating from the UK and Ireland. In total, 38 students from 11 countries, attended scientific talks and meetings with a variety of scientists from the Weizmann Institute, meeting daily with their mentors, undertaking independent study in small groups, and enjoying social and cultural activities. Weizmann Institute President Prof. Alon Chen hosted an opening session for the students. The programme concluded with on-line scientific presentations by the students.
From Research to Reality Lecture
Weizmann UK hosted its annual From Research to Reality lecture as a livestreamed event in October 2020, focusing on the potential for a universal flu vaccine. Weizmann’s Prof. Ruth Arnon gave her account of the scientific journey involved in researching a vaccine potentially capable of protecting people from flu for many years and against all strains of the virus in a single shot.
Joint events: Abraham Society presentation with Prof. David Mirelman and The Anglo-Israel Associations
In February 2021, Weizmann UK was invited to present to a new audience, The Abraham Society (a Londonbased online debating society). Weizmann Emeritus Prof. David Mirelman gave a presentation on the Institute’s historic links to the UK to almost 500 people.
In March 2021, Weizmann UK joined the Anglo-Israel Association to co-host an online event on the topic of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety. Presentations were given by Prof. Rony Paz from the

SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION
Get Connected and the Weizmann-Manchester Visiting Students Programme
The Get Connected Grant Programme has been forging collaborations between life scientists from the Weizmann Institute and the University of Manchester since 2010. The successful collaboration between the two institutions has also led to the establishment of a joint PhD programme in which students from the University of Manchester undertake two years of their doctoral studies with a Weizmann Institute group.
Weizmann UK hosted two online events in October 2020, featuring an update on the research of students Ryan Hodgetts and Martina Riberto, the programme itself and the impact of Covid, which were attended by donors to the programme as well as other scientists from the Weizmann Institute and Manchester University. In June 2021, a further two online events took place, featuring three new students to the programme, donors and scientists from both institutions.
Weizmann UK undertakes fundraising activity to fund both its UK education and awareness-raising activities and to fund scientific research and education projects at the Institute of Science and the Davidson Institute of Science Education in Israel. Weizmann UK is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to the Fundraising Code of Practice - ensuring our fundraising is legal, open, honest and respectful. Weizmann UK also holds organisational membership of the Institute of Fundraising.
Income is generated from new and existing supporters via a number of channels: donations, direct mail, special events, gifts in wills and a major gifts programme. Weizmann UK does not use any third-party fundraising organisations.
COMMUNICATIONS
Weizmann UK’s donor relations and communications activities comply with the Data Protection Act 2018, General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Weizmann UK sends communications via mail, email and through social media and advertising. Consent is obtained where required and recorded appropriately. All information is stored securely.

The Risk Sub-committee was satisfied that the controls adopted by
8
THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
the Charity were appropriate and that responsibility is suitably allocated to monitor risk and control areas highlighted.
FUTURE PLANS
It is hoped that in the coming year, Covid restrictions will ease, enabling travel to and from Israel and a resumption of in-person education, awareness-raising and fundraising activities. We hope to welcome scientists from the Institute to the UK to meet and present to our supporters and at wider public events, and to be able to take supporters to visit scientists in their labs in Israel.
We are planning for the annual UK Physics Competition to take place in February 2022, a Women in Science fundraising lunch in April and a Making Connections event in June. The Institute’s 73[rd] International Board took place for non-Israeli residents, virtually in November 2021. The International Global Gathering is planned to take place in-person, in Zurich, in May 2022.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021 show net expenditure for the year before foreign exchange gains and investment gains of £1,440,229 (2020: net expenditure of £11,509,588). The net movement in funds for the year amounted to an increase of £2,986,619 (2020: decrease of £11,215,157) after accounting for net investment and exchange gains of £4,426,848 (2020: £294,431). A transfer of £1,060,157 was made from Endowed funds to Restricted funds representing the allocation of total return in the year. During the year grants of £2,893,299 (2020: £13,313,577) were awarded of which £2,576,061 (2020: £13,003,942) were made to the Weizmann Institute.
Fundraising
The Trustees recognise the importance of meeting the highest standards of practice and care in relation to fundraising activities. The Charity keeps donors informed about fundraising activities through regular updates. All fundraising activity is carried out by the Charity’s staff in line with best practice in relation to current fundraising standards. The Charity is registered with The Fundraising Regulator. No complaints have been received. The Charity’s fundraising activity is largely limited to major individual and corporate donors who are well known to the Charity and its Trustees.
Reserves
At 30 September 2021 the Charity held unrestricted reserves of £6,236,897 (2020: £6,049,773). Included within unrestricted reserves is £223,270 (2020: £223,270) as a designated fund called Making Connections which promotes collaboration on projects undertaken between leading scientists at UK universities and scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science (this reserve previously had the name “the UK Weizmann Scientific Programme” but the new name more accurately reflects its purpose (see Note 11).
The Trustees determined that the remaining unrestricted reserves be used as needed to fund the cost of the operations and to continue the Making Connections programme into the foreseeable future during a period in which fundraising may become more difficult because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The unrestricted reserves have also been used to fund fixed assets of £858,732 (2020: £887,112). The policy on the level of a desirable level of unrestricted reserves are reviewed periodically by the Trustees.
Grants for Scientific Research
Weizmann UK makes grants to the Weizmann Institute based on the current needs of the Weizmann Institute together with the availability of funds and the requests of donors.
Investment Policy
All investments held by Weizmann UK have been acquired in accordance with the powers available to the Board of Trustees. There are no specific restrictions on the investment powers available to the Board of Trustees pursuant to its Memorandum of Association. The Board of Trustees has delegated investment
11
THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
monitoring responsibility to a sub-committee, (the Investment Committee), whose members are: Denis Raeburn (Chair), Jonathan Kropman, Maxwell Nisner and Charles Wolfson-Townsley.
Weizmann UK’s investments are allocated between a portfolio invested in Weizmann Global Endowment Management Trust (W-GEM) and a portfolio invested by Rothschild & Co. Wealth Management (UK) Limited. The W-GEM Investment Committee members are: Peter Nadosy, Chair (USA), Avi Berger (Israel), Lewis Bernard (USA), Edward Dwek (UK), Shimshon Harel (WIS-Chair of the WIS Executive Board), Professor Alon Harmelin (Weizmann Institute), Dominic H. Moross (USA), Manfred Moross (UK/USA), Robin Chemers Neustein (USA), and Steven Romick (USA). Martin Paisner (Weizmann UK) is a Trustee of W-GEM. Denis Raeburn (Weizmann UK) is a member of the W-GEM Oversight Board.
W-GEM’s stated performance objectives are several: to achieve a return which exceeds the Weizmann Institute’s spending rate and preserves the purchasing power of the assets; to outperform the MSCI All Country World Index during down markets; to produce, over time, less-volatile returns than the MSCI All Country World Index; to perform well in comparison with two benchmarks: the Policy benchmark, weighted by asset class and over a market cycle, and peers.
The 12 months to 30 September 2021 was a strong period for equity markets. The first three quarters of the period saw the MSCI World index in USD terms return +28.8%, followed by a relatively flat final quarter returning -1.1%. Overall, the MSCI World index was up +27.4% in USD terms in the financial year, and US Government Bonds were down -1.4% in the 12 months to 30th September 2021.
W-GEM, which has been allocated the bulk of Weizmann UK’s investment portfolio (approximately $29.4m or £21.8m - of which - £2.6m are non-endowed funds) has been invested across a well-diversified range of asset classes and managers. The performance of the portfolio with W-GEM was +22.1% for the year ended September 30, 2021 in USD, which is the reference currency of the portfolio. W-GEM’s policy benchmark is 80% MSCI All Country World Index, 10% U.S. Government Bond Index, and 10% European Government Bond Index. This benchmark returned +21.3% for the year.
It is to be expected that W-GEM will underperform its policy benchmark in strongly rising equity markets and outperform in weaker periods for the stock market. The outperformance over the last 12 months has therefore been impressive given the strong equity market performance throughout the period. In Sterling terms, the value of Weizmann UK’s investment in W-GEM was negatively impacted by the depreciation of the USD versus sterling from 1.292 to 1.348 over the 12 month period.
The Board of Trustees has also resolved that the part of Weizmann UK’s non endowed funds (approximately £3.2m) with both unrestricted and restricted purposes should continue to be invested in the UK by Rothschild & Co, on an unconstrained basis. The Investment Committee established what it regards as a prudent
12
THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
investment strategy with Rothschild & Co, which has invested in a diversified range of asset classes and securities. The report produced by Rothschild & Co indicates that Weizmann UK’s portfolio increased by +20.0% in Sterling terms for the year ended 30 September 2021. Over this period, the MSCI World Index returned +22.2% in Sterling terms and +27.5% in local currency terms, and sterling cash deposits returned +0.1%. UK CPI inflation was +3.0% over this period. The portfolio strategy is implemented via the New Court Fund. The fund is intended to preserve and grow the real value of the invested capital over the long term, whilst providing some protection during difficult market conditions.
Weizmann UK has Charity Commission approval to adopt the use of total return investment powers in relation to its permanent endowment investments by an order granted on 30 March 2006 as varied by a further order made on 15 August 2006. The power permits the Trustees to invest the portfolio to maximise total return and to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income each year. Until the power is exercised to transfer a portion of unapplied total return to income (as disclosed in the fund transfers, note 10) the unapplied total return remains invested as part of the permanent endowment. This year £1,060,818 was applied to income.
The investment property is stated at its open market value and will be subject to a formal revaluation every five years. The property was acquired in 2011. During 2019, there were two informal valuations carried out for marketing purposes. The investment property was initially revalued at a market value of £910,000 as at 31 December 2018 and then a subsequent market value of £867,500 as at 3 October 2019. The Trustees have considered the value of the investment property and believe there has been no material change.
Currencies
The funds invested in W-GEM, are denominated in US Dollars. The UK portfolio, managed by Rothschild & Co Wealth Management (UK) Limited is denominated in UK Sterling. The Board of Trustees believes that this provides Weizmann UK with an appropriate balance of currencies. Weizmann UK’s non- endowed funds are applied towards both the UK operating costs of Weizmann UK and grants to the Weizmann Institute. However, Weizmann UK’s endowed funds are applied entirely for the benefit of the Weizmann Institute. The endowed income being in US Dollars, is therefore better aligned with the Weizmann Institute’s operating expenditure which is in both the Israeli Shekel and the US Dollar.
Risk Policy
The Risk Sub-committee is appointed by the Trustees. Its function is to carry out assessment and analysis of risks attached to the operations of the Charity. The Risk Sub-committee comprises the Honorary Treasurer, the Honorary Secretary, Financial Officer, (John Speed) and the Executive Director. Again, this year, the principal risks identified related to continuing financial implications caused by the pandemic and its effect on fundraising activities. The Risk Sub-committee also re-considered operational processes and procedures, identifying, and highlighting additional risk areas arising from the pandemic. These included:
1 investment risks;
13
THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
2 payment procedures, security and change of bank and electronic signature processes; 3 safety of staff on return to the office
Other areas of risk reviewed included:
-
budgetary control;
-
cyber security – vetting of all 3[rd] party software;
-
political risk with increasing anti-Israel sentiment;
-
competition for funds within our donor pool;
-
the annual review of GDPR requirements particularly the documentation around Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, Data Retention Policy and an updated Legitimate Interest Assessment, these all being part of the process to ensure compliance in accordance with the regulations;
-
Safeguarding and anti-bullying / harassment policies; and
-
W-GEM CEO succession;
-
Executive Director succession;
-
Trustee succession.
The Risk Sub-committee was satisfied that the controls adopted by the Charity were appropriate and that responsibility is suitably allocated to monitor risk and control areas highlighted. The results of the review are set out in a risk analysis matrix. These areas of risk are monitored by the Executive Director and brought to the attention of the Board of Trustees as appropriate and at least annually.
At a board meeting dated 14 September 2021, the Risk Policy was presented to the Trustees who were satisfied that the major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been reviewed and were reasonable with systems having been established to mitigate continuing risk.

THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
-
the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. The work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) Independent Auditors’ Report to the members of the Weizmann Institute Foundation (Weizmann UK)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Weizmann Institute Foundation for the year ended 30 September 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 30 September 2021 and of the charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the
17
THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) Independent Auditors’ Report to the members of the Weizmann Institute Foundation (Weizmann UK)
other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the directors’ report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company; or
-
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 15, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
18
THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) Independent Auditors’ Report to the members of the Weizmann Institute Foundation (Weizmann UK)
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
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, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety requirements, GDPR, employment law, company and charity law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006 and consider other factors such as payroll tax.
We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the improper recognition of revenue and management bias in accounting estimates. 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 noncompliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
-
Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
-
Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted at the year end; and
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates.
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’s report.

THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1. Accounting policies
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared 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) (effective 1 January 2019) - (the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. Weizmann UK 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 note(s).
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on donation and investment income. After making enquiries the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
(b) Investments
Investments in common stocks and fixed income securities are stated at fair value as at the balance sheet date. Fair value of exchange-listed securities is determined by the last sale price on the valuation date. Fixed income securities are valued based on prices obtained by one or more independent pricing services. Mutual funds are valued based on published net asset value.
The Weizmann Global Endowment Fund (“WGEF”) is a limited partnership based in the USA which invests in a diverse range of equities and bonds and is managed by Weizmann Global Endowment Management Trust (W-GEM). WGEF’s investments in nonregistered investment companies, which represent circa two thirds of its net assets, are carried at fair value as determined by the general partner and generally represent the Fund’s pro rata interest in the net assets of each nonregistered investment company. All valuations utilise financial information supplied by each investment company.
The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on the revaluation and disposals throughout the year. Investments are stated at fair value. It is the Weizmann UK’s policy to keep valuations up to date such that when investments are sold there is no gain or loss arising. As a result the Statement of Financial Activities (“SOFA”) only includes those unrealised gains and losses arising from the revaluation of the investment portfolio throughout the year. Disclosure is made in note 6 of the difference between the historical cost and the sale proceeds of the investments sold during the year. Investment income is included on an accruals basis and is allocated across funds in proportion to the value of funds held.
The Charity Commission permitted Weizmann UK to adopt the use of total return investment powers in relation to its permanent endowment investments by an order granted on 15 August 2006. The power permits the trustees to invest the portfolio to maximise total return and to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income each year. In the current year 4.8% has been applied to income. A rate of 4.65% has been applied to new endowment investments made during the year. Until the power is exercised to transfer a portion of unapplied total return to income (as disclosed in the fund transfers, note 10) the unapplied total return remains invested as part of the Permanent Endowment.
Properties not used for charitable purposes are classified as investment properties and are included in investments at open market value. Investment properties are formally revalued every five years.

THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
(c) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historic purchase cost less accumulated depreciation. Tangible fixed assets with a value of £1,000 or more are capitalised.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost, less estimated residual values, of all fixed assets, evenly over their expected useful lives. It is calculated at the following rates:
| Furniture & fixtures | - 4 years |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | - 3 years |
| Website | - 3 years |
| Property | - 50 years |
(d) Foreign currency translation
The market value of investments outside the United Kingdom and monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.
Revenue and expenses in foreign currencies are recorded in sterling based on monthly average exchange rates. All gains or losses arising on translation are included in the SOFA for the year.
(e) Income recognition and cost allocation
The financial statements are prepared on the accruals basis, with the exception of certain income, which cannot be quantified until it is received. The policies applied are:
Donations and Legacy income is included in the SOFA when Weizmann UK is legally entitled to the income (probate has been granted, or a donation received) and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Pledged donations are accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the charity is considered probable.
Event income (including donations received at events) and expenditure is included in the SOFA in the period in which the event takes place. Income received in advance is deferred to future periods.
Cost of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting donations and legacies. Investment Management fees and other overheads are allocated between restricted, unrestricted and endowed funds on appropriate bases such as investment values and staff time.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Overhead and support costs have been allocated first between Charitable Activity and governance. Overhead and support costs relating to Charitable Activities have been apportioned based on the number of individual grant awards made in recognition that the administrative costs of awarding, monitoring and assessing research grants, salary support and postgraduate scholarships are broadly equivalent.
The allocation of overhead and support costs is analysed in note 3. All Value Added Tax (VAT) costs are irrecoverable and included within the cost expenditure category to which they relate.
Weizmann UK makes grants to the Institute based on the current needs of the Institute together with the availability of funds and the requests of donors.

THE WEIZMANN INSTITUTE FOUNDATION (Weizmann UK) (Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
(f) Funds
These financial statements include the income and expenditure of all endowment, restricted and unrestricted funds of Weizmann UK.
Unrestricted funds comprise those funds, which the Board of Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects of Weizmann UK. They are divided between Designated Funds which have been set aside by the Trustees at their discretion for specific purposes and General funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of Weizmann UK.
Restricted funds are funds, which have been given for particular purposes and projects (see note 10).
Endowment funds are funds which must be held permanently by Weizmann UK. The funds are invested and the movement in fund values are recognised in the SOFA as investment gains and losses. Income arising on endowed funds is treated as restricted and shown in the SOFA as such.
(g) Pensions
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution “money purchase” scheme. The charity contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 4. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end.
(h) Operating Leases
Operating lease rentals are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
(i) Irrecoverable Tax
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost to the SOFA or capitalised within fixed assets as appropriate.
(j) Financial Instruments
Financial assets such as cash and debtors are measured at their present value of the amounts receivable, less an allowance for the expected level of doubtful receivables. Financial liabilities such as trade creditors, loans and finance leases are measured at the present value of the obligation. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Weizmann UK after deducting all of its liabilities.
(k) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The most significant estimates and assumptions which affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the accounts relate to:
Useful Economic Lives - The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to change in the estimated useful economic lives and residual value of assets. These are reassessed annually and amended were necessary to reflect current circumstances.
Total return on investments – Weizmann UK adopt the use of total return investment powers in relation to its permanent endowment investments. During the current financial year the Trustees allocated 4.8% to income.

The Charity Commission permitted Weizmann UK to adopt the use of total return investment powers in relation to its permanent endowment investments by an order granted on 15 August 2006. The power permits the trustees to invest the portfolio to maximise total return and to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income each year. Until the power is exercised to transfer a portion of unapplied total return to income (as disclosed in the fund transfers, note 10) the unapplied total return remains invested as part of the Permanent Endowment.
The original value of the permanent endowment at 1 October 2017 is the value of the individual funds as at 1 October 2003 together with any new gifts made in the period 1 October 2003 to 30 September 2020. It has been assumed that for the years to 30 September 2004 and 2009 the dividends and interest less costs has equated to the unapplied total return applied in the periods and as such the value of the unapplied return is equivalent to the net gains and losses in those periods.
