The members of the Executive Committee have read th¢ Charity C0￿MISsIon 8uidanee on public benefit and
plannin8 our ￿￿'vItieS for the year at our Ex¢¢utiv¢ Committee Me￿ing8 ihis guidance was wefulty ¢onsJdered.
Fi*anci•l Review
The financial positson of the Syna808U¢ &8 at 30 jI￿e 2024 Ès set out in the Balance She& on pa8e 8 and the
financial results for the yew are set out on in the Statement of Financtal Actiwti¢s on p￿eS 6 and 7. The deficit
on Unrestrictttl Funds before takins into aocourjt the movement in the market vajue of investmen15 for the yeor
was £55,298 (year end￿1 30 June 2023- deficit of £45,055). After t&Èn8 account of the movement in th¢ market
Value of investment& there was a deficit of £56.284 (year endd 30 June 2023 - deficit of £49.364).
Our costs have increased CODwderably over the last year due to the general increase in overall cost4 our drive to
increase membership and the increase in activity around the Synagogue. Our costs continue to Incre￿ but a Close
eye ts kept on everyday expen￿ sudj ￿ ga8 and el￿trIC charge4 to ensu￿ that the Synagogue is receiving the
best PQ55ible fee5. The Exeeutive Committee works lirelessly in eontrollin8 our on80in8 costs for kiddushim and
general tnainl¢n4n¢¢ of the builditLS. The renovation of the hou8¢ wa8 far more expensive than we expected due to
the poor wo5kman5hip of previous repairs which caused I￿￿¢&￿ed (xists.
The security of the Synagogue remains a major exp¢n5¢. and which the Executive Committet is not prepared
lo compn)mis¢ on. Th¢ ¢ombin*ion of the reserves held and the Continu￿ gen¢rosity and 5UPPOrt of our
members as r¢gard5 do[￿tionS and settling Finta is very welcome. yet w¢ find due to th¢ increasing costs in the
above ate4 we are in deficit for the last financial year. Th¢ ￿rrent financial yeat sees a heavy Maint￿8￿
prosranlln< so that addÉtionai donations would be appreciatd. The EXe￿tiVe Comtnittee would like to thank all
members who have generously donated to the house renovatton 8J)d on8OU)8 n￿]nter￿￿e of th¢ Syna808ue.
As rn¢ntioneAI in wevious Yea￿ the Syna808ue buildin8, the Rabbi'5 house arld the attached hails continue to
age. The SynaJJo8ue roof r¢quir& major renovation we are looking at raising filnds to get li back in a pro
state of repair. It anticipated that the maintenance and ￿t￿tion to th¢ buildings will b¢ an ongoing pro(tss for
Ihe foreseeable future.
RL8eryes Policy
The B￿Utive Committee's poli¢y is to Set the Finta at a levei sufficient to meet bud8aed expenditure (tskin8
iftto ￿¢0￿[LI proj¢*t¢d donatTrons). Totsi r¢serves as at 30 June 21r24 atnountrd to £687,143, of which £212.124

Achievement Perforrn#nee
Review of activities can be Measur￿ in a number of ways but the two k¢y perforllwice ￿￿1¢￿orS ('KPIs') the
synagO￿u¢ Is workj.ng towards is {1) metnbership growth and {2) buddin8 a 5UStwnable (fJnan¢tally stable) ￿tUre
operating model. ManbeTship numbers have r￿lu(￿d slightly mainly as a result of a number of members who
have p&%sed away over the last fiTwicial year. The Synago8u4 through its Development Officer. continues to
develop a new long t¢mJ membership strate8y to encourase gro￿ in new. young mombets.

Risk Management
The Executive Committee has examined the mwor operational and financial risks lo which the Synagogue is
eX￿Sed and is $atIsfi￿ that systems gre in place to mitigate such risks.
Investment Polity
The Executive Committee conlinEE&S to exercise its powers to invest when appropriate. The Synagogue hag always
h¢ld funds for a continuous pen[￿ of a Tes¢rve for the wntinud maintenance of the Synagogue premsses
and any emergencie5 that may arise.
The inveStm￿t it) three Absolute Return Funds and the wutty investmeTtts held as part of th¢ Syna808ue's shse
of the London Sephardi Trust were he]d for the long terni wth the aim of swurin8 a reasonable level of growth
without incurring an unacceptable level of risk. The investments in the three Absolute Return Funds were
disposed of duringthe year in order to provide additional liquidity lor the platmed building works.
In additi1>￿ the Exeeutive Committee invests any exeess ￿ndS within sevenl intere5t-bearing deposit ￿OUnt&
Such de￿#its provide on8oin8 ineom¢ security and liquidity. It remains diffjcult to find ￿COuntS that are both
