Brighton & Hove Jewish Community Foundation

Trustees' report

For the year ended 31 December 2021

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts
and comply with the Charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)”

Objectives and activities

The Charity's objects are:

a) to promote the benefit of the Brighton and Hove Jewish community by associating together its
inhabitants and local authority, voluntary and other organisations to advance education, recreation and
leisure activities in the interests of the social welfare of the Jewish community as a whole and, in particular
(without limitation to the generality of the foregoing), for the benefit of those Jewish members of the
community generally who are in conditions of need, hardship, or distress, by reason of their social,
physical or economic circumstances;

b) to help and educate people through their leisure activities so as to develop their physical, mental and
spiritual capacities;

c) to develop and maintain a community centre for the benefit of its members and the general community.

Activities

a) to run social and friendship clubs for elderly Jewish residents of Brighton and Hove so as to provide them
with recreational and cultural activities;

b) to provide facilities for young people to engage in leisure activities;

c) to provide and maintain a building suitable for use as a community centre so as to facilitate cultural, artistic,
educational and leisure activities for the Jewish community.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities
the Charity should undertake.

The business activities of our Foundation endured an unexpected upheaval from March 2020, due to the
Covid-19 Pandemic, which meant that our community building was suddenly closed by the Government.
All our activities, and associated revenue since then has been curtailed by the pandemic. The Hall re-
opened on the 1 October 2021.

Trustees' report (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2021

Achievements and performance

Income was sustained by:

• Applying for and receiving Covid Government and Local Authority Grants (non-repayable).

• Receiving rental income from our Commercial tenants who were allowed to continue trading in their own self-contained units, strictly under the rules of their individual businesses.

• ‘Furlough’ salary scheme income being received from the Government for existing permanent staff wages.

• Membership fees from our ‘Friends of Ralli Hall’ scheme.

• Revenue from our Temporary ‘Place of Worship’ in Main Ground Floor, permitted for regular Saturday services and High Holy Days of New Church Road Synagogue.

• Ad-hoc meeting room hire permitted for essential business training/meetings or Charitable companies only (all under strict social distancing rules and Risk Assessments).

Financial review

For the year, the Charity had a surplus of income over expenditure of £65,019 (2020 -£34,100). Unrestricted
reserves at the period end were £315,297 (2020 - £250,278).

Because of the various Government schemes that were made available to us assisting our charity, our bank
balance for 2021 has fortunately managed to stay in the black.  However, we have lost 80% of our regular
clients/revenue for 23 months now, which will have to be gradually built up again, and we will have to be
careful not to dip into our reserves until these activities and a strong income stream can be built up again.

It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should
be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that
reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will beable to continue
the Charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

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

Structure, governance and management

The Charity was established by the creation of a constitution which was adopted in 1976 and modified in
2002. Trustees are elected from the membership of Brighton and Hove Jewish Community Foundation in
accordance with the Charity's constitution.

The Trustees, who served during the year were:

Mr R Abrahams
Mr P Simons
Mr S Samuels
Mrs L Walker

Officers are elected from the membership of Brighton and Hove Jewish Community Foundation in accordance
with the charity's constitution.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

For the year ended 31 December 2021

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

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts foreach
financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources
and application of resources of the Charity for that year.

In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
disclosed and explained in the accounts; and

-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will
continue in operation.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at
any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the
Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonablesteps for
the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent examiner's report

To The Trustees Of Brighton & Hove Jewish Community Foundation

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to
14.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner

The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Trusteesconsider that
an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)and that an
independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

• (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

• (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the
accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in
the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is
given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out
in the next statement.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the previous paragraph has
come to my attention:

• (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

• (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

• (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act;

• have not been met or

• (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity incormation

Brighton & Hove Jewish Community Foundation was established by the creation of an association
constitution which was adopted on 28 April 1975 (amended 25 June 2002) .

1.1 Accounting convention

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the
Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Charities Act 2011 and UK
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The Charity is a Public Benefit
Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts 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 Statementof
Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of
Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts
in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of
freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The
principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charityhas
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees'
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable
objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes
and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the
Charity.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been
met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been
notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax
recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time
of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending
distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated
as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies

(continued)

1.5 Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay
out resources.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of
depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over
their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildingsNil depreciation

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale
proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets
to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of
the impairment loss (if any.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for
which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount
of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/
(expenditure for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have
ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless
the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is
treated as a revaluation increase.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-termliquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are
shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section
12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.

Financial assets are offset, with the net amounts presented in the accounts when there is a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially
measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the
transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially recognised at transaction price
unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured atthe
present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are
subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course
of operations from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within
one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially
at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services
are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably
committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
