STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The day to day affairs of the charity are administered by the Trustees.

It is not currently the intention of the Trustees of the charity to appoint new Trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the Trustees will apply suitable recruitment and training procedures.

The charity was established by a Deed of Trust dated 29 December 1975 which is its governing document.

The Trustees give their time voluntarily and no benefits or expenses were paid to them during the year.

The charity's wholly own subsidiary undertaking, Tripomen Limited, is engaged in investment activity and the trustees consider the latest results for the year ended 30 November 2022 to be satisfactory.

Risk Management

The charity has assessed the major risks to which it is exposed, in particular those to the operations and finances of the Charity, and is satisfied that systems are in place to manage its exposure to those risks.

Related Party Transactions

During the year the charity received £20,000 (2022: £205,000) from Tripomen Limited, a Company of which one of the Trustees of the Charity is a Director and which is owned by the Charity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity is established to further those purposes both in the United Kingdom and abroad recognised as charitable by English Law and in furtherance of the aforementioned objects, especially those in the field of education and relief of poverty.

The charity is also supportive of organisations which are solely committed to the relief of poverty. Such organisations assist needy Jewish families through both financial and non financial grants and distributions.

The charity receives income from cash deposits, charitable receipts under Gift Aid and investment income which it utilises in the provision and distribution of grants and donations for charitable purposes and no change in this activity is envisaged in the immediate future.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charitable Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

Grant Making Policy

Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations in accordance with the objects of the Charity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity continued its philanthropic activities in support of Educational and other Charitable Institutions and, aggregate donations were paid in the year to 30 June 2023 of £253,933 (2022: £291,197).

The financial results of the charity's activities for the year ended 30 June 2023 are fully reflected in the attached Financial Statements together with the Notes thereon.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves Policy

The Charitable Trust has necessarily to maintain Reserves in order to ensure that it is in a position to continue its grant-making activities at a level consistent with those which have been maintained in recent years and to cover contingencies of additional calls being made upon the charity for support of organisations or institutions in times of need. The Reserves, which are represented by (part of) the liquid funds held by the Trust, are considered to be adequate and will be reviewed periodically by the Trustees of the charity.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trustees plan to continue to make distributions in accordance with their grant making policy and to ensure that the ability to generate sufficient income is maintained to achieve that end.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HIGHCROFT CHARITABLE TRUST

YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Highcroft Charitable Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2023.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

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

It is my responsibility to:

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

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 matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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

YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 15 Highcroft Gardens, London, NW11 0LY.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the charity and available sources of finance.

The charity's main activity is grant making. The charity has modest overheads and the trustees have the ability to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities and to call on support from benefactors, such that the trustees believe the charity will continue as a going concern.

Consolidation

The charity is not required to prepare consolidated accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

There are no judgements made by the trustees in the application of these accounting policies that have significant effect on the financial statements nor any estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

Incoming Resources represent income from listed investments and deposited funds, receipts under Gift Aid and other grants and donations received by the Trust.

Income is recognised when there is sufficient certainty of receipt and the amounts can be measured reliably.

Resources expended

Charitable donations are recognised in the accounts when paid.

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

THE HIGHCROFT CHARITABLE TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
