TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and as such, its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Its registered charity number is 274165 and its company registration number is 01317912.
Appointment, training and recruitment of 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 training and induction procedures, which includes an understanding of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association and their legal obligations under the Charity Act and Company Law, and the recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events which enhance their knowledge and skill thereby improving the performance of their role.
Management of the charity
The trustees administer the day-to-day affairs of the charity. Trustees seek advice from their Accountants and other professionals on a regular basis to ensure regulatory compliance.
Related parties and co-operations with other organisations
None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee of the charity with a supplier company must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.
None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the charity.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity was established to advance religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish Faith and for other such purposes as are recognised by English Law as charitable and in furtherance of the aforementioned objects.
The charity's principal activity throughout the year was the provision and distribution of donations and grants to charities. The charity aims to maximise its grants and donations on an annual basis.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
Grant making policy
The trustees are approached for donations by a wide variety of charitable institutions operating all over England. The trustees consider all requests which they receive and make donations based on level of funds available.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the charity continued its philanthropic activities in support of religious, education and other charitable institutions.
A total of £1,039,351 has been distributed during the year in accordance with the objectives of the charity as shown in the attached financial statements.
The benefits that these charities provide include:
-
Provision of basic necessities and financial support to the poor;
-
Relief of suffering in regard to illness and disabilities;
-
Jewish education and places of worship for the Jewish community.
The charity's investment in UK property realised a gross income of £827,958. The trustees are pleased with the rate of return achieved.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face;
-
the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and;
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures manage any perceived risks.
Reserves Policy
At the year-end, £11,201,569 was held as unrestricted funds. It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserve of the charity, at a level which the trustees think appropriate after considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity for the next year.
Investment Powers, Policy and Objectives
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment, which the trustees see fit. The trustees regularly review the charity's position and needs in respect of the investment policy.
The trustees believe their experience within the UK investment property market will maximise the charity's income from its investments.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The trustees, whilst being of the opinion that sufficient funds are required to be retained within the charity in order to maintain and finance its investment portfolio, and thereby its financial return. However, the trustees are actively considering a policy of substantially increasing the rate and quantum of donations made by the charity in those areas which would justify such an approach.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' 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 charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, 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 applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
AUDITOR
Each of the persons who is a trustee at the date of approval of this report confirms that:
-
so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditor is unaware; and
-
they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information.
The auditor is deemed to have been re-appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.
SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DINA PERELMAN TRUST LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of Dina Perelman Trust Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 FRS 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 charity's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
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 charity 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 charity'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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the 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' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the 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 in preparing the trustees' report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DINA PERELMAN
TRUST LIMITED (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity'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 charity 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:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity through discussion with the trustees and identified financial reporting legislation and charity legislation as being most significant to these financial statements.
-
We communicated these identified frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with the laws and regulations.
-
We discussed with the trustees the policies and procedures regarding compliance with these legal and regulatory frameworks.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement due to non-compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks, including how fraud might occur, by enquiry with the trustees during the planning and finalisation stages of our audit. The susceptibility to such material misstatement was determined to be low.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with the identified legal and regulatory frameworks, which were part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DINA PERELMAN
TRUST LIMITED (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

DINA PERELMAN TRUST LIMITED
COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 30 Overlea Road, London, E5 9BG.
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 Companies Act 2006.
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 and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The functional currency of the charity is sterling, rounded to the nearest whole pound.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, notwithstanding the company's net current liabilities. The director's consider this to be appropriate given the sufficient value in its investment properties to repay its loans in full if required. As such, the directors believe it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis because the company is in a position to meet all its obligations in the foreseeable future.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 26.
Income tax
The charity is not liable to direct taxation on its income or gains, whether realised or not, as it falls within the various exemptions liable to registered charities. Accordingly, the charity does not recognise any deferred tax liability on property revaluations as no tax would be due in the event of a disposal as the charity would benefit from the relevant exemptions, as it will apply all funds for qualifying charitable purposes.

DINA PERELMAN TRUST LIMITED COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the statement of financial activities.
Fund accounting
General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account. They are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Incoming resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably;
-
Investment income represents rents and charges receivable in respect of its investment properties and interest on funds held on deposit. They are included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity.
Resources expended

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investment property
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of consideration given, including transaction costs associated with the investment property.
After initial recognition, investment properties whose fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort are held at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in the income and expenditure account in the year that they arise.
No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying the fair value model.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other debtors that are classified as receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be received net of impairment.
Trade and other creditors
Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other creditors that are classified as payable within one year are measured at the discounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank.
4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.
