OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
Charitable objects
The principal activities of the trust and its Group were to advance education in and the religion of the Orthodox Jewish Faith and for such other purposes as are recognised as charitable.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education when reviewing the trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
There have been no material changes in the objectives or policies of the trust during the year.
To achieve the objects the trust and its Group uses its income to make charitable donations and grants to Jewish schools, other educational organisations and other charities.
Significant activities
There were no significant events affecting the charity or group during the year that require disclosure in this report.
Grantmaking
The charity and its Group makes grants to individuals and organisations in furtherance of its charitable objects. The trustees have adopted a grant making policy which sets out the framework for assessing, approving and monitoring grants.
All grant applications are assessed against eligibility criteria to ensure that proposed activities align with the charity's and its Group’s purposes. The trustees undertake appropriate due diligence before awarding grants and ensure that grant agreements specify the purpose of funding, reporting requirements and conditions for use of funds.
The trustees monitor all grants to ensure funds are used for their intended charitable purposes and that desired outcomes are achieved and where grants are not used in accordance with the terms of the agreement, the trustees take the appropriate action, which may include requesting the return of funds. Any trustee with a conflict of interest in relation to a grant application declares this interest and withdraws from the decision-making process.
During the year, the charity and its Group made grants totalling £418,275 (2024: £378,544) as detailed in note 5 to the financial statements. Majority of the grants were made to Jewish religious institutions and foundations.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The trustees have conducted a comprehensive assessment of the major risks to which the charity and its group are exposed. Given the charity's and its Group’s reliance on the income generated by its investment property portfolio as its principal source of income, particular attention is given to property-related and market risks. The trustees maintain a detailed risk register which is reviewed regularly and systems are in place to mitigate exposure to identified risks.
The principal risks facing the charity and group, together with the mitigating actions taken, are as follows:
Property Market and Valuation Risks
Investment properties face the risk of deterioration in the property market which can lead to a decline capital values, decline in property yields, inability to dispose of properties when required and illiquidity of property assets. Trustees have mitigated against such risk by diversifying the charity's and group's portfolio across geographical location as well as the property types invested in. Regular review of the investment property valuation is carried out by a professional; with regular property maintenance; and investments are made with the intent of holding investments for a long-term to reduce short-term market fluctuations.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Rental Income and Occupancy Risks
Reduction in rental income due to tenant default, insolvency or non-payment; prolonged void periods between tenancies; inability to achieve market rents on lease renewal or re-letting; rent arrears affecting cash flow; concentration of income from limited number of tenants are considered by the trustees. To mitigate such risks, robust tenant vetting and credit checks prior to granting tenancies; diversified tenant base across multiple properties and sectors; rent deposit schemes and guarantees where appropriate; proactive property and tenancy management; regular rent reviews in line with market conditions; prompt action on rent arrears; void contingency included in budgets; properties maintained to high standards to minimise void periods.
Property Maintenance and Capital Expenditure Risks
Risks considered include but not limited to unexpected major repairs or capital expenditure requirements; aging building fabric and systems; failure to comply with building safety regulations including fire safety requirements; environmental performance standards including EPC requirements; dilapidations claims; inadequate maintenance budgets. The trustees have mitigated against such risks by having a planned preventative maintenance programme; regular building condition surveys; designated maintenance reserves; compliance monitoring systems for all regulatory requirements including fire safety, gas safety, electrical safety and EPC standards; professional property management; investment in energy efficiency improvements; building insurance with appropriate excess levels; contingency provisions in annual budgets.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance Risks
Risks considered include non-compliance with landlord obligations under housing and tenancy legislation; health and safety breaches; failure to meet building safety and fire safety requirements; data protection breaches relating to tenant information; changes in landlord and tenant legislation affecting operations or costs; disputes with tenants or neighbouring property owners. To mitigate against such risks, the trustees normally seek professional legal advice on property matters; comprehensive compliance framework covering all landlord obligations; regular training for trustees and staff on regulatory requirements; documented policies and procedures; statutory inspections and certifications maintained; membership of relevant landlord bodies; horizon scanning for legislative changes; appropriate professional indemnity insurance.
Interest Rate and Financing Risks
Credit risk is limited as there are no borrowings in the charity and its group.
Economic and Market Conditions
In the event of an economic downturn which affects tenant affordability and business viability; inflationary pressures on maintenance and management costs; changes in local economic conditions affecting specific property locations; shifts in occupier demand for different property types; impact of remote working on commercial property demand, are all risks considered. with the geographical diversification of portfolio; mix of property types and tenant sectors; focus on properties with strong fundamentals and sustainable demand; regular market analysis and portfolio strategy reviews; cost control measures; maintenance of reserves to absorb temporary income reductions; flexibility in lease terms where appropriate to retain good tenants are all mitigation measures taken by the trustees.
Insurance and Catastrophic Loss
Risks such as damage to properties from fire, flood or other insured perils; adequacy of insurance cover; increasing insurance premiums; uninsured losses; loss of rental income during reinstatement periods are mitigated by the trustees by obtaining comprehensive buildings and contents insurance with appropriate cover levels; regular review of insurance arrangements and adequacy of cover; rent loss insurance to cover void periods during repairs; engagement with reputable insurers; annual insurance valuations to ensure adequate sum insured; risk management measures to reduce insurance claims.
Strategic and Reputational Risks
Risks such as portfolio strategy not aligned with long-term charitable objectives; reputational damage from poor tenant relations or property conditions; portfolio concentration in inappropriate property types; failure to demonstrate social value from property holdings are mitigated by the trustees by having a clear investment policy linking property portfolio to charitable objectives; transparent reporting on property activities and social impact; high standards of property management; consideration of environmental and social factors in property decisions; periodic review of whether property holdings remain appropriate means of generating charitable income.
Risk Management Process
The charity maintains a comprehensive risk register which is reviewed regularly by the trustees. The register rates risks according to likelihood and potential impact, identifies existing controls, and sets out further mitigating actions where required. Key risk indicators are monitored regularly and reported to trustees. The property portfolio is subject to ongoing professional management with regular reporting on performance, compliance and emerging risks.
Given the significance of the property portfolio to the charity's operations, the trustees receive detailed monthly reports on portfolio performance, tenant matters, maintenance issues and market conditions. Professional advisers including

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity's and its Group’s principal source of funding is rental income from investment properties. These properties were acquired through initial capital provided by the trustees in 1981, enabling the charity to establish a sustainable income stream to support its charitable activities.
Investment powers, policy and performance
The charity and its Group holds investment properties value as at the year end £23.6m (2024: £23.5m). The trustees review the performance of these investments regularly to ensure they continue to provide appropriate returns to fund the charity's and its Group’s objectives. During the year, the properties generated a net rental yield of £1.37m (2024: 1.27m) after management and maintenance costs.
Reserves policy
In accordance with the Declaration of Trust, the charity and its Group are able to make any investment which the Trustees see fit, subject to any conditions imposed or required by law.
The trustees are satisfied with the return on investments achieved during the year, having achieved their target as set out in their investment policy and feel confident that the charity and its Group have adequate reserves to fulfil its charitable obligations.
The balance sheet shows a satisfactory position with undistributed funds amounting to £31,431,013 (2024: £30,827,039) of which the Educational Reserve of £9m (2024: £9m) are designated funds for investment project purposes. The funds are all unrestricted funds which have been earmarked by the Trustees to be invested to produce an income to further the principal activities of the charity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity and its Group aims to maintain reserves in order that it is in a position to continue its grant making activities at a consistent level and to cover contingencies of additional calls being made upon the charity and its Group for support of organisations or institutions in times of need.
The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the provision of assistance by the giving of grants or equipment in the short term, and the trustees consider the financial position of the charity and its Group to be satisfactory.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees plan to continue to support charities and charitable purposes in accordance with their grant making policy and to ensure that the ability to generate sufficient income is maintained to achieve that end.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity and its Group is controlled by its governing document, a Declaration of Trust dated 29 May 1981, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF B E PERL CHARITABLE TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of B E Perl Charitable Trust (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiary (the ‘Group’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the consolidated Balance Sheet, the charity balance sheet, the consolidated 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the parent charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the Group’s 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 including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 Group'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 contained within the Report of the Trustees. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns of the parent charity; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF B E PERL CHARITABLE TRUST
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 Group and parent 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 Group or the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Irregularities, including fraud are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We designed procedures in line with our responsibilities outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through verbal and written communications with those charged with governance and other management; and via inspection of the Group's regulatory and legal correspondence (as required by auditing standards).
We discussed with those charged with governance and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We communicated identified laws and regulations to our team and remained alert to any indicators of non-compliance throughout the audit, we also specifically considered where and how fraud may occur within the Group.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the Group is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements (including related Group legislation), including: the Group's constitution, relevant financial reporting standards i.e. FRS102, Charity SORP (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011; tenant and landlord legislation; tax legislation and distributable funds legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Secondly the Group is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines and penalties, or through losses arising from litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an affect: employment legislation; charity legislation; health and safety legislation; property rental legislation; data protection legislation; anti-bribery and corruption legislation.
International Standards on Auditing (UK) limit the required procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to the procedures, and no procedures over and above those already noted are required. These limited procedures did not identify any actual or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations that could have a material impact on the financial statements.
In relation to fraud, we performed the following specific procedures in addition to those already noted:
- Challenging assumptions made by management in its significant accounting estimates.
8
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF B E PERL CHARITABLE TRUST
-
Identifying and testing journal entries during the period and post balance sheet date, in particular any entries posted with unusual nominal ledger account combinations, journal entries crediting cash or any income account, journal entries posted by senior management.
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud;
-
Ensuring that testing undertaken on both the Statement Of Financial Activities (SOFA) and the Balance Sheet includes a number of items selected on a random basis.
These procedures did not identify any actual or suspected fraudulent irregularity that could have a material impact on the financial statements.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with International Auditing Standards (UK). For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the procedures that we are required to undertake would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a high risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these might involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud, and cannot be expected to detect noncompliance with all laws and regulations or every incidence of fraud.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

One of the freehold properties is held by a related charity, The Huntingdon Foundation Limited, as nominee as to 40% beneficially for itself and 60% for the benefit of The B E Perl Charitable Trust.
Investment property was valued by the Trustees on the basis of open market value on 31 March 2025. Due to the current state of the property market the Trustees are unable to give a precise value to the freehold property but believe it to be not less than the above carrying values and in their opinion, in the event of disposals will achieve, at least, the carrying values.
