TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
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 286075 and its company registration number is 01671914.
The trustees administer the day-to-day affairs of the charity. None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the charity and no benefit or expenses were paid in the year.
It is with deep regret that we report the passing of Mrs M G Grosskopf on the 23 October 2024. She was one of the founding directors and trustees of the charity. May we be the bearers of only good news in the future.
Risk management
The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures mitigate any perceived risks.
Appointment, Training and Recruitment of Trustees
It is not the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint any new trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment training and induction procedures.
Related parties and co-operations with other organisations
None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee of the charity with another charity must be disclosed to the board of trustees on the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity was established to advance religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish Faith and relief of poverty 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 and also abroad. The trustees consider all requests which they receive and make donations based on level of funds available which accord with the objects of the charity.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year the charity made grants totalling £62,360 (2024: £89,600) to other charities.
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 investments in UK property realised a gross income of £203,376 (2024: £188,760).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves Policy
At the year-end £2,902,014 (2024: £2,786,242) 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, in-order to maintain and finance the charity's investment portfolio, 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.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The trustees, whilst being of the opinion that sufficient funds are required to be retained within the company in order to maintain and finance its investment portfolio, and thereby its financial return, are actively considering a policy of substantially increasing the rate and quantum of donations made by the company in those areas which would justify such an approach.
The trustees plan to continue to make distributions in accordance with their grant making policy and to ensure that an appropriate level of reserves is maintained.
SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 23 December 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SONGDALE LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Songdale Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and 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.

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 financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Songdale Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Going concern

The trustees recognise that they have the ability to exercise control over the charity's grant making charitable activities due to the absence of any legally binding obligations.
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 area significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 21.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
-
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due and prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount due.
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.
