THE BRITISH JEWISH HERITAGE SOCIETY
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charity are the furtherance of the Orthodox Jewish religion by way of support to educational institutions, assisting in the reduction of poverty and granting help for charitable causes at the discretion of the trustees.
Public benefit
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 charity's aims and objectives, and in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year.
Grantmaking
The trustees obtain details of all requests for assistance and ensure that good recommendations are received before any payments are made.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
During the year we have continued to allow local charitable organisations use the centre and rent shops at a low rate. There are 4 shops that are rented to local enterprise at reduced rent and nominal service charges, each leading to an average of £5,000 of their normal commitment. In addition the Dover Big Local in conjunction with the Community Café hold events for disadvantage local people in the Atrium for which we make no charge. These are day time, evening and weekend engagements which in themselves bring a vibrancy to the centre in the hope of attracting more commercial customers and users. In addition to supporting the 4 shop enterprises, we have given a £6,000 concession on the rent to Migrant Help who have taken the residential flats to give respite and temporary homes to abused and trafficked immigrants. We are delighted to assist with this essential work.
FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy
The trustees try to ensure that the charity retains sufficient funds to cover immediate anticipated outgoings. They have contacts at all times with potential donors who are able to assist with the charity's requirements.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH JEWISH HERITAGE SOCIETY
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The British Jewish Heritage Society
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The British Jewish Heritage Society (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of A.C.A which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
