Trustees' report for the year ended 31 March 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Reference and administrative information

Reference and administrative information is shown on page 1 of the financial statements and forms part of this report.

Constitution

The charity is constituted by Declaration of Trust dated 12 November 1986.

Organisation

The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the board. 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 induction and training procedures. The day to day running of the school is delegated to school administrators.

Objects for public benefit

The objects of the charity are to provide a place of worship, the provision of a school for the advancement of Orthodox Jewish religious education and grantmaking for the relief of poverty and the advancement of Orthodox Jewish religious education.

Fees are charged but those in financial hardship are given an allowance or are fully funded, according to circumstances. No child is refused education because of an inability to pay.

The trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Grantmaking policy

In general the trustees select the institutions to be supported according to their personal knowledge of work of the institution. Whilst not actively inviting applications, they are always prepared to accept any application which will be carefully considered and help given according to circumstances and funds then available.

Applications by individuals must be accompanied by a letter of recommendation by the applicant's minister or other known religious leader.

Review of activities and achievements

The trustees are pleased with the results for the year. Income was at a similar level to last year although there was an increase in expenditure. The breakfast club has been successful and it ensures children are given a good start to the day andthus improves schoolwork.

There are about 150 pupils who attend the school which has three departments for nursery, primary and secondary education in Stamford Hill, London N16.

The school continues to invest in new textbooks and teaching aids so that educational materials are of the highest standard. A varied programme of school outings and activities are arranged for the pupils.The teaching staff and trustees are pleased with the achievements and standards attained. The trustees are grateful to the Hackney Learning Trust for their grants.

Reserve policy

The trustees do not seek to maintain reserves other than to ensure that they can continue the activities of the charity. Unrestricted reserves at the year end were £32,101 (2023 - £63,773).

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
