**NER YISROEL EDUCATIONAL TRUST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** 

The Trustees present their annual report, together with the financial statements, of the Ner Yisroel Educational Trust (the Charity) for the year ended 5 April 2021. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in March 2005. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives, development, activities and achievements in the year** 

Each year the Trustees review the objectives and activities of the charity to ensure they are consistent. In carrying out this review the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for public benefit. 

During the year under review (which was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic) Ner Yisroel, while being forced to close the campus for several months because of lockdown, implemented online technology to offer as many communal religious services and educational and welfare programmes to support the community. The Board implemented a range of support groups to help the community. In particular, our Rav, Rabbi Zobin, and Rebetzin Zobin remotely, and where possible in person offered leadership and guidance in all spiritual matters and many practical matters caused by lockdown restrictions. 

For almost the whole year under review, even while the Ner campus was closed, there continued to be daily community-based activities, where possible including life cycle celebrations, and careful planning enabled a local nursery and crèche to offer much needed support to local families who were key workers. The transformation to on line learning meant that the regular high level study groups in matters of Jewish tradition, philosophy, law and practice, including a daily Daf Yomi lecture, were able to continue. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Transactions and financial position** 

Financial matters are run by the Treasurer, with the assistance of other Board members and member volunteers as needed. 

The Statement of Financial Affairs shows a net surplus for the year of £2,956 (2020: 129,547 deficit). 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The principal funding sources of the Charity are membership income, donations and activities undertaken by the Charity to generate additional income. The Treasurer with the Board of Management reviews these funding sources on a regular basis to ensure that they are sufficient to cover the core running costs of the Charity and the annual loan repayment commitments. In April 2021, the Treasurer conducted a review of forecast income and expenditure in light of the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Action was taken to cut costs; furlough working staff and appeal to members for donations from membership pledges to raise funds. A new budget under restrictions was approved and the Treasurer has been monitoring income and costs on a regular basis since then to ensure that the Charity finances are kept in order. 

## **Investment policy and returns** 

The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and, as the Charity has only relatively small cash reserves, any excess monies are placed in interest bearing bank accounts. The Trustees consider the return on such investments in the year to be satisfactory. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have been able, and continue to be able, to meet the charity's liabilities as they fall due and they also hold sufficient funds which are restricted for various activities and projects. Therefore, at present, the Trustees do not consider it necessary to have a specific reserves policy. They are, however, taking concerted steps to develop a series of initiatives so as to further improve the Charity's financial position.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Funds** 

At the year end, total funds held by the Charity amounted to 1,368,272 (2020: £1,365,316). Unrestricted funds amounted to £551,403 (2020: £543,426). 

## **Restricted funds** 

Note 17 records the description, balances and movements on various restricted funds set up by the Charity over time, where income has been received, and resources expended , on specific areas related to the Charity's activities, designated for those purposes. 

## **Plans for the future** 

Subject to the gradual easing of lockdown restrictions , The Charity will continue to provide on line resources for members and look forward to a time when members will be able to enjoy a communal, participative, full and spiritual Jewish life, in accordance with orthodox custom and practice. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Operational Structure** 

The trustees of the Synagogue work together with the Management Board, and their respective duties and responsibilities are governed by the constitution of the Synagogue. On the occasion of the resignation of a trustee, nominations for appointment are solicited from members who have relevant skills and are already active in the community. 

In accordance with the constitution, Management Board members offer themselves for election at the Annual General Meeting. Trustees are entitled to attend all Board meetings. The Board is engaged in various areas of interest, with members and co-opted volunteers taking responsibility for specific areas; comprising: 

-Religious affairs -Education -Youth and children services 

-Premises, facilities and security -Finance and membership 

In addition to the structures and responsibilities detailed above, the Synagogue also employs administrative and caretaking teams, who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the building and organising of events and celebrations in co-ordination with the relevant Management board members and/or volunteers. The administrative team are often the first contact for members needing to deal with matters of a sensitive nature, relating to life events and bereavements. 

All significant operational decisions are taken by the Executive board, in consultation with the Trustees, after taking appropriate external advice should this be deemed necessary. 

## **External affiliations** 

The constitution provides that the Synagogue recognises the authority of the Court of the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth (London Beth Din), but there is no formal affiliation with any external ecclesiastical body. 

In respect of bereavement, members may choose to make burial contributions to the Burial Society of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, to cover burial costs. 

The Synagogue operates a Gemach fund for the alleviation of poverty within the local community. Near the year-end a separate Gemach charity was established to enhance the fundraising capabilities of the Gemach's work. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees regularly examine the major strategic and operational risks which the Synagogue faces and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate those risks. In light of Covid-19 pandemic risk assessments were conducted around finance, health and safety and premises and actions taken to ensure that identified risks could be minimised. 

Despite Covid-19 pandemic, the trustees do not consider there to be any significant factors within or outside the charity's control which have affected the achievement of its objectives in the year or its future plans.

**NER YISROEL EDUCATIONAL TRUST** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Changes in accounting policies** 

There are no significant changes to accounting policies or reclassifications of any figures due to amendments to the SORP or FRS 102. However, the presentation has changed slightly as support costs are now allocated to the various categories of charitable expenditure, rather than being reported as a separate line in the Statement of Financial Activities. The comparatives have also been restated to reflect this change. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. 

Incoming resources from generated funds - this includes membership income, one-off activities undertaken during the year, and income received from the letting out of the charity's premises during the year. 

Incoming resources from charitable activities - this is comprised of various activities undertaken by the charity on a daily basis where donations are accepted for taking part and making use of the activities and services provided by the charity. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Expenditure is classified as follows: 

i) Charitable expenditure - this is comprised of all expenditure incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services and includes salaries and other expenses related to the costs of the synagogue. These costs have been allocated to the charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

ii) Governance costs - this is comprised of all costs associated with meeting the constitutional and other statutory requirements of the charity. 

## **Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs have been allocated to governance costs and comprise costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulations. 

Governance costs have been allocated to synagogue running costs under charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Fixtures and fittings|-  25% on reducing balance|
|---|---|
|Library Books|-  25% on reducing balance|
|Computer equipment|-  25% on reducing balance|



Depreciation is not provided on freehold land and buildings because the estimated residual value of these assets is considered by the trustees to be in excess of the carrying value in the financial statements. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost.

Interest was being charged at a five year fixed rate of 4.3% over base rate up to April 2021, since which date the rate is now variable at 3.5% over bank of England Base Rate. 

Included in bank loans is a Covid Bounce Back loan of £50,000 (2020: nil) borrowed in October 2020 from HSBC.
