NER YISROEL EDUCATIONAL TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2025. 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, 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, Ner Yisroel campus operated the campus to its fullest potential. An important highlight of the year was the Building Fund Campaign, launched to raise funds to replace the synagogue roof and build a new all-purpose services and activity space about the library and office. The board continued to develop a range of support services to help the community, led by Dayan Zobin. He and Rebbetzin Zobin continued to offer leadership and guidance in all spiritual and halachic matters.
Regular, high-level study groups in matters of Jewish tradition, philosophy, law and practice, including a daily Daf Yomi lecture continued.
ACHIEVEMENTS 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 £413,791 (2024: £1,140), of which £453,828 of income represented donations made in the year for the building fund campaign. Work on the roof replacement was completed in July 2025 and the first-floor extension will be completed in February 2026.
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 2024, the Treasurer conducted a review of forecast income and expenditure. A budget 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, when available, 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.
Funds
At the year end, total funds held by the Charity amounted to £1,866,784 (2024: £1,452,993). Unrestricted funds amounted to £586,113 (2024: £632,548).
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
The Charity aims to provide full, participative, campus-based and online resources for members and visitors to enjoy and experience a full, communal, spiritual Jewish life, in accordance with orthodox custom and practice.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Operational Structure
The Trustees work together with the Management Board of the Ner Yisroel community, "The Community", whose duties and responsibilities are governed by the constitution of the Community. 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 Trustees also employ 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 of The Community are taken by the Management Board, in consultation with the Trustees, after taking appropriate external advice should this be deemed necessary.
External affiliations
The constitution provides that the Community 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.
Risk management
The Trustees regularly examine the major strategic and operational risks which the Trust faces and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
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 plans for the future.
Constitution
The Ner Yisroel Educational Trust was founded in October 1984. It is a charity with the object of maintaining a place of public worship and advancing religious, educational, and charitable objects under registration number 327078. The Trustees work with the Ner Yisroel Community and make the premises available to the community for its use as a synagogue and Jewish educational establishment.
The Trust is controlled by its governing document, a Declaration of Trust dated 20 February 1986, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NER YISROEL EDUCATIONAL TRUST
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ner Yisroel Educational Trust
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ner Yisroel Educational Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2025.
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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
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 daily 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. The restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.
Pension costs have been allocated to synagogue running costs under charitable activities and are paid out of unrestricted funds.
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, which is deemed to be 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for as either debt instruments or financial liabilities. Both assets and liabilities are all measured at amortised cost.
