The information is shown on page 1 of the financial statements and forms part of this report.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The relief of poverty, and other such charitable purposes as the trustees think fit.
The trustees confirm that they have given due regard the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Achievement and performance**
Income for the year increased substantially and the trustees increased grantmaking accordingly. There was a deficit for the year, being funded by reserves held.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**

The trustees do not seek to maintain reserves, other than to ensure that they can continue the activities of the charity. Reserves at the year end were £3,321 deficit (2020 - £3,315).
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The charity plans to continue its activities for the foreseeable future subject to satisfactory income.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Charity constitution**
The charity is constituted and governed by Declaration of Trust dated 14 August 1989.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the board. It is not the intention of the trustees to appoint any new trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment induction and training procedures.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate them.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SHAAREI CHESED TRUST**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Shaarei Chesed Trust**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Shaarei Chesed Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 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**
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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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.
