REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


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

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims for public benefit
The object of the charity is to improve the lives of people of all ages who suffer from long- or short-term illness or disability. The charity does this by providing hands on support in the form of nurses or care workers as well as signposting to other relevant agencies and resources. The charity also makes grants at the trustees' discretion to help individuals and families at times of crisis or longer-term difficulties, focusing on health-related crises and poverty.
The trustees confirm to have given due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

Significant activities
The charity has again been successful in providing care as needed, as well as an increased volume of grants as the need has arisen. Government and local authority resources provided have continued to be inadequate to meet the true needs of users of all ages and we are well placed to be able to add to these resources, ensuring that vulnerable people are kept safe and with a good quality of life. The charity has had to step in where the need was great and pressing, and has been aided by this with funds from the Claims Conference and also the Association of Jewish Refugees. The charity continues to have sufficient reserves, but the Trustees will continue to consider how best to manage resources so that a deficit does not re-occur. This will ensure that the needs of its vulnerable target group will continue to be met, despite the severe limitations on care provided by local authorities.

North London Bikur Cholim continues to be commissioned by local authorities and by the NHS to provide care on their behalf. We also provide care services to self-paying users; the charity charges for these care services at its discretion, and in some circumstances provide this service free of charge. Excess funds received are utilised for that purpose, as well as to make grants, or to provide extra hours of care to those who need them, but which the statutory authorities will not provide.

This past year we have been awarded several grants from trusts and local authority to provide additional services to our clients as well as others in need in the community.

We carried out a large project providing a range of therapies to children with various physical, emotional and medical conditions, giving them a chance for improved outcomes. We would like to thank Delapage for enabling us to deliver this project.

We also delivered on a funded project where children with special needs were cared for out of the home for several hours over a period of months, providing their family with much needed respite; and enabling siblings to spend quality uninterrupted time with their friends, in a calm and peaceful environment.

Grantmaking
The charity makes grants to individuals and families where required on medical grounds and for respite, holidays and equipment for those in need. The trust also supports those struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. The trustees base their decision on references from outside agencies, self-referrals and from their own close knowledge of the needs of members of the Orthodox Jewish community.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
North London Bikur Cholim has continued to uphold its mission of providing critical care and support to the vulnerable members of our community. Over the past year, our efforts have focused on bridging the gaps in public services, ensuring equitable access to healthcare and support, and leveraging technological advancements to enhance our service delivery. The following is a detailed account of our significant activities over the past year, reflecting our commitment to improving the quality of life for those we serve.

Bridging Language and Cultural Barriers:
This year, NLBC employed dedicated workers to assist community members facing language and cultural barriers, ensuring they have equal access to essential services. These workers played a crucial role in helping clients navigate the healthcare system, complete necessary paperwork, collaborate effectively with general practitioners, and guide them through complex bureaucratic processes. This initiative has been instrumental in ensuring that all members of our community receive the care and support they need, regardless of language or cultural differences.
Employment Opportunities for Learning Disabled Adults:
NLBC has been proactive in helping adults with learning disabilities access meaningful employment opportunities. Through our efforts, two individuals with Down syndrome have secured positions at a disposable product manufacturer. Additionally, two individuals with autism and epilepsy are now employed at a bakery factory, one works in packaging boxes with a food distributor, and another serves as a helper in a creche. These placements have not only provided these individuals with a sense of purpose and independence but also fostered greater inclusivity within the workplace.

Therapeutic Interventions for Children:
Thanks to a generous grant from an anonymous funder, we have provided a comprehensive range of therapies to children suffering from severe syndromes and health issues, significantly aiding their development. Families have reported numerous positive changes, including increased mobility, improved speech, and better overall understanding. These therapeutic interventions have been a beacon of hope for many families, providing their children with opportunities for improved outcomes and a better quality of life.

Transition to Digital Platforms:
In anticipation of the mandatory requirement for all adult social and healthcare services to transition to digital platforms, NLBC has proactively implemented this change over the past year. We have adopted ECM software to streamline our operations. This digital platform has revolutionised our service delivery by enabling us to store care delivery logs, review care plans, and complete risk assessments efficiently. The ECM software has facilitated real-time tracking and monitoring of care activities, ensuring that our services are both effective and responsive to the needs of our clients. This transition not only enhances our ability to deliver high-quality care but also ensures compliance with upcoming regulatory requirements, positioning NLBC as a forward-thinking and innovative organization.

In summary, North London Bikur Cholim has had a productive and impactful year, characterised by significant advancements in service delivery, community support, and the adoption of innovative technologies. Our continued success is a testament to the dedication of our staff, the generosity of our supporters, and our unwavering commitment to serving those in need.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Charity's income fell by 6% in comparison with the previous year, the cost of providing care services went down by just over 4% and with grantmaking being reduced by 20% there was a surplus for the year. The trustees would mention that due to ongoing problems with Hackney Council's IT systems there has been increase in our debtors due to the slowdown in payments by them.

Principal funding sources
The charity's main source of income is local authority funding of users of the charity's services.The trustees would like to express their continued appreciation for the support of the Association of Jewish Refugees and the Claims Conference in helping those eligible who are Holocaust Survivors, Second Generation Holocaust Survivors, dependents and Refugees as they become more frail and in greater need of support, also Victoria Convalescent Clevenden Convalescent for holiday funding and Hackney Parochial for funding for food parcels and meals.

C Joseph - Trustee

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NORTH LONDON BIKUR CHOLIM LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of North London Bikur Cholim Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NORTH LONDON BIKUR CHOLIM LIMITED


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NORTH LONDON BIKUR CHOLIM LIMITED


Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

In performing an audit, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

We also identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions misrepresentation or override of internal control.

We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of charity's internal control.

We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements

We concluded whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
