REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024



The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2024. 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 and aims
- The advancement of education and practice of the Jewish faith and culture in Bristol and southwest England and
- The provision of student support services and activities across southwest England;

Public benefit
The trustees have carefully considered the public benefit requirements and their duty to ensure that they are compliant with them. They feel that the activities as detailed below, more than adequately, satisfy the public benefit requirement.

ACTIVITIES

Chabad of Bristol serves as a community resource centre for Jewish students and communities in Bristol and across the South West region.

Our ongoing weekly classes for children, students and adults, as well as Shabbat meals and holiday programmes, support Jewish life in the area and create a community atmosphere. Online platforms have extended our reach across the South West allowing people who live further away from a Jewish community to connect.

This year has seen more demand for our counselling and pastoral services services in the community and on campus.
Our regular chaplaincy services continue at hospitals, prisons and universities all across the region, alongside home visits and care package deliveries in the community, ensuring no one is alone, without pastoral support.

The demand and distribution for our South West Jewish Art Calendar have greatly increased in addition to the seasonal Jewish educational publications we distribute across the region.

Regular school visits continue to be in demand in Bristol and beyond, with our popular hands-on Judaism presentation which creates bridges across communities and promotes understanding and tolerance.

The Chanukah Grand Menorah Lightings in multiple cities and campuses across the South West continue growing in number and reach. Many other communities uniquely welcome and support them as accessible Jewish events that are open to the public. We plan on expanding our regional programming and offerings to pave the way for the opening of a new Chabad Centre in the future which will cater to Jewish people living closer to Devon and Cornwall areas.

Chabad of Bristol continues to support the Bristol Hebrew Congregation with regular ministerial services, educational courses, Cheder teaching and Jewish holiday events for the community.

Following the purchase of our first permanent Chabad House last year, a major project of this year was installing a beautiful new kosher kitchen which is fully equipped to properly cater for the many community events we host.

A security review highlighted several enhancements which would help secure the centre, the first of which have already been implemented with further installations and upgrades in the works.

With our own premises, we will be opening a day camp as a branch of the international Gan Yisrael camp network, providing Jewish educational fun for children over the summer holidays.

The Bristol Mikvah project is a big step closer towards construction and completion with planning permission now granted and some grants secured towards the funding of the Mikvah. Further reports are still required as pre-commencement conditions and these have been commissioned.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Volunteers
There were 5 volunteers during the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The statement of financial activities show a net surplus for the year of £133,978 (2023 : £129,549). The net reserves of £555,658 ( 2023 : £421,680) will be carried forward to the following year to be used towards the charity's objectives.

Investment policy and objectives
The Memorandum and Articles of Association authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, as may be thought fit by them subject to any limitations and obligations imposed upon them by the Charities Act 2011 and the Trustee Investments Act 2000.

Reserves policy
The charity's reserves policy is to maintain sufficient reserves to enable the charity to continue its activities and services at a meaningful level, should there be a drop in income. As all income is derived from voluntary donations, the trustees review this position on a regular basis.
In view of this the trustees aim to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to meet three months basic
operating costs.

Having regard to the above the Trustees are of the opinion that the cash reserves totalling £122,795 held as at the year end would be sufficient to meet three months basic operating costs and, they intend to increase the reserves held in the forthcoming year.

There were no restricted funds as at the year end. The Trustees consider that the present level of reserves and funding is adequate to support the continuing operation of the charity, at current levels.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, articles of association and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
All Directors of the company are also Trustees of the Charity, and there are no other Trustees. All of the Trustees named above served throughout the year. The Board has the power to appoint additional trustees as it considers fit to do so.

Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CHABAD LUBAVITCH OF BRISTOL


Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Chabad Lubavitch of Bristol ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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.

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.

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


Long leasehold - Over the period of the lease
