Structure, governance and management
Mikve Taharas Ruchel is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 28 September 2012 as a company and the company number is 08234000. It was registered as a charity on 15 July 2013 with a charity number 1152879.
The Charity is run by the trustees who all act in an honorary capacity. A new trustee would receive copies of the previous years' Annual Report and Accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet 'The Essential Trustee : What you need to know'.
Risk Management
The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures mitigate any perceived risks.
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the charity are;
(i) to advance the orthodox Jewish faith by providing a suitable Mikvah (ritual bath) and associated facilities specifically but not exclusively for the benefit of the Manchester Jewish community (ii) to promote such other purposes as are recognised by the law of England and Wales as charitable.
Public Benefit Policy
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
Grant Making Policy
Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the charity.
Strategic report
The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.
Achievements and performance
During the year the charity continued to fulfill its principal objective of the provision of a ritual bath available for public use. The charity donated £64,310 to Mikve Trust during the year as the trustees consider that this charity has similar aims and objectives to Mikve Taharas Rochel.
Financial review
As at 30 September 2024 the charity held free reserves, being the net current liabilities amounting to £91,227 (2023: (£96,076)).
The trustees acknowledge the above and are confident that the charity will be able to continue for the foreseeable future as they have obtained assurances from the company under common directorship and trusteeship that they will not call in their interest free loans amounting to £49,500 to the detriment of the cash flow of the charity. Additionally, the balance of the current liabilities relate to the bank loan that is up to date in terms of repayments, as well as accruals for accountancy.
It is appropriate therefore for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
Total funds held by the charity at the year end were £843,742 (2023: £800,016), all of which are unrestricted.
Reserves Policy
The unrestricted fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results.
The trustees are satisfied that the balance of the fund is an acceptable level of reserves. The charity's principal aim of provision of a ritual bath is fulfilled by its fixed asset base. It is the charity's policy to maintain cash reserves to cover administrative costs that may arise from time to time.
The trustees' annual report and the strategic report were approved on 17 June 2025 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Mikve Taharas Ruchel
Year ended 30 September 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Mikve Taharas Ruchel ('the charity') for the year ended 30 September 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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.
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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 30 September 2024
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 2nd Floor Parkgates, Bury New Road, Prestwich, Manchester, M25 0TL.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The charity has net current liabilities. The trustees acknowledge the above and are confident that the charity will be able to continue for the foreseeable future as they have obtained assurances from the company under common directorship and trusteeship that they will not call in their interest free loans amounting to £49,500 to the detriment of the cash flow of the charity. Additionally, the balance of the current liabilities relate to the bank loan that is up to date in terms of repayments, as well as accruals for accountancy. It is appropriate therefore for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements did not require management to make judgements, estimates or assumptions that affect the amounts reported at the year end.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
Resources expended
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.
Charitable activities are made up of administrative costs of the ritual bath and governance costs.
Expenditure also includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Governance costs are included on an accruals basis and are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
4. Limited by guarantee
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £5.
