Structure, governance and management

Ezer LaYeled Ltd is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 26 November 2003. It is governed by its memorandum and articles of association and was registered as a charity on 2 December 2004.

The Directors/Trustees are responsible for the governance of the organisation and are active in all operational aspects of strategic management. Major policy decisions are decided at full directors'/ Trustees' meetings.

Day to day management of activities is the responsibility of the manager, supported by administrative staff and a team of professionals and volunteers.

In Memoriam - Dr Wilks

The trustees wish to record their profound sadness at the passing of Dr Wilks, a founding trustee of Ezer Layeled.

From the very beginning, Dr Wilks was instrumental in establishing and guiding the organisation, providing thoughtful leadership, sound judgement and unwavering support. His involvement in governance was marked by integrity, care and a genuine commitment to the families and children the charity serves. Dr Wilks' contribution has left a lasting impact on the organisation, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of working with him. The trustees express their heartfelt gratitude for his years of dedicated service and extend their sincere condolences to his family.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are:

a. To provide support to children with developmental, emotional, psychological, behavioural, learning or and social difficulties who live in and around Manchester – in a culturally sensitive environment.

b. To improve children’s communication, physical and emotional development and enable them realise their potential.

c. To relieve persons in need, hardship or distress within the orthodox Jewish community with a preference to Manchester particularly through the provision of counselling, advice, advocacy and other support.

d. To promote education, particularly by supporting the provision of tuition for children who have fallen behind with their education, or are at risk of exclusion from school.

The charity's activities include:

- Family support and advice;

- Hospital Volunteer Service Mentoring and counselling;

- Occupational Therapy & Sensory Integration;

- Physiotherapy Speech & Language Therapy;

- Therapeutic Art.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on fee-charging.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

The charity received £161,003 (2025 - £162,522) in grants, donations, sponsorships and parental contributions during the year and £184,356 (2025 - £175,909) was spent in furtherance of its charitable objectives. There was an overall deficit for the year of £23,212 (2025 - £13,727 deficit).

The staff and trustees have continued working hard to keep costs and overheads to a minimum without compromising on our high standard of service and professionalism. Although we ask for a contribution towards the costs of our services, we have given careful consideration to enable individuals on low income to access our services. Since we are committed to enabling as many children as possible to benefit from the support that Ezer LaYeled offers, we welcome all children regardless of personal background, faith, gender or personal circumstances.

Once again, we give credit for our achievements to the remarkable effort made by the trustees and staff.

Financial review

The balance of unrestricted funds at the year-end shows a deficit of £15,078 (2025 - £8,134 surplus). The trustees recognise that this is below the desired reserves level and have taken active steps during the year to address this position. These include reviewing the level of requested parental contributions, increasing session capacity, and implementing cost controls where possible.

The trustees aim to maintain reserves of at least £10,000 where practicable, in order to provide a buffer against fluctuations in income and to ensure the continuity of services. Given the current financial position, restoring reserves remains a key priority for the coming year, alongside continued efforts to secure grant funding and increase income streams.

Although we receive voluntary contributions from parents, we nevertheless have a large weekly deficit. In order for us to maximise the level of input that we provide to our clientele, we continuously approach granting bodies and charitable trusts. None of this valuable work would be possible without the ongoing support of our funders who have trust in our organisation. The trustees would like to record their appreciation for all financial support received from benefactors during the course of the year. These funds have enabled us to provide the much needed support that our beneficiaries, the children, deserve. The recipients of our services continuously express their appreciation and admiration to all members of the public that assist us in delivering vital services.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 January 2026

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 C/O Whiteside & Davies, 158 Cromwell Road, Salford, M6 6DE, England.

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

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

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 incoming resources are 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. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

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.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings	-	25% straight line
Equipment	-	25% straight line

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. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity 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. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
