| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 |
| 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 30 September 2025. 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 |
| Aims, Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit |
| The charity’s objects are to advance charitable purposes for the public benefit, whether by making grants or otherwise, as the trustees consider appropriate. In particular, the charity focuses on the following areas: |
| Prevention or Relief of Poverty: |
| The charity aims to alleviate poverty and financial hardship by providing grants to individuals in need and to charitable organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. |
| Advancement of Education: |
| The charity supports the advancement of education, especially in relation to the Jewish religion, by making grants to institutions engaged in the promotion of Jewish knowledge and learning. |
| The charity regularly supports a range of institutions, organisations, and individuals whose work aligns with its charitable purposes. All beneficiaries are identified through careful consideration by the trustees to ensure alignment with the charity’s aims. |
| Public benefit |
| The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. |
| Grantmaking |
| Grants are made to charitable institutions, organisations, and individuals following appropriate due diligence by the trustees. The trustees ensure that all grants are consistent with the charity’s objectives and that funds are used solely for charitable purposes. |
| Volunteers |
| The charity had no volunteers during the year. The trustees freely contribute their time and expertise to support the charity’s work and do not receive any remuneration. |
| ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE |
| Charitable activities |
| During the year, the charity distributed charitable grants totalling £975,883 (2024: £2,840,621). |
| Of this amount, £923,078 (2024: £2,504,995) was granted to charitable institutions, including schools, community organisations and poverty relief initiatives. A further £52,805 (2024: £335,626) was granted directly to individuals experiencing financial hardship. |
| All grants underwent appropriate due diligence by the trustees to ensure that the funds were used solely for charitable purposes and in full alignment with the charity’s objectives. |
| Internal and external factors |
| In 2025 the charity became subject to an inquiry by the Charity Commission regarding certain aspects of its governance and financial operations. The trustees are fully cooperating with the Commission and have taken proactive steps to ensure all necessary information and documentation has been provided. |
| As an interim regulatory measure, the Commission directed the charity to temporarily suspend the issuing of cheques. However, the charity has been permitted to continue operating and fulfilling its charitable objectives through other means, including electronic bank transfers. |
| The trustees remain committed to maintaining high standards of transparency, accountability and regulatory compliance. |

| REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Reserves policy |
| The charity aims to maintain sufficient reserves to allow it to continue its grantmaking activities at a consistent level and to ensure it can respond to urgent or unforeseen requests for support from individuals or institutions in need. |
| As at 30 September 2025, the charity held £847 in cash and had no restricted funds. The charity’s activities continue to be supported by donor funding, including donations received after the year end. |
| Funds in deficit |
| At the year end, the charity’s unrestricted funds were in deficit. However, the trustees received further donations after the balance sheet date and are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue operating. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
| FUTURE PLANS |
| The trustees intend to continue supporting charitable institutions and individuals in line with the charity’s grantmaking policy and will seek to maintain sufficient levels of income to enable this work to continue effectively. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and as such, its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association. |
| Organisational structure |
| The charity is governed by a board of three trustees, whose names are listed below. While the trustees hold formal meetings on a quarterly basis to review the charity’s activities, financial position, and compliance with record-keeping requirements, they also maintain close and regular informal contact throughout the year to manage the charity’s affairs and respond to operational matters as they arise. |
| Induction and training of new trustees |
| New trustees must familiarise themselves with the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, their legal obligations under charity and company law, the organisational structure of Yad Vochessed Association Ltd and the recent financial performance of the charity. |
| Related parties |
| Details of transactions with 'Related Parties' are disclosed in Note 13 to the Financial Statements. |
| Risk management |
| The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, particularly those related to its financial operations, governance, and compliance. These include the risk of misapplication of funds, regulatory non-compliance, and reputational risk. The trustees are satisfied that appropriate systems and internal controls are in place to mitigate these risks, including regular review of financial records, implementation of updated financial controls and conflict of interest policies, and ongoing trustee oversight of all grant-making activities. |

| Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Yad Vochessed Association Limited ('the Company') |
| I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2025. |
| 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. |
