REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 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 31 October 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
Objectives and aims
The Charity's object and its principal activities are:

The promotion of the Jewish religion and the advancement of education in the Jewish religion, in Greater London and the provinces.

The Charity is organised so that the Directors and Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs.There are two part-time administrators, who manage the day to day administration of the charity.We are grateful to the many volunteers who assist the Charity in numerous ways.

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.

The trustees continue to operate within the confines of the charity objectives namely in the respect of the advancement of Orthodox Jewish education by providing educational outreach programmes as well as worship facilities which are open to all members of the Jewish Faith.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The trustees are satisfied with the performance of the Charity during the past year.

Despite the reduced level of donations we have maintained the level of participation in our educational programming and the resources allocated thereto.

In view of the wider economic climate, the Trustees are satisfied with the position of the Charity and its continued ability to impact favourably on the lives of its many beneficiaries.

It is worth noting that expanded use of internet technology has extended our 'reach' as well, at modest cost.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a Surplus of £69,936 for the year (2024: Deficit of £45,160). As at the year end, our reserves stand at a surplus of £847,030 ( 2024: £777,094).

Reserves Policy
The Trustees have been concentrating on building up the reserves of the charity to a level that will ensure that operation of the charity is not affected by any significant downturns in donation levels caused by the vagaries of the economy. They feel that a cash reserve level equivalent to two years operational expenses would allow them to achieve the required safety margin.

Our cash Reserves stood at £480,121 as at the year end ( 2024 £376,349)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025


FUTURE PLANS
Having operated from their current premises for 20 years, the Charity has plans to renovate and expand. Working with an architect and specialist planning consultant, a formal planning application is in preparation. Once completed, the Charity's ability to serve its constituents will be greatly enhanced. The trustees feel that fiscal responsibility dictates that this project can only be realistically contemplated from a position of financial stability.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The trust is constituted under the Memorandum and Articles of Association and incorporated on 25th October 1996.The trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees who would normally appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing Trustee. At the trustees' meeting, which is held every quarter, the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Trust, including consideration of reserves, risk management policies and performance.

Organisational structure
All directors of the company are also trustees of the charity , and there are no other trustees. All of the trustees named on page 1 served throughout the year unless otherwise stated.
The Board has the power to appoint additional trustees as it considers fit to do so.

Risk management
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
KESHER LTD


Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kesher Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 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.

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

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments



Debtors

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash in hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Creditors

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
