Trustees' Report
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The purpose of the charity, as set out in its governing document, is to maintain, advance and promote the Christian faith and to advance education by such means as the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, think fit.
In furtherance of these objects, but not further or otherwise, the Charity has the following powers: 
- To promote the teachings of the Holy Scriptures as set out in the Bible with respect to the special and continuing relationship between God and His chosen people, Israel; 
- To promote and build friendship between the Christian Church, the Jewish people and Israel, and thereby build "Bridges for Peace" between them; and 
- To show Christian love by practical deeds done in the name of Jesus for the Jewish people and Israel.
Significant Activities
The main activities undertaken in relation to these purposes were focused on building relationships between Christian and Jewish communities and encouraging concern for Israel.
During the period under review, this was achieved through the various Adoption and Rescue schemes.
Project Tikvah and Ezra have continued to see Christians respond to the needs of Jewish people in Europe who wish to return to Israel.
In addition, we have supported the food bank in Jerusalem, which supplies food and other necessities to families in need.
We distributed the bi-monthly magazine Dispatch from Jerusalem, in both print and electronic form, to more than 1,645 subscribers. We also distributed the monthly teaching letter to Christians on our mailing list who join us in blessing the Jewish people 
Public Benefit
The Charity supports a number of projects for the benefit of the Jewish people and Israel, and some of the public benefits of these projects are detailed below:
We raised £590,776 in the UK, the majority of which was used to support our Ezra Projects.
Feed a Child – This programme currently meets the needs of 333 children (200 in Beit Shemesh, 80 in Karmiel, 30 in Kiryat Ekron and 23 in Jerusalem) in 11 different schools (8 in Beit Shemesh, 1 in Karmiel, 1 in Kiryat Ekron and 1 in Jerusalem).
Adoption Programme – Assisted since the start of the programme 5,157 families and individuals in crisis through this programme, averaging 59 each month.
Food Bank – In 2025, BFP purchased and distributed 349,901 kg of food, feeding an average of 24,685 people per month.
We gave direct aid through the Adopt an Israeli Town Programme to 23 towns.

Public Benefit - continued
We assisted 66 agencies that distributed food to those in need in communities across Israel, as well as two Christian Arab organisations. In addition, through the Immigrant Welcome Programme, we distributed 818 blankets, 3,753 cheer baskets, 547 kitchen gifts, 544 Jewish Bibles and 2,144 school kits during 2025.
Since the inception of the Immigrant Welcome Programme in 2002, we have served 43,000 families. During 2025, Bridges for Peace welcomed 1,105 new immigrants, bringing the project total with our partner Ezra International to 115,900 through Project Rescue.
Home Repair – Since the inception of the programme, more than 1,727 jobs have been completed. The Home Repair team has had a unique opportunity to serve within the Jewish community.
Project Rescue – We helped 1,105 Jewish people immigrate to Israel, bringing the total number supported through this work to 115,900.
We also support soup kitchens in Ukraine and Siberia and provided heaters, medicine, clothing and other essentials for destitute Jewish people who cannot emigrate.
Christian and Jewish relations in the UK – During 2025, we were again able to attend and facilitate events, including special events, Jewish festivals and Jewish-Christian conferences.
UK volunteers in Israel – During 2025, we had four full-time volunteers in Israel.
Bridges for Peace depends on the support of its volunteers, which is greatly appreciated. During 2025, Bridges for Peace had four volunteers in Israel who donated 8,000 hours. One UK volunteer donated 200 hours in the office, bringing the total to 8,200 hours. In addition, eight UK representatives undertook 250 hours of representation, attendance and marshalling at events on behalf of the Charity during the year. It is estimated that, without the help of volunteers and representatives, Bridges for Peace would need to find £105,000 to obtain similar services. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
A summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to its beneficiaries and to society, is set out below:
During 2025, Bridges for Peace endeavoured to promote the Charity across all parts of the United Kingdom.
The Feed a Child Programme currently meets the needs of 333 children in 11 schools. We are now in our second decade of bringing hope to Israeli children. In 2025, UK donors helped support an average of 49 children. The programme provides a hot meal every school day, textbooks, backpacks, dental care, school supplies, and participation in school outings, events and after-school programmes. UK donation: £25,186.
The Adoption Programme provides a much-needed safety net for 59 families currently on the programme. UK donors currently support 28 families and individuals in Israel. UK donation: £15,526.
In 2025, we distributed 3,753 cheer baskets in Israel.
In 2025, our food banks purchased and distributed a total of 349,901 kg (771,533 lbs) of food, feeding an average of 24,685 people per month. UK donation: £25,166.

Main Achievements - continued
Direct aid was given to 23 communities through our Adopt an Israeli Town Programme.
The UK has three donors who support a town.
Bridges for Peace assists 61 organisations that distribute food to those in need in communities across Israel, including six Christian Arab organisations. UK donors contributed £21,480 towards the programme.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The Trustees consider the financial performance of the Charity during the year to have been satisfactory.
Specific changes in fixed assets are detailed in the notes to the accounts. The Board of Trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund. In 2025, Bridges for Peace was able to sustain its reserves and exceed its commitments to Bridges for Peace International. We were able to transfer donations for the Ezra Projects in Israel and fulfil our donors' requests.
Reserves Policy
As an organisation we aspire to hold at least three-months operating costs in reserves.
These will ensure that the overheads can continue to be met for several months even if there is a substantial drop in donations. Restricted reserves are maintained for expenditure, at the discretion of the Trustees, on such projects that further the objectives and activities of the charity.
Going Concern
The Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties that will affect the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Additional Note
2025 was another significant year for the office as it responded to the ongoing war in the Gaza Envelope.
The displacement of Jewish kibbutz communities to other regions of Israel brought hardship and significant challenges for Israeli people on our programmes and for our partner organisations. Bridges for Peace International has implemented humanitarian responses, and donations for these projects remained strong, allowing Bridges for Peace International to meet all its commitments to projects and agencies.
Since the 7 October attack on Israel changed the landscape of our response overnight, we have continued to commit resources quickly, providing food and essential items held at our Jerusalem food bank. The UK office has also continued to provide requested aid, together with additional donated toys and personal items, which were flown to Israel and delivered in person from the UK to our programmes, with a combined total weight of 2,000 kg.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Bridges For Peace U.K. Ltd. for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Small Company Rules
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Bridges For Peace U.K. Ltd.
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity 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 the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Bridges For Peace U.K. Ltd. is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 02728884 and registered charity number 1014411 . The registered office is Office 18 Heol Ty Gwyn Industrial Estate, Maesteg, Mid Glamorgan, CF34 0BQ.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
2.2. Significant judgements and estimations
The financial statements are presented in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. 
The significant accounting policies applied in the application of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. No significant judgements have had to be made by the trustees in preparing these financial statements. 
The trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
2.4. Incoming Resources
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to, and virtually certain to receive, the income and the amount of the income can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where income has related expenditure the income and related expenditure is reported gross in the SoFA.
Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the the SoFA when receivable and only when the Charity has unconditional entitlement to the income.
Income from tax reclaims is included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates.
...CONTINUED
Page 12
Page 13
2.4. Incoming Resources - continued
Donated services and facilities are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.
The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts. 
Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable.
2.5. Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Expenditure on raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs.
Expenditure on charitable activities comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.
All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures & Fittings 20% Straight line
2.7. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the charitable company. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the statement of financial activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the statement of financial activities as incurred.
2.8. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
Page 13
Page 14
2.9. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.10. Financial Instruments
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
2.11. Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax as all its income is charitable and applied for charitable purposes.
2.12. Pensions
The charitable company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
