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 August 2020. 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

A T.I.M.E. Limited was established in June 2008 to assist those suffering from infertility problems, particularly those who are in financial need, through the provision of assistance to receive medical treatment.

The charity's objects are:

"To relieve persons, in particular but not exclusively, of the Jewish community, suffering from infertility or fertility problems, in particular by:

A) The provision of information, advice and support, in particular through the provision of a support group

B) The provision of a helpline

C) The provision of a periodic magazine

D) The provision of a website and other resources for information, guidance and educational materials

E) Referring beneficiaries to relevant medical assistance and advice"

Significant activities

The major sources of income during the year were donations from individuals and various institutions and these funds were directed towards the charitable activities which are detailed below.

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 planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

Grantmaking

Grants are made at the discretion of the trustees and in accordance with the principal objectives of the charity. All cases are assessed by the trustees and are treated with strict confidentiality.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The Trustees feel that the charity succeeded in accomplishing their objectives this year. The year has been a tough one financially for the charity and the trustees at all time considered their limited funding and ensured its activities benefit patients and contribute to its aims.

Helpline

Our confidential helpline, which is manned 24 hours a day by dedicated volunteers with vast knowledge in the fertility field, received calls throughout the year and successfully advised, supported and assisted couples who are experiencing infertility. Our helpline volunteers continuously work to form relationships with doctors and infertility clinics so we can advocate on their behalf and they can be guided correctly. This provides an added service to the couples ensuring they receive the best care, treatment and emotional support.

We have also continued to provide meals for couples undergoing treatment so that they have no additional burden or stress during this strenuous time.

The helpline saw a significant increase of calls from last year and we are regularly told by patients that without us they would be stuck.

Miscarriage

Suffering a miscarriage is an extremely heart breaking experience. We have a phone line for advice and counselling. In addition we have a beautifully designed PLP (Pregnancy Loss Package) which is sent to the grieving couple, to help them heal. It includes advice, support and encouragement as well as an uplifting CD and a small box of chocolates. The charity also helps couples deal with burial issues should they arise, G-d forbid, in addition to religious prayers recited on the couple's behalf.

Our volunteers have sent out many packages during the year and have had a large amount of requests for advice and support from people suffering a miscarriage.

Grants

With the extremely high costs involved in fertility treatment, we offer to ease the burden with either long term interest free loans or to pay for the treatment in part or full. We also fund transportation to and from clinics which can often be quite costly. We combine our knowledge of medical procedures and testing to avoid unnecessary costs thus enabling patients to minimise stress.

The trustees feel this year has been a very productive year. There has been increased demand for funding and they hope to be able to continue to provide this service to the ultimate benefit of the patients.

Witnessing Program

We offer couples what is known as Doros Yeshorim. This service provides witnesses who attend clinics where necessary as required by Jewish Law. Our witnesses have been trained to be aware of laboratory procedures.

We have provided this service to all patients where the laboratory procedures are necessary for their treatment. With our expertise of many years running this service we have advised and guided other organisations within Europe to enable them to setup their own program.

Support Groups

The support groups met during the year. Our events team organised speakers knowledgeable on the subject of fertility to attend. This further expands patients knowledge. We have received very positive feedback from the attendees, where couples formed friendships, learnt coping skills and received much inspiration. After these event we were flooded with thank you notes and phone calls telling us what a difference it makes for them. Our events team will continue to arrange events for the benefit of our members.

Library

Our library was visited frequently. The purchase of up to date literature containing information on the latest advances in treatment was welcomed by all members. We also expanded our vast selection of CDs and DVDs containing medical information and uplifting and supportive lectures from both medical professionals and recognised rabbinical authorities and distributed a quarterly magazine from an equivalent organisation based in America which shares our name. This magazine offers a wide range of resources and advice for couples who find themselves struggling with fertility issues.

We have continued to expand our media always on the lookout for the latest information. We have maintained the usage of the library and have helped many make sense of the maze of treatment and medical jargon enabling them to choose the correct path for treatment.

Support Groups and Events Programmes

Event groups for couples to get together and a hot line to keep up with each other's progress were our focus this year. We also organised a well known speaker, who has a vast amount of knowledge and experience in supporting and advising on the challenging issues of infertility, to speak at one of our events.

Fundraising activities - SHASATHON

We had a major fundraising event called Shasathon where over 400 members of the community came to learn Shas in one day under one roof to raise funds for the charity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

During the period the charity received £21,633 (2019: £596,567) in donations and £546,779 (2019: £172,264) from fund raising activities.

Reserves policy

The reserves policy is to ensure that there is a sufficient stream of income to meet the ongoing calls made on the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, its memorandum and articles of association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

It is not currently the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint new trustees. Should this situation change in the future, the trustees will select suitable recruitment and training procedures.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of A T.I.M.E. LIMITED ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2020.

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 registered member of A.C.A 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.
