What the accounts disclose
Related-party transaction: The document states the recipient is a charity where one of the trustees is also a trustee. It does not explicitly name the recipient charity in the transaction line, but lists 'Bais Rizhin Trust' in the grants table. However, Note 13 separates the loan and donation to 'a charity where one of the trustees... is also a trustee'. The grants table lists 'Bais Rizhin Trust' with £51,578. It is highly likely this is the related party, but the text in Note 13 does not explicitly name it. Rule 1 says NEVER guess. I must extract ONLY what is explicitly stated. Note 13 says 'donated £51,578... to a charity where one of the trustees... is also a trustee'. It does not name the charity. I will describe the transaction as stated.
“During the year the charity lent £3,400 (2023: £1,500) and donated £51,578 (2023: £9,597) to a charity where one of the trustees of this charity is also a trustee together with some of his close family members.” — page 13
