BETTER WORLD CHARITY LIMITED

Better World operates several educational projects each working within its own restricted budget and funds. It provides education to the Jewish and wider community, in a spirit of idealism and wisdom with an emphasis on encouraging volunteering with the disadvantaged and gratitude. All programmes are focused on being accessible to the financially disadvantaged.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are only 3 trustees
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
