LONDON JEWISH FORUM 

PROMOTION OF JEWISH LIFE IN LONDON AND TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN LONDON JEWRY AND THE GLA
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
