THE JEWISH VOLUNTEERING NETWORK

PROMOTING THE VOLUNTARY SECTOR IN PARTICULAR WITHIN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
