FRIENDS OF JERUSALEM BOTANICAL GARDENS

Through a series of lectures, visits and cultural activities and by promoting and running a Working Holiday for international volunteers to the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens as well as the International Horticultural Internship Scheme, the Friends of JBG have continued to support its objectives.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
There are only 2 trustees
The Board composition appears to be very static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
