MENUCHA V'SIMCHA 

Menucha V'Simcha was established with the goal of enhancing people's lives through increased knowledge and observance of Shabbat, with a particular focus on the inspirational power of Friday night. We are non-judgmental and want to reach out to Jews from across the religious spectrum and across all demographics to help them begin or improve their Friday night experience.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
