CHANA CHARITY LTD

CHANA is a non-profit organisation set up to provide support and up-to-date medical information to couples in the Jewish Community and their extended families who experience difficulties with fertility. CHANA aims to raise awareness in the community and help reduce the stigma and isolation so often felt by those challenged with infertility.

Analysis by Giving is Great

The Board is predominantly male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
