MENICHO VESIMCHO

THE RELIEF OF POVERTY BY WAY OF PROVIDING OF FOOD BOXES AND MONETARY GRANTS AMONGST PERSONS IN NEED AND HARDSHIP IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY THOSE IN THE ORTHODOX JEWISH COMMUNITY IN SALFORD UK.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

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