THE SHERWOOD FOUNDATION CIO 

To advance education primarily but not exclusively to Judaism and the Jewish faith by way of grants, bursaries and endowments. To advance education by assisting in the funding and establishment of apprenticeships to teach the skills (such as polishing and cutting gems) necessary to prepare apprentices for work in the jewellery industry.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
