CHABAD ON THE SOUTH BANK

The advancement of the Jewish religion and education of the public in the religion of Judaism in particular but not exclusively through the holding of prayer meetings, public celebration of religious festivals, providing educational programmes and producing and/or distributing literature on Judaism. Relief of poverty through the provision of financial support and coordination of practical support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

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