THE OXFORD SYNAGOGUE AND JEWISH CENTRE LIMITED 

The main objectives are to make the premises owned by the charity available for Jewish religious and cultural activities and to promote charitable work on behalf of the students and wider community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
