SOLIHULL AND DISTRICT HEBREW CONGREGATION

We organise and act as a facilitator for a broad range of activities, which can be broadly divided into three categories. 1. Social Welfare and support activities particularly for the young and elderly. 2. Activities to promote tolerance and educate about the danger of racism. 3. Religious services for the Jewish population of the West Midlands.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received 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?
  • Why is the Board completely male?
  • Why is the Board composition very 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
