THE HAMPSTEAD VILLAGE SHUL

The principal activity of the Charity is that of a community centre and synagogue.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity has a robust balance sheet
There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Why are there only 4 trustees?
Why is the Board completely male?
Why is the Board composition very static and has little diversity in terms of age?

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £1,695,666 available, equivalent to 39 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
