BRIGHTON & HOVE REFORM SYNAGOGUE

The Synagogue provides varied services for its members, offers social/pastoral contact for those in need, and a full programme of religious services. Its building is used for religious, educational and charitable activities. Members work voluntarily with staff to organise activities. We are affiliated to other Jewish organisations including the Movement for Reform Judaism

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests 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
Income has been volatile recently

Established: 10 years
