THE LIBERAL SYNAGOGUE ELSTREE

The synagogue promotes Liberal Judaism, for the benefit of the public good. It does so by providing a place of worship; conducting religious ceremonies; raising awareness of religious beliefs and practices; providing pastoral care and outreach; promoting interfaith activities; and educating people about and generally advancing the religion.
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 dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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