THE NEW LONDON SYNAGOGUE 

House of worship, social and educational centre servicing the Jewish religion.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £2,895,536 available, equivalent to 49 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 14 years
