BETH SHALOM LIMITED 

The charity runs an education centre (the National Holocaust Centre & Museum) providing an opportunity for schoolchildren, professionals, groups working in local communities and the public to examine, learn and apply the lessons for humanity from the events of the Holocaust and contemporary acts of injustice. The gardens provide a place for reflection and memorial for survivors and relatives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appeared to be in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Established: 45 years
