We are charged with ensuring that all of Tzedek's activities accord with our charitable objects:
- To provide direct support to small-scale, self-help, sustainable development projects.
- To educate people, particularly in the Jewish community, about the causes and effects of poverty and the Jewish obligation to respond.
In furthering these objects the Board has established three subcommittees on whose voluntary members we greatly rely for the advancement of our charitable objects:
the Overseas Projects Group receives and evaluates applications for grant aid, and monitors projects we have chosen to support. The Volunteer Programmes Group organises overseas work opportunities. The Education Programmes Group raises awareness of poverty-relief development issues and manages Tzedek’s campaigning activities. In addition a part-time consultant Development Officer works with Tzedek to support and co-ordinate the activities of the subcommittees while liaising between them and the Board.
As at 31st March 2006 the following were members of the Board: Clive Lawton, Steve Miller, Justin Philips, Ian Rosmarin, Katie Schenk, Peter Scholl, Karin Shmueli
We are pleased that the Board includes two graduates of our overseas volunteer programmes.
