“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Subsidiaries
- The Jewish News Ltd · 100% held · England and Wales · produces publications and maintains a news-based website, in line with the parent charity's charitable purposes.
Significant events
- “The levels of support required over the course of 2024 to maintain the Jewish News as an independent, charity-owned source of agenda-free news, information and 'connection' for the Jewish community in Britain have remained high, largely due to the impact of the tragic events of 7th October 2023 and its aftermath.”
- “In early 2025, we held our first major fundraising event since The Jacob Foundation took ownership of The Jewish News in 2020. Our Media and More lunch featuring Stephen Fry in conversation with first JN ambassador, Robert Peston, exceeded our expectations both in terms of cementing awareness of the Foundation and its charitable purpose and in the sum raised.”
- “The Jewish News' website traffic has increased by around 20 percent year on year. To build on this, the updated Jewish News website (with improved search function, stickability and navigation) will go live during Q4 2025.”
