The Jewish Leadership Council enjoyed a record level of income last year, collecting around £3,479,000 and producing a surplus, having notched up a deficit for the previous year.

The umbrella body for leading charities said 2018 was “dominated” by two “unplanned” activities: the Enough is Enough campaign against antisemitism in the Labour party, and the review into financial allegations against its former chief executive Jeremy Newmark.

An independent inquiry earlier this year criticised the trustee’s financial controls during Mr Newmark’s tenure and found it had incurred £111,734 of “potentially questionable expenditure” in the 15 months before he resigned in 2013.

The Charity Commission has now closed its case on the affair, the accounts stated.
