Controversies and regulatory action

  • No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[10] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[11][12][13][14] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[15]
  • Inconsistent grant figures. The report says donations to Bayit Lepletot "totaled £557k (2024: £458k)", but note 5 gives grants of £648,880 (2024: £519,619) (PDF p.4, 13).[2]
  • Land record inconsistency. The register records that the charity owns or leases land or property,[1] but the accounts list only two bank accounts as its investments (PDF p.5).[2]

Sanctions screening

The charity's name, its current register trustees, trustees named on archived register pages, trustees and officers named in the accounts read for this profile and (for charitable companies) its Companies House officers were screened against the UK Sanctions List and the OFSI Consolidated List. No match was found. Viatcheslav Moshe Kantor (UK sanctions ID RUS1127) does not appear among this charity's trustees or officers.[20]

Land and property

The register records that the charity owns and/or leases land or property.[1] No title registers were purchased; the HM Land Registry interactive search blocked automated access.[21] Candidate titles and addresses (CCOD dataset and register/accounts data):[22]

  • No property is identified – The register records land or property, but the accounts list only two bank accounts as investments (PDF p.5); the trust is unincorporated, so no CCOD company match is possible (source: accounts)
