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;[19] 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.[20][21][22][23] 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.[24]
  • Related-party balances. Localtrent Limited owes the charity £46,821 and Ardina Ltd £16,000, interest-free; both are charities of which this charity's trustees are also trustees. S Weiss donated a £47,768 loan, and J L Weiss is a trustee of Ridgesave Limited, which received £20,800 (PDF p.15).[2][25]
  • Grants to inquiry-named charities. FY2024 grants included £6,100 to Friends of Mercaz Hatorah Belz Macnivka – the exact name of a charity (1126075) placed under the cheque-cashing class inquiry in May 2025 – and £5,000 to "Mifal Chesed Vehatzdokoh", similar to Mifal Hachesed Vehatzedokoh (1139320), also named in May 2025; no charity numbers are given, so the identifications are not confirmed (PDF p.12).[2][20]
  • Contradictory examiner's report. The independent examiner's report is headed as if a matter of concern had been identified, but its text reports no concerns (PDF p.6).[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.[30]

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.[31] Candidate titles and addresses (CCOD dataset and register/accounts data):[32]

  • Interests in joint property syndicates (investments £1,125,784 at 31 March 2025; surplus £241,376 in the year); addresses and title-holders not stated – Accounts (PDF p.4, 8, 14); the register records that the charity owns and/or leases land; the trust is unincorporated, so no CCOD company match is possible for the charity itself (source: accounts)
  • 7 Stanley Road, Salford (M7 4EG) (title LA9338, freehold; proprietor added 20/06/2011, price paid £98,000) – 1 title registered to Localtrent Limited (01671900; registered charity 326329), which owes the charity £46,821 interest-free and shares its trustees; property of that charity, not of this one (source: [32][25])
