Funding in Israel

  • No spending in Israel is identified; the accounts do not mention Israel or say where the named grantees work, and state there are "no investment assets outside the UK" (PDF p.4, 10, 12).[3]

Israeli partners

No Israeli partner is named. The register lists Israel and the United States among the charity's areas of operation.[3][4]

Activity beyond the Green Line and support for the IDF

Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.

Evidence of activity beyond the 1949 armistice line
Finding Confidence

Support for the IDF: No IDF or military funding is stated.[3]

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;[12] 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.[13][14][15][16] 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.[17]
  • Unexplained creditor and loans. The balance sheet shows investments in property syndicates of £631,272 against creditors due within a year of £311,241, including "other creditors" of £298,181 (unchanged from 2024 and not explained), plus bank loans of £22,965 due after more than a year and a Bounce Back Loan balance of £2,485 (PDF p.7, 12).[3]
  • Connected donations. Note 15 records "an unrestricted donation of £12,500 ... from a trustee and £10,000 from a company in which a trustee has an interest", without naming them (PDF p.14).[3]
  • Wrong year. The trustees' report presents the accounts "for the year ended 31 March 2021", although they are for the year to 31 May 2025 (PDF p.4).[3]

No match was found.[22]

Land and property

The register records that the charity owns and/or leases land or property.[4] No title registers were purchased; the HM Land Registry interactive search blocked automated access.[23] Candidate titles and addresses (CCOD dataset and register/accounts data):[24]

  • Investments in property syndicates of £631,272 (2024: £628,916), with additions of £39,677; "no investment assets outside the UK"; addresses not stated – Accounts (PDF p.7, 12) (source: [3])
  • Leasehold property, Two Trees Lane, Denton M34 (title GM86072, leasehold; proprietor added 28/09/2005) – CCOD record carrying the charity's company number (03778491) but a different proprietor name, Wallmoor Developments Limited; no company of that name was found at Companies House, so the record may be a data error and the link is not confirmed; unconfirmed candidate only (source: [24])
