Chabad Whitefield Limited, also known as Chabad Whitefield, is the legal body behind the Chabad-Lubavitch centre in Whitefield, Greater Manchester, a private company limited by guarantee (company 13460280) and registered charity (number 1198902) with its contact address at 146 Park Lane, Whitefield, Manchester M45 7PX.[1][2] The register says that its purpose is "the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish religion in accordance with the principles of Chabad Lubavitch".[1] The Jewish Chronicle reported on 4 June 2009 that a £250,000 Chabad centre had opened in Whitefield, directed by Rabbi Shmuli Jaffe.[3]
The Charity Commission register records the working name "Chabad Whitefield".[1]
For its most recent year on the register, to 30 November 2024, the charity reported income of £5,202 and expenditure of £402.[4]
History
The Jewish Chronicle reported in 2009 that a one-year refurbishment had transformed a former off-licence into a centre with a Jewish resource library, Judaica store, lounge and multimedia lecture hall, funded by local individuals and some small lottery grants, and that it opened on Lag BaOmer with a community barbecue for 400 people.[3] The present company was incorporated on 16 June 2021 under the name Chabad of Whitefield Ltd, which had changed to Chabad Whitefield Limited by 25 June 2021, and the charity was registered on 11 May 2022.[2][1] An earlier company at the same address, Chabad (Whitefield) Ltd, incorporated on 13 February 2017 and renamed Chabad Whitefield 1 Limited on 23 June 2021, was dissolved on 21 July 2026.[5]
