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]
  • Payments to a trustee-linked company. "c£2.02m was paid to support the activities of Kol Torah Limited (of which Mr Levine is a director) and its extensive Kol Haloshon programme of lectures and educational material made available by telephony and other means".[2]
  • Borrowing. A bank loan refinanced in July 2025 (£2,925,708 due after more than one year) is secured on investment property; a deferred tax provision of £2,694,694 is shown.[2]
