Controversies and regulatory action

  • No Charity Commission inquiry naming this charity was found; it is not named in the 2025–2026 cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements or statement of results, and the charities in the August 2026 settlements class inquiry have not been named.[5][6][7][8][9] The register shows it as removed, giving the reason "Ceased to exist".[2]
  • Removed three years after dissolution. The company was dissolved on 14 April 2015 but the charity remained on the register until 22 August 2018; its last accounts filed at Companies House were for 2012.[3][1]
  • Property still recorded in its name. The Land Registry's company-ownership dataset still records "Friends of Reb Sender Dominitz" as proprietor of a leasehold flat in Dover and a garage in Waltham Cross (proprietor added 2010), although the company was dissolved in 2015; the titles have not been checked.[10][3]

  • Garage, Harold Court, Holdbrook South, Waltham Cross (title HD187104, leasehold; proprietor added 03/03/2010) – Name-only CCOD match: proprietor recorded as "FRIENDS OF REB SENDER DOMINITZ" with no company number (proprietor added 2010); probably the charity, which was dissolved as a company in 2015, but not verified against a title register (source: [10])
