The KKL (Scotland) Charitable Trust trades as JNF KKL Scotland and raises money in Scotland for Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL Israel). Its accounts say: "All funds raised are donated to KKL Israel for projects selected by the trustees."[2] KKL Israel "is one of the two founding members, and remains a corporate member" of the charity, and the trustees regard it as a related party.[3] In the year to 31 March 2025 the charity sent £1,680,000 to KKL Israel. This included two anonymous restricted donations of £1,500,000 and £100,000 "for specific KKL projects in Israel", which went on "emergency aid and the rebuilding of Kibbutz Sufa" in southern Israel.[4] In 2025-26 it remitted £40,000. Half of this went to the Kibbutz Sufa project, and half to "planting a forest near the site of the Nova Music festival".[5]

The KKL (Scotland) Charitable Trust (Company number SC316740) was incorporated on 16 February 2007. [6]

The charitable form succeeded earlier incarnations of the Scottish branch of the London based JNF UK. From around 1935 when it opened its first office in Glasgow it was known as the Glasgow Commission of the Jewish National Fund.

Address: 222 Fenwick Road, Giffnock, Glasgow G46 6UE

Regulatory Type: Standard Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL Israel) is a corporate member of the charity.[3] The objectives include the "relief of poverty", "advancement of education", "advancement of environmental protection or improvement." It also supports the Israel-based "charitable projects of Keren Kayemeth Leisrael (KKL Israel) which are dedicated to developing the land of Israel.” [7]

History

The Jewish National Fund was created in 1901 at the Fifth Zionist congress in Basel, Switzerland. It is reported that a Glasgow committee of the JNF was created in the same year. Other sources state that the Glasgow JNF was meeting as early as 1911. The organisation opened its first office in Glasgow in 1935 and was known as the Glasgow Commission of the Jewish National Fund.

The Jewish Chronicle reported:

But the club strongly opposed the calls for a demonstration. Its spokesman, Iain Jamieson, said: “Celtic Football Club believes in football as a powerful medium for social integration. Celtic has always been a club for all people, regardless of gender, age, religion, race, politics or ability. We therefore believe Celtic Park is no place for a political demonstration”.
Outside the ground on Wednesday night around 60 volunteers from STUC and SPSC tried to hand out rolled-up Palestinian flags and anti-Israel material to supporters. But each campaigner was immediately surrounded by a large crowd, furiously debating the issue, with many fans shouting: “We don’t want you here.”
Match stewards approached the campaigners telling them to stop handing out flags and fliers on Celtic FC property.
Some flags were taken inside, though not anywhere near what the organisers had hoped. More than 300 Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters, with a dedicated high security presence, flew Israeli flags and banners.
At the end of the match a campaigner tried to run on to the pitch with a Palestinian flag. He was quickly escorted away by police, and booed by Celtic fans.
Steven Purcell, leader of Glasgow City Council, wrote to the STUC to express his “disgust” at their using a football match for political purposes.
David Links, a trustee of JNF/KKL Scotland, which hosted a reception for the Hapoel team and Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor at Celtic Park, is a long-time Celtic fan. He said: “I think it is totally wrong for the STUC to be involved in a football match. I feel disappointed at the fans who did pick up flags. There could have been serious aggravation here.”
Celtic fan Alan Levy said: “It was disgraceful to see campaigners handing out the flags. People didn’t even understand what they meant, and it was very worrying to see people accepting them.”
Israeli ambassador Mr Prosor said: “Sport prevailed over politics. Since Hapoel were originally a team based on the Israeli unions, it seems ironic that people demonstrated against them.”[12]

2010 Pro-Am golf tournament

Almost 130 golfers were attracted to the JNF KKL Scotland Pro-am tournament at Glasgow’s Bonnyton Golf Club. The event raised £25,000 for a park in the Negev community of Mercaz-Shapira. The Glasgow Hilton Hotel was the main sponsor.

Relations with JNF UK - 2007-2019

According to the Jewish Chronicle:

JNF UK this week announced a new agreement to support Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael in Jerusalem, finally putting their costly legal dispute behind them. In a deal reached in Jerusalem, JNF UK agreed to fundraise for KKL projects in Israel, while retaining freedom to support additional causes of its own choice in Israel. JNF UK, which will remain an independent charity, will be able to use both the JNF and KKL logos in the UK under licence from the KKL, while KKL will refrain from operating its own branch here. KKL Scotland - which broke away from JNF UK two years ago - will return to the JNF fold as a subsidiary.
Three years ago, KKL announced it was setting up its own British office, unleashing a legal conflict over the right to use the names JNF and Jewish National Fund in the UK that cost the two organisations around £4 million. The two sides formally announced the end of hostilities in January this year. Samuel Hayek, who was appointed the new chairman of JNF UK, said: "I am delighted to have been able successfully to resolve all disputes between JNF UK and KKL. It is particularly pleasing to conclude on such a positive note as we look forward to Rosh Hashanah." He added: "Now we can all turn our attention to our primary goal of fundraising more effectively for those projects in Israel that JNF UK and its donors are so passionate about, especially the enormous challenge of the redevelopment of the Negev."[14]

The Jewish Telegraph reported:

The 12-year-long strained relationship between JNF KKL Scotland and JNF UK has thawed following a mini-conference in Glasgow this week. Before 2007 there were offices of the Jewish National Fund in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, as well as Glasgow and Dublin. London decided to close the three provincial JNF offices. Dublin remained part of the family and Scotland became independent and changed its name to JNF KKL Scotland, raising funds exclusively for Keren Kayemet L’Israel. JNF KKL Scotland president Stanley Lovatt arranged the mini-conference, attended by representatives of JNF from Israel, London and Dublin “in an effort to ensure that in future everyone works together to raise funds for Israel”. The result was an agreement that Glasgow, Dublin and London would work together on various JNF projects and cooperate on joint events. JNF UK CEO Yonatan Galon said: “It was a real pleasure to visit Scotland and strengthen the friendship with our JNF cousins. “All members of the global JNF family are reunited in our shared commitment to building the future of Israel.” Mr Lovatt added: “I am delighted that after a huge gap in communication we will be working together with our colleagues in London and Ireland for the benefit of our worldwide organisation that was established in 1901. “I am looking forward to planning joint events in similar fashion to the celebrity dinners that we have held over the past few years.[15]

Years are financial years ending 31 March.[1][21] Expenditure reported to OSCR was £120,187 (2022), £77,049 (2023), £102,375 (2024), £1,724,044 (2025) and £76,175 (2026).[1]

Memorial candles at the site of the Nova festival massacre, June 2024 (Shlomo Rod, PikiWiki Israel, CC BY 2.5)

The accounts for the year to 31 March 2026 give the trading name as "JNF KKL Scotland". They say the charity was incorporated on 16 February 2007, "commenced operations on 19 April 2007" and was registered with OSCR on 20 February 2007.[2] The report states: "All funds raised are donated to KKL Israel for projects selected by the trustees." The accounts also say the trustees regard Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL Israel) "as a related party due to its status as a member of the company and also as recipient for funds remitted to Israel".[2]

2024-25: £1.6 million restricted. Income in the year to 31 March 2025 was £1,719,989. Of this, £1,703,355 came from donations and appeals (including £17,062 in legacies), £16,028 from events (a Euro 24 football sweepstake, £9,600, and diary advertising, £6,428) and £606 from bank interest.[22][23] The £1,600,000 of restricted income came from two anonymous donations: "In the second half of the financial year the company received two donations of £1,500,000 and £100,000 respectively for specific KKL projects in Israel. These were both designated as restricted funds and were remitted in their entirety to KKL Israel before the year end. Both donors wish to remain anonymous".[22] The restricted "KKL Israel funds" are described as "funds received which related to projects conducted by KKL Israel in Southern Israel funding emergency aid and the rebuilding of Kibbutz Sufa".[24] Total remittances to KKL Israel that year were £1,680,000 (2024: £70,000).[21][2][1]

  • Kibbutz Sufa: "the charity focussed the 2024 Green Sunday appeal on the restoration work required at Kibbutz Sufa where tragically a former Glaswegian was murdered in the 7 October attacks. £30,000 was remitted to KKL Israel prior to the end of March '24 for this project and in 2024/25 a further £80,000 was remitted for this project".[22]
  • Related parties: "The charity received donations of £100,000 from related parties in the year (2024: £Nil)." The accounts do not name the related parties. They also say that no donations were received from trustees.[25]
  • Spending and audit: other expenses totalled £44,044, including payroll of £12,772 (the register records one member of staff). Because income passed £500,000 the charity needed an audit that year ("as a consequence of exceeding the charity income threshold of £500,000"); the audit fee was £7,200 and the auditor was Wbg (Audit) Limited, 168 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4TP.[21][22][26]

2025-26: Kibbutz Sufa and the Nova site. Income was £73,454, made up of donations of £68,125, diary advertising of £5,055 and bank interest of £274. There were no restricted donations and no legacies.[27] Remittances to KKL Israel were £40,000: "Of this, £nil (2025: £1,600,000) was in respect of restricted funds."[28] The report says:

  • "the charity was focussed on raising funds for the restoration work required at Kibbutz Sufa where tragically a former Glaswegian was murdered in the 7 October attack. A total of £20,000 was remitted to KKL Israel in the year for this project which is now complete";
  • "A further £20,000 was remitted in March 2026 from the proceeds of Green Sunday '26 towards planting a forest near the site of the Nova Music festival".[2]

Kibbutz Sufa and the Nova festival site are both in the western Negev, inside the 1949 armistice line. No activity beyond the line or support for the IDF is stated in the 2025-26 accounts.[2]

Other activity included the Green Sunday telethon, tree certificates, blue boxes, a New Year diary and appeal, and in 2024-25 a Euro 2024 sweepstake that "generated a surplus in excess of £5,000".[2] The trustees planned to "run a football sweepstake based around the 2026 World Cup".[5] Funds at 31 March 2026 were £10,765 (2025: £13,486). The reserves policy is to keep no more than nine months of administrative costs, about £18,000, and "to remit any surplus above this amount to KKL in Israel on a regular basis".[5] The accounts were approved on 11 June 2026 and signed by D Berkley. The independent examiner was Jenna Fair BA (Hons) ACCA of Wbg Services LLP, 168 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4TP; her report is dated 11 June 2026.[2] The accounts were also filed at Companies House on 2 July 2026.[29] Although the accounts were independently examined, not audited, their notes are headed "Notes to the Audited Financial Statements". The investment-income note is also headed "2025" and "2024" instead of 2026 and 2025.[2]


Trustees. The 2025-26 report lists J Vulkan (chairman), D Berkley and S Groundland, with S Lovatt as honorary president.[2] It records "the untimely death of our chairman David Links on 4 June 2025", saying he "worked for over fifty years raising funds for Israel through the JNF KKL movement". Companies House shows his appointments as director and secretary ending on 4 June 2025.[2][30] Samuel Groundland (born November 1965) became a director on 29 October 2025. Gordon Hausmann resigned as a director on 27 October 2024.[30] The 2025 accounts report: "The directors are saddened to report that Mr G Hausmann died on 27 October 2024".[31] Since 9 March 2026 OSCR has published trustee names; in October 2026 the register listed three trustees: Jeffrey Vulkan, Delia Berkley and Samuel Groundland.[1]

Since 6 April 2016 Delia Lynn Berkley has been the only active person with significant control ("Has significant influence or control"). David Samuel Links ceased to be one on 4 June 2025, and Gordon Brian Stephen Hausmann on 27 October 2024. A "Replacement filing of PSC01 for Delia Lynn Berkley" was filed on 9 July 2026.[29][32]

Stanley Lovatt and Delia Berkley are also trustees of the Glasgow Jewish Community Trust on the OSCR register.[33] Delia Berkley was also a director of the Berkley family charity Talteg Limited, which gave money to the KKL Trust in 2018-2022 (see that page). Her fellow Talteg director, Adam Berkley, is listed on the Glasgow Jewish Community Trust page as a former vice-chairman of that trust.
