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;[7] 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.[8][9][10][11] 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.[12]
  • Examination report. The independent examiner's report, signed by Sara Herstik as "Reporting Accountant", is headed for the year ended 31 December 2024 but reports on the statements "for the Year Ended 31 December 2023"; it does not state the examiner's membership of a listed professional body, although income exceeded £250,000 (PDF p.9).[2]
  • Constitution described inconsistently. The report says the charity was "constituted by Trust Deed" although it is registered as a CIO (PDF p.4).[2][1]
  • Unnamed recipients. No recipient of the £547,276 given is named, and Israel is not mentioned (PDF p.6).[2] Trustees March and Padwa are also recorded as trustees of Keren Ezra Mimeitzar (1119650).[1]
