- David Klein, who is also a trustee of Friends of Sanz Institutions (328498) and Round Island Ltd (1151474).
- Chaim Intrater, with no other trusteeships on record.

Dynasty link
The link to Sanz-Klausenburg rests on the following register entries:
- The charity's working name is Kollel Sanz.[1]
- Its address, 124 Stamford Hill, London N16 6QT, is the address that the register gives for Friends of Sanz Institutions.[1][2]
- Its trustee David Klein is also a trustee of Friends of Sanz Institutions.[1][2]
The register itself does not name a rebbe or a dynasty. The Sanz name is also borne by other descendants of the Sanz line, so the link is drawn from the name and the shared address and trustee, not from a statement by the charity.
