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]

The charity received £19,880 from charities with common trustees and owed £32,601 to such charities at the year end; they are not named.[2] Trustee S Tambur is also a director of Kollel Torah Ve Yirah Limited (1125997), whose accounts are prepared by the same independent examiner.[1][2]
