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]
  • Unnamed recipients. Charitable donations of £478,116 (2024: £847,940) are given as a single figure; no recipient is named and Israel is not mentioned (PDF p.10–11).[2]
  • Unnamed related undertakings. Debtors include £133,440 "owed by undertakings in which the charity has a participating interest", and creditors £50,000 owed to such undertakings; the undertakings are not named (PDF p.11).[2]
  • Inconsistent comparative. Note 12 shows 2024 net assets of £36,010, against £39,470 elsewhere in the accounts (PDF p.12).[2]
  • Links. S Friedman is also recorded as a trustee of The Ruzin Sadagora Trust (285475) and North London Charities (312740).[1] Ahavath Chessed Charitable Association lists a £10,000 donation in the year to March 2025 to "Mosart Trust" among grants "to charities where the Trustees are family members with the Trustees in this family".[16]
