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;[9] 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.[10][11][12][13] 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.[14]
  • Outdated framework and inconsistencies. The report says "There are three trustees, all residents in England" but names two, and the report and examiner's statement cite the Charities Act 1993, the FRSSE (effective January 2006) and SORP 2005, all superseded (PDF p.3–5, 8).[2]
  • No recipients named. No part of the £80,447 of charitable spending is attributed to a recipient, although Israel is one of the register areas (PDF p.9).[2][1]
