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;[6] 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.[7][8][9][10] 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.[11]
- Grant to a charity under inquiry. FY2025 grants include £5,250 to Vyoel Moshe Charitable Trust,[2] a charity (327054) placed under the cheque-cashing class inquiry in September 2025.[8] The release makes no finding about PPC Trust.
