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]
  • Unexplained debtors. Other debtors of £1,063,411, unchanged from 2024, make up most of the charity's funds; the accounts do not explain them (PDF p.16).[2]
  • Property disclosures conflict. The report says "The charity rents a building for use as a Synagogue and community centre and has an option to purchase it", while the balance sheet carries freehold property at a cost of £120,272 (PDF p.6, 16).[2]
  • Loans to the chair's companies. H Stolzberg is a director of Bruche Estates and of H & JK Investments Ltd, which have interest-free loans from the charity with £4,000 and £15,000 outstanding (PDF p.17).[2]
  • Inconsistent comparatives. The report gives 2024 other income of £9,000; the statement of financial activities shows £4,500 (PDF p.6, 9).[2] The report also states there are "no policies for the induction or training of new trustees" (PDF p.4).[2]
