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]
  • Accounts defects. Total expenditure is printed as £269,266, although the lines sum to £369,266 (the register figure); the 12-page PDF on the register omits the notes on charitable activities and grants that the accounts refer to (PDF p.8, 12).[2]
  • Charitable loans. The trustees' report describes charitable loans and states that "To date, the Charity has not had to write off any loans" (PDF p.5–6).[2]

No match was found. Viatcheslav Moshe Kantor (UK sanctions ID RUS1127) does not appear among this charity's trustees or officers.[19]

Land and property

The register records that the charity owns and/or leases land or property.[1] No title registers were purchased; the HM Land Registry interactive search blocked automated access.[20] Candidate titles and addresses (CCOD dataset and register/accounts data):[21]

  • Portfolio of residential investment properties (£2,893,512 at 30 September 2025); addresses not stated – Accounts (PDF p.4, 9); the trust is unincorporated, so no CCOD company match is possible (a CCOD name hit for NADVORNE ESTATES LTD, 14379083, has no officer in common with the trustees and was excluded) (source: accounts)

Parliament

Hansard exact-phrase searches for "Beis Nadvorne", "Nadvorne" returned 0 contributions in total.[22]
