Yeshivas Lubavitch Manchester is a registered charity (number 513728) at 62 Singleton Road, Salford M7 4LU, in the Chabad-Lubavitch movement's community in Greater Manchester.[1][2] It is constituted by a declaration of trust dated 17 March 1983, and its stated object is "the advancement of Jewish religion and education by the establishment of a college of learning".[3] Its accounts say the strategy used to achieve this is "to provide a building for a local Jewish School".[4]
The Charity Commission register records the charity under this name.[1]
In the year to 30 September 2025 the charity reported income of £141,872, of which £140,000 was income from investment properties, and expenditure of £163,083, including a £140,000 grant to "OYY Girls School" (probably Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch School; see below).[4][5] The register records its accounts for four of the last five years as filed between 331 and 719 days late.[6]
History
The register records the charity as registered on 8 April 1983, under a declaration of trust dated 17 March 1983.[1][3] It has no company number.[7] The register shows that the charity holds land.[7]
The trustees' report for 2025 records, as an event after the reporting period, that "the trustees have elected to transfer one of the properties to a different charity", which was "expected to take place later in 2026".[4]
Properties and grants
The accounts show a single class of fixed asset, freehold property, held at a cost of £2,289,091 and a carrying amount of £2,174,636 at 30 September 2025, after depreciation at 1 per cent a year.[4] Income from investment properties was £140,000 in both 2025 and 2024.[4] The notes list one grant to an institution in each of the years 2022 to 2025, £140,000 to OYY Girls School.[4][8]
The accounts do not give the recipient's full name or charity number. The name "OYY" matches the girls' school at 460 Bury New Road, Salford, listed by the Department for Education as Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch School, which is run by the registered charity Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch Schools (number 1168395); that identification is an inference from the name.[4]

The register lists three trustees.[9]

The accounts for each year from 2022 to 2025 state that there were no related party transactions in the reporting period.[4][8] The register shows David Michael Hickson as also a trustee of Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch Schools and OYY Lubavitch Boys School, among other bodies.[9] The register shows Gary Glickman as also a trustee of Beis Menachem Chabad Lubavitch.
