== History ==
The charity is constituted by a declaration of trust dated 2 May 1995, amended on 2 July 2017, and was registered on 11 May 1995.<ref name="CCGov" /><ref name="CC" /> The register records "Beis Menachem" as a previous name.<ref name="CCNames">Charity Commission for England and Wales, [https://ccewuksprdoneregsadata1.blob.core.windows.net/data/txt/publicextract.charity_other_names.zip Register of Charities public data extract: other names] (extract dated 11 November 2026), accessed 11 November 2026.</ref> It is not a company and has no Companies House record.<ref name="CCExtC">Charity Commission for England and Wales, [https://ccewuksprdoneregsadata1.blob.core.windows.net/data/txt/publicextract.charity.zip Register of Charities public data extract: charity] (extract dated 11 November 2026), accessed 11 November 2026.</ref> The register shows that it holds land.<ref name="CCExtC" />

== Activities and grants ==
The trustees' report for the period to 31 August 2025 says that the grants made during the period "went towards education" for the most part, and uses the term "Mivzoim" for "projects and community activities in line with the objects of the charity". It says the charity's grant policy is to contact "local philanthropists to contribute towards projects that both the trustees and the philanthropists feel are appropriate". It records that "all other office costs are borne by a local benefactor".<ref name="AccBMS2025" /> Expenditure on charitable activities in the period was £694,102, of which "Mivzoim and educational activity" was £640,781 (£448,776 in the year to 31 May 2024).<ref name="AccBMS2025" />

The notes list grants to institutions of £176,415 in the period (£131,726 in the year to 31 May 2024): £126,582 to [[OYY Lubavitch Boys School]], £29,900 to Shir Chesed, £5,180 to an institution recorded as "Chabad Lubavitch", and £14,753 in grants under £2,000; grants to individuals were £11,473 (£112,814).<ref name="AccBMS2025" /> The accounts do not say which charity "Chabad Lubavitch" is.

The accounts of the school for the year to 31 August 2025 record the relationship differently: they list £76,925 (2024: £43,678) as a grant to Beis Menachem Chabad Lubavitch and state that the school "received donations of £78,280 from Beis Menachem Chabad Lubavitch and paid out grants to them of £76,925".<ref name="AccOYY2025">OYY Lubavitch Boys School, ''Unaudited financial statements, year ended 31 August 2025'' (approved 17 June 2026), as filed with the Charity Commission, obtained from the register's [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/5221202/accounts-and-annual-returns accounts and annual returns page], accessed 11 November 2026.</ref> The two sets of accounts cover different periods, and neither explains the difference in direction or amount.

== Governance ==

The register lists three trustees.<ref name="CCTr">Charity Commission for England and Wales, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/1046309/trustees Beis Menachem Chabad Lubavitch (1046309) – trustees] ''Register of Charities'', accessed 11 November 2026.</ref>

The accounts record that "Rabbi Y A Cohen and D Hickson, trustees of the charity, are also trustees of OYY Lubavitch Boys School. During the year, the charity donated £126,582 to OYY Lubavitch Boys School."<ref name="AccBMS2025" /> The register shows Josef Akiva Cohen as also a trustee of [[Chabad Lubavitch in Greater Manchester]], [[OYY Lubavitch Schools|Oholei Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch Schools]] and other charities. The register's entry for David Hickson shows no other trusteeships; the register shows a David Michael Hickson as a trustee of [[Yeshivas Lubavitch Manchester]], and whether the two entries are the same person is an inference from the name.<ref name="CCTr" />
