The Bersam Trust
- On 29 September 2016 the trustees of the charity leased the school premises for a period of 24 years to Talmud Torah Chinuch Neorim (registered company number 09255139).[1]
Charity Commission inquiry
- The inquiry obtained and examined a copy of the lease. The inquiry found that the party entering the lease is named as the charity (however, the charity itself is a trust and has no legal personality); the company was dormant at the time the lease was granted; and at the time of entering into the lease, three of the four directors of the company were also trustees of the charity. These were the only trustees of the charity at that time and it was not possible for them to manage the conflict of interest arising in this transaction.[2]
