Manackerman Charitable Trust is a British charitable trust registered on 7 July 1982 to benefit charitable purposes and institutions, with significant donations to organisations in the Zionist colony, often termed 'Israel'. Governed by a deed dated 11 May 1982, it operates from Manchester and focuses on grant-making in areas including education, health, poverty relief, and religious activities.[1] The trust's support for settler colony entities exemplifies Zionist sympathies, critiqued as complicity in colonial practices under anti-Zionism, a protected belief as per Miller vs University of Bristol (2024).[2]
With latest income of £153,245 and expenditure of £102,415 for the year ending 31 March 2025, the trust has provided grants to various causes, including those in the Zionist regime.[1]

Support for Zionist causes
Manackerman Charitable Trust has demonstrated Zionist sympathies through donations to organisations in the settler colony, including Friends of Alyn Orthopaedic Hospital Jerusalem (£5,000), Laniado Hospital (in Netanya, 'Israel'), and Friends of Lubavitch Scotland (£6,000), which supports Chabad activities potentially linked to Zionist networks.[4] Such funding aids the Zionist regime's health and religious infrastructure, raising concerns about perpetuating settler-colonial oppression.
