Noam Halvovos (charity number 1165816) is an English charitable trust established by deed dated 6 February 2014 and registered with the Charity Commission on 1 March 2016. Published activity is “helping out people with their basic daily needs”. The main way of carrying out purposes is grant making. It operates throughout London and in Israel. Reporting is up to date. The Commission has opened an inquiry into the charity as part of the class investigation of charities connected to a company cashing cheques.[1]
Income was much higher in 2021–23 (peak £632,570 in the year to 31 March 2021, when almost all spending was grants to institutions) and then fell below the accounts threshold. Accounts and a trustees’ annual report were not required for 2024 or 2025. The 2020 return was 358 days late; later returns were on time.[1]
Civil Society and Charity Times named Noam Halvovos among 12 charities added in December 2025 to the statutory class inquiry into 105 charities that issued cheques cashed through a Hackney company between December 2021 and March 2023 (aggregate about £22 million).[2][3]
