Israeli partners

Kupath Ramban (Kupath Rabbi Meir Baal Haness Kollel Polin), whose Israel office is at 40 Strauss Street, Jerusalem, "the Heart of Geula"; its website lists the London office as "COLEL POLEN KUPATH RAMBAN 479 Holloway Road London, N7 6le", matching the charity's register postcode.[19]

Activity beyond the Green Line and support for the IDF

Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.

Evidence of activity beyond the 1949 armistice line
Finding Confidence
Kupath Ramban's Israel office is in Geula, central Jerusalem, west of the 1949 armistice line.[19] Low – Geula, Jerusalem

Support for the IDF: No IDF or military funding is stated.[2]

Controversies and regulatory action

  • No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[20] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[21][22][23][24] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[25]
  • High fundraising costs. Costs of raising funds rose to £103,296, 27% of donations (PDF p.7).[2]
