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;[10] 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.[11][12][13][14] 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.[15]
  • Unnamed group undertaking. The balance sheet carries shares in group undertakings of £296,250, but the undertaking is not named (PDF p.7, 10).[2]
  • Trustee-linked donations and grants. Donations of £124,200 came from trustees, and grants of £14,750 went to charities with common trustees (PDF p.11).[2]

Sanctions screening

The charity's name, its current register trustees, trustees named on archived register pages, trustees and officers named in the accounts read for this profile and (for charitable companies) its Companies House officers were screened against the UK Sanctions List and the OFSI Consolidated List. No match was found. Viatcheslav Moshe Kantor (UK sanctions ID RUS1127) does not appear among this charity's trustees or officers.[20]

Land and property

The register records that the charity owns and/or leases land or property.[1] No title registers were purchased; the HM Land Registry interactive search blocked automated access.[21] Candidate titles and addresses (CCOD dataset and register/accounts data):[22]

  • Investment property £700,000 at 31 March 2026 after refurbishment (additions £74,757) and revaluation; address not stated – Accounts (PDF p.3, 10) (source: [2])
  • land and buildings on the South side of Shepherds Hill, Hornsey, London (title MX477931, freehold; proprietor added 01/02/2005) – CCOD match on the charity's own company number 00750459 (proprietor SHELLIX COMPANY LIMITED) (source: [22])
  • land and buildings adjoining 35 and 36 Coldcotes Circus, Leeds (LS9 6QQ) (title WYK203117, freehold; proprietor added 25/06/1980) – Name-only CCOD match: proprietor recorded as "SHELLIX COMPANY LIMITED" with no company number (proprietor added 1980); probably the charity, which has used both names, but not verified against a title register (source: [22])
