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;[11] 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.[12][13][14][15] 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.[16]
  • Late filing. The register shows the 2024/25 accounts as received 33 days late.[1]
  • Trustee and family loans. The related-party note lists concessionary loans from Antony and Loretta Hodari of £31,968 (2024: £23,968), interest-free with no security or repayment dates, and an interest-free loan of £3,500 to Max McFarquhar, described as "Brother of Trustee" (note 28).[2]
  • Grants table misplaced. The grants note leaves this year's table blank and lists under "last year" grants totalling £5,463 – the current year's figure – to a "local chairty" (£1,148) and the Manchester Congregation of Spanish and Portuguese Jews (£4,315) (note 13).[2]
