Funding in Israel

  • FY2025 named grants: Achisomoch £266,000; Chevras Mo'os Lodol £32,200; Bait Limud Vchesed £30,720; AV Trust £29,360; One Heart Lev Echod £27,000; JTLV £24,372; Kollel Hakol £24,100; BEFORE Trust £21,500; Beth Mifalei £19,464; GGBH £16,490; NWL Jewish Day School £15,000; Chevras Ezras Nizrochim £14,200; Toldos Aharon £13,000; Mifal Hachesed Veh £12,000; Chabad Israeli CTR £11,900. In 2024: Beit Hamidrash Abarbanel Ashdod £191,500.[2]

Israeli partners

Israeli-named recipients include Beit Hamidrash Abarbanel Ashdod (2024) and Yeshivat Chochmat Shlomo and "Yeshivat Shavei" (2024, £10,000 and £10,400).[2]

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
"Yeshivat Shavei" (2024, £10,400) is named in truncated form without a location, so its site cannot be determined. No settlement is named.[2] Low – name only, incomplete

Support for the IDF: No IDF 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;[18] 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.[19][20][21][22] 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.[23]
  • Grant recipients named in the cheque-cashing class inquiry. Trumros granted One Heart Lev Echod £27,000 (2024: £57,200). One Heart – Lev Echod (1167227) is one of the charities the Commission placed under inquiry in May 2025.[2][19] Trumros also gave "Mercaz HaTorah Belz Machnovka" £32,500 in 2024 and "Mifal Hachesed Veh" £12,000 in 2025. These are similar to the inquiry names Friends of Mercaz Hatorah Belz Macnivka (1126075) and Mifal Hachesed Vehatzedokoh (1139320), but no charity numbers are given, so the matches are not established. In 2024 it also gave £40,000 to "Friends of Beis Chinuch Lebonos", and it gave "Chevras Ezras Nizrochim" £14,200 in 2025 (2024: £40,000) (PDF p.20); the trustees' report describes £7,000 of the 2025 sum as paid to "Chevras Ezras Nitzrochim" (PDF p.5).[2] These resemble Friends of Beis Chinuch Lebonos Trust (1153187), named in May 2025,[19] and The Chevras Ezras Nitzrochim Trust (275352), named in December 2025;[21] again the matches are by name only. The releases state no finding about Trumros.
