North West London Chevra Kadisha is a charity on the register of the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1041909). It acts as a chevra kadisha, caring for the dying and the dead, and it also relieves poverty by making interest-free personal loans.[1] One of its two trustees is also a trustee of Friends of Mosdos Sanz of Safad, a charity that supports institutions of the Sanz-Klausenburg dynasty. That is the only dynasty link found on the register.
Registration
The charity was registered on 8 November 1994. Its constitution was adopted on 31 October 1994. Its address is 10 Limes Avenue, London NW11 9TJ. It is not recognised by HMRC for gift aid, and its reporting is up to date.[1]
Objects and activities
Its objects are the advancement of religion by performing chessed shel emes (loving kindness) to the dying and the dead, and the relief of poverty, in particular by making interest-free personal loans to people in need. The register spells the Hebrew term "emer" in the objects and "emess" in the activity summary. It classes the charity's work as relief of poverty and religious activities. The charity makes grants to individuals and provides services to people of a particular ethnic or racial origin throughout London. It reports two trustees and 20 volunteers.[1]

Dynasty link
