Esterson Trust is a Scottish registered charity from 23 October 1985. It was set up on the initiative of Amy Rachel Grace Esterson (born 1891 in Newington, Edinburgh).

It is listed as a supporter (Friends and Family Trusts) of the Union of Jewish Students.[2] The same list includes the Sheila and Denis Cohen Charitable Trust, another Scottish trust (SC009930) and a benefactor of the Glasgow Jewish Community Trust.[2] Its published accounts for 2024 to 2026 show no grant to the Union of Jewish Students. The only student-related grant is £1,000 to Jewish Student Chaplaincy Scotland in the year to 5 April 2025.[3]

The trust has been an LLP Designated Member of the Glasgow property firm The Glasgow Property Partnership LLP since 21 October 2002.[4] Its accounts carry its "property share" at £235,265, and that share now provides most of its income.[5]

The Glasgow Property Partnership LLP (SO300150) is a limited liability partnership incorporated on 21 October 2002. Its registered office is Caledonia House, 89 Seaward Street, Glasgow, Scotland, G41 1HJ, which is also the office of Armstrong Watson, the firm whose partner examines the Trust's accounts.[7][5] Companies House shows no nature-of-business (SIC) code for the LLP. Its accounts say its "turnover represents rental income and other recharges" and that its "investment properties are held for long term investment".[8] The Esterson (Charitable) Trust has been an LLP designated member of The Glasgow Property Partnership LLP since its incorporation on 21 October 2002; Companies House gives the trust's correspondence address as Penthouse 1, Sandringham Court, Duart Drive, Newton Mearns, Glasgow, Scotland, G77 5DT.[4] The Goldberg Family Charitable Trust was a designated member from the same date until 30 November 2015.[4] The trust's accounts for the years to 5 April 2022, 2023 and 2024 were examined by Martin Aitken & Co Ltd, Chartered Accountants, from the same address, Caledonia House, 89 Seaward Street, Glasgow G41 1HJ.[9][10][11][7] The trust's 2020–21 cash book records receipts from "MARTIN AITKEN AND CO, GPP acct" of £4,643 in September 2020, November 2020 and January 2021.[12]

Its latest accounts, "Total exemption full accounts made up to 5 April 2026", were filed on 8 September 2026 and signed on 2 September 2026 by E Mandel, designated member. They show a freehold investment property valued at £2,306,428, unchanged from 2025 and valued by the members, "who are not professionally qualified valuers". Other figures are cash of £214,731 (2025: £89,895), amounts due to members of £202,151 (2025: £66,143), members' capital of £2,300,438 and net assets of £2,502,589. The LLP has no employees.[8]

Note: The years are years ending 5 April. The 2025 and 2026 figures come from note 4 of each year's accounts, and the 2024 figures are the comparatives in the 2025 accounts, which agree with the 2024 column first entered here; the 2024 to 2026 columns add up to the totals in the accounts (£22,250, £14,600 and £2,850).[3][17] The 2026 accounts note: "S D Siegel is a Trustee of Garnethill Hebrew Congregation and Scottish Jewish Heritage Centre."[3] In the 2025 accounts the matching note, "... are Trustees of Garnethill Synagogue Preservation Trust", has the names redacted.[17] The trustees explained the fall to £2,850 in 2026 as "due to the nature of the income being paid out by the Trust's property investment".[18]

Loans and transfers

The accounts for the year to 5 April 2018 record a "Loan to Cosgrove Care" of £10,000 among payments, and those for the year to 5 April 2019 record "Loan to Cosgrove Care repayment" of £10,000 among receipts.[19] Cosgrove Care is a Glasgow charity of which one of the trustees is also a trustee.[9]

The trust's 2020–21 cash book records, on 30 October 2020, £10,000 received from "THE ESTERSON TRUST, J AND SD CHAR" and £10,000 paid to "ESTERSON TRUST, J SD CHAR", that is, transfers each way with the John & Suzanne Dover Charitable Trust. On 2 November 2020 it records two payments of £10,000 to Cosgrove Care, one referenced "J S DOVER" and one referenced to the Esterson Trust.[12] The summary for that year shows "Loan received less repaid £4,000".[12]

Charitable Objectives

Deed of trust

The present trust was constituted by a deed of trust subscribed by its two original trustees (names redacted in the copy) "at Glasgow on the twenty third day of October Nineteen hundred and eighty five", prepared by Biggart Baillie & Gifford WS, Solicitors, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The deed declares that the trust "shall be known as 'The Esterson Trust'".[20] Its purposes clause gives preference to funds "of Jewish origin" and to funds with which "the late Miss Amy Rachel Grace Esterson, who resided at One hundred and forty Hyndland Road, Glasgow, was associated with personally as a subscriber or otherwise, including but not limited to such Funds as the Trustees acting under the Deed of Trust granted by the said Miss Amy Grace Rachel Esterson dated the Twenty eighth day of March and registered in the Books of Council and Session on the Twenty sixth day of August both months in the year Nineteen hundred and sixty six may identify".[20] The 1966 date is therefore that of an earlier deed of trust granted by Amy Rachel Grace Esterson herself, which the 1985 deed mentions; the 1985 deed does not say that it replaces it.[20]

Each of the trust's accounts for the years to 5 April 2022 to 2026 states: "The Esterson Trust's Deed of Trust was registered on 31 October 1985."[9][10][11][17][5] The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator gives the trust as a "Registered charity from 23 October 1985", with a constitutional form date of 23 October 1985, the date the deed was signed.[1]

The trust goes back to the original deed of trust granted by Amy Rachel Grace Esterson, dated 28 March 1966 and registered in the Books of Council and Session on 26 August 1966. The deed constituting the present trust, signed on 23 October 1985, reads as follows:[20]

The Trust Estate... shall be held by the Trustees in trust always for the following charitable purposes, namely:- ... 2. For the charitable purpose of applying any part or parts or the whole of the Trust Estate or the income thereof in making payments to such Charitable Funds of an educational, medical or geriatric character as the Trustees may deem appropriate preference always being given by the Trustees to such funds as are of Jewish origin and for persons and children of such faith and to such Funds as the late Miss Amy Rachel Grace Esterson, who resided at One hundred and forty Hyndland Road, Glasgow, was associated with personally as a subscriber or otherwise, including but not limited to such Funds as the Trustees acting under the Deed of Trust granted by the said Miss Amy Grace Rachel Esterson dated the Twenty eighth day of March and registered in the Books of Council and Session on the Twenty sixth day of August both months in the year Nineteen hundred and sixty six may identify by writing under their hands as having been the object of such association as aforesaid.[1]

The accounts summarise this as: "Capital and income of the Trust may be applied for charitable purposes of an educational, medical or geriatric character and to charities supported by the late Miss Amy Esterson."[21]
