A Chabad Lubavitch charity has been issued with an official warning by the Charity Commission after fundraising for an IDF soldier.

The regulator said it took action after finding that the trustees of Chabad Lubavitch Centres North East London and Essex had “acted outside the charity’s purposes” and failed to “safeguard its best interests and its reputation”.

The warning imposes a number of requirements on the Chabad centre’s trustees to remedy the “misconduct” and “mismanagement”.

A failure to do so will lead to more regulatory action.
