register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Dillhaven Limited
Dillhaven Limited is a registered charity and private company limited by guarantee, established in 1976 in England and Wales. Its mission is to advance the Orthodox Jewish faith through religious life and education, alongside other charitable purposes. Governed by a deed of trust and led by a board of trustees primarily from the Ellinson family, the charity values community continuity, tradition preservation, and prudent stewardship. It funds through rental income from an investment property portfolio, ensuring consistent long-term grantmaking while prioritising reserves over expansive operations. The charity is distinctive for its family-led, discreet approach and unwavering local religious focus.
What Dillhaven Limited funds
Dillhaven Limited exclusively funds Orthodox Jewish religious and educational initiatives. Grants support core costs and general operational needs of communal institutions that strengthen religious practice, education, and infrastructure. The charity focuses on embedded organisations within the Gateshead Orthodox Jewish community. Geographically, support is limited to Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, and Sunderland in the North East of England.
Who can apply
Dillhaven Limited supports only pre-selected, established Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions within the Gateshead community. Beneficiaries are embedded organisations that strengthen religious practice, education, and infrastructure. The charity does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are made by invitation to organisations that uphold Orthodox Jewish traditions. Eligibility is restricted to entities operating in Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, and Sunderland.
What Dillhaven Limited doesn't fund
Dillhaven Limited does not fund poverty relief, capacity building, capital projects, or broader community support. It also excludes direct services, projects, and any non-Jewish causes. Support is not available for organisations outside the Orthodox Jewish faith or outside the specified geographic area.
