About Wychdale Limited

Wychdale Limited is a London-based grantmaking charity established in 1974. Governed by three trustees from the Schlaff family, it advances the Orthodox Jewish Faith alongside other charitable purposes including education, social welfare and poverty relief. The trust takes a distinctive, relationship-driven approach, relying on trustees' personal knowledge of beneficiaries while welcoming unsolicited applications reviewed on merit. It emphasises continuity, stability and targeted support for Orthodox Jewish institutions. Its family-led governance and commitment to unrestricted funding support faith-based community wellbeing.

What Wychdale Limited funds

The trust funds religious observance, educational programmes, social welfare initiatives and occasional poverty relief within Orthodox Jewish communities. It supports core costs, general activities, and specific projects. Its grants have supported established organisations such as The ABC Trust, Chevras Machzikei Mesifta, Dushinsky Trust, and Friends of Beis Chinuch Lebenos. While its primary geographic focus is on North and East London, particularly Barnet, Hackney and Haringey, it is open to UK-wide applicants whose work aligns with its charitable objects.
