Revach Vehazola Trust

Revach Vehazola Trust is a UK-registered charity established in 2011, dedicated exclusively to providing immediate relief from extreme poverty for families in Hackney, London, primarily through the distribution of food vouchers. Governed by trustees Mordechai Yakov Monderer, Yisochor Ber Rosenbaum, and David Grauman, alongside volunteers, it embodies a hands-on, community-responsive approach rooted in dignity, efficiency, and direct material aid. With annual income and expenditure around £1 million—almost entirely from donations and legacies—the Trust maintains a laser-focused mission on tackling food insecurity among the most vulnerable local households, eschewing broader strategies for urgent, tangible support.

It funds only emergency relief to prevent or alleviate poverty, specifically food vouchers or equivalent material aid for families in acute need, with a strong emphasis on individuals rather than organisations. While small grants may go to grassroots charities or community groups serving Hackney's disadvantaged populations, the core activity targets direct beneficiary assistance, aligning closely with charities focused on destitution relief, including Jewish or wider local communities.

Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities or community groups operating solely in Hackney, preferably small and grassroots-scale, though the Trust prioritises pre-identified families over external proposals. It does not accept unsolicited applications; all distributions occur at trustees' discretion on a rolling basis with no deadlines, guidance, or formal processes. Typical grants are small and needs-assessed, rarely exceeding several thousand pounds per household, with no support for projects, core costs, capital, capacity-building, advocacy, or activities outside Hackney.

Distinctively, Revach Vehazola avoids systemic change, endowments, or investments, channeling funds rapidly to frontline food poverty without published outcomes frameworks or strategic plans, setting it apart as a hyper-local, immediate-response funder for Hackney's poorest families.
