Charity Commission inquiry

The Charity Commission launched statutory inquiries into four charities linked to the 'Barnabas Family' due to identified risks regarding shared premises, trustees, and the flow of funds with Barnabas Fund, which is itself under inquiry. The regulator has frozen bank accounts and restricted transactions for these charities to protect charitable assets while it investigates potential misconduct, mismanagement, and compliance with legal duties.
