Charity Commission inquiry

The Charity Commission opened a statutory inquiry into Island Health Trust in 2017 due to concerns regarding the misuse of funds and potential private benefit to trustees. The inquiry concluded with the disqualification of former Chair Suzanne Goodband for seven years after finding she benefited from nearly £350,000 of charity funds.
The report states the former Chair benefitted from £349,955, which was 60% of income.
“The regulatory action was taken after the inquiry found the former Chair benefitted from £349,955 over a two-year period – amounting to 60% of the charity’s income.”
The report describes spending on consultants as excessive and disproportionate.
“It found former trustees failed to act in the charity’s best interests and did not operate exclusively within the charity’s purposes.”
The report notes the decision to appoint a consultant known to the Chair was criticized.
“The Commission is also critical of a decision taken by the charity to appoint a consultant known to the former Chair who was paid a total of £105,834.88 across two financial years.”
Per the Commission’s published report. Summary is automated; the official report is authoritative.
