Governance: The document states the charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in the governance section, but Note 1 states it is 'unincorporated'. This is a contradiction, but not explicitly a 'serious incident' or 'late filing' in the governance flags sense. However, the fraud incident is a serious matter.
“This fraudulent activity was reported to the Charity Commission on 29 December 2024 (incident reference number is: 764899). The Charity Commission replied on the 14 January 2025 noting they were assured that the trustees had dealt with the matter appropriately and responsibly.”
