Charity Commission inquiry

The Commission opened a statutory inquiry due to serious concerns regarding the charity's financial management, governance failures, and the trustees' inability to account for charitable funds. The inquiry concluded that the former trustees were unfit to act, resulting in their disqualification for periods ranging from 5.1 to 10 years.

The report states that the charity was poorly managed and trustees failed to keep adequate records or hold required meetings.

“The inquiry found that the charity was poorly managed and not properly administered by its former trustees as they were at the relevant times.”

The report details a significant sum of money that could not be accounted for with supporting documentation.

“However, a sum of £259,383 remains unaccounted for, with no supporting documentation provided, despite repeated opportunities for the trustees to supply this material to the inquiry.”

The report highlights payments made to personal accounts without proper documentation or quorum.

“Between January 2017 and July 2021, Trustees A, B, and C authorised payments from the charity’s funds, totalling £206,041.78, to their personal bank accounts and the accounts of companies connected to them.”

Per the Commission’s published report. Summary is automated; the official report is authoritative.
