Controversies and regulatory action

  • No Charity Commission inquiry or Gazette notice naming this charity was found; it was removed before the 2025–2026 class inquiries and is not named in any of the Commission's announcements.[5][6][7][8][9]
  • Overdue filings before removal. The archived register entry of March 2010 was marked "DOCUMENTS OVERDUE": accounts and annual returns for 2006, 2007 and 2008 had not been received (875, 509 and 144 days overdue), the 2005 accounts were received 59 days late and the 2004 accounts 423 days late.[3]
  • No accounts available. The UK Government Web Archive holds no readable copy of any of its accounts; captures of the 2002–2005 accounts files return "not found" errors.[10]
