Controversies and regulatory action
- No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[10] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[11][12][13][14] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[15]
- Unsigned accounts. The trustees' report and balance sheet approval lines and the date of the independent examiner's report (J Silver FCCA, Precision Ltd) are blank (PDF p.5–6, 8).[3]
- Loans and creditors. Other debtors of £19,478 are described as "various small loans made for charitable purposes", with £9,740 written off; a note says "Other creditors is an amount due to the trustees", but the only creditor shown is £780 of accruals, and the accounts report no related-party transactions (PDF p.8, 12, 14).[3]
- Property costs. Investment management costs were £38,706 in 2025 and £61,140 in 2024, against grants of £31,891 and £70,997 (PDF p.7, 12).[3]
