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;[12] 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.[13][14][15][16] 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.[17]
  • No examiner's report. The contents page lists an "Accountant's Report" on page 8, but the filed document ends with the notes on page 7; with income above £25,000 an independent examination is required (PDF p.2, 9).[2]
  • Errors in the accounts. The cover gives the charity number as 287351, the report says the charity is "constituted by trust deed, dated 1st November 1988" although it is a company, and the report cites SORP 2008 (PDF p.1, 4–5).[2]
