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]
- Recipients not named. The accounts say £150,820 was distributed but list no recipient (PDF p.4, notes).[2]
- Inconsistent investment losses. The statement of financial activities shows net losses on investments of £181,262, while note 7 shows revaluations of (£361,262); the text was read by OCR from a scanned document, so the printed digits should be checked against the original (PDF p.7, note 7).[2]
