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;[8] 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.[9][10][11][12] 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.[13]
  • Accounting basis. The accounts are on a receipts-and-payments basis although receipts exceeded £250,000;[2] Charity Commission guidance says that basis "may only be used where a non-company charity has a gross income of £250,000 or less".[14]
  • Reserves statement. The report states: "The charity does not require reserves as it does not have any outgoings", although payments were £510,861.92 (PDF p.5).[2]
  • Dates. The independent examiner's form is dated 26 January 2026 (PDF p.10),[2] after the register records the return as received, on 11 January 2026.[1]
