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;[14] 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.[15][16][17][18] 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.[19]
  • Property costs counted as charitable spending. Of the £80,542 reported as charitable activities in 2025, £25,486 was property costs (repairs, management fees, rates, insurance, legal fees and loan interest) and £53,256 charitable payments, none of them named (PDF p.11).[2]
  • Income retained. In the year to 31 March 2024 the trust spent £17,568 of £363,087, a surplus of £345,519, despite its stated policy of passing funds on as soon as received (PDF p.4, 7).[2]
  • Company wording for a trust. The report says the trustees "are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up", although the charity is a trust (PDF p.4).[2]
  • Late filing. The register shows the latest accounts as received 3 days late.[14]
