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]
- No accounts filed. The filing contains no accounts, trustees' report or independent examiner's report, only a draft annual-return form, although the register records the accounts as received "On time" (PDF p.1–5).[3][2]
- Related-party grants to non-charities. Grants of £15,606 went to organisations that are not charities, and the form says some grant recipients are related parties; neither the recipients nor the trading subsidiary are named (PDF p.2–3).[3][2]
