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]
  • Israel activity. Note 3 shows Israel trip income of £73,964 in 2023 and none in 2024, and note 5 Israel costs of £76,639 in 2023 and none in 2024; an Israel restricted fund of £10,753 was unspent at both year ends (PDF p.14–15, 18). No place in Israel and no partner other than "CCI" is named.[2]
  • Payment to a trustee's spouse. Note 12 records £24,000 paid to the husband of a trustee for services (PDF p.18).[2]
  • Property. The register records land or property, but the accounts show fixed assets of £1,583 and say the trustees still aim to buy a property, the costs so far being "well in excess of the charity's resources" (PDF p.5, 9).[2][1]
