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;[3] 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.[4][5][6][7] 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.[8]
- Inconsistent grant total. The report gives grants of £438,654, but note 5 totals £483,654 (PDF p.4, 13).[2]
- Grant with the same name as an inquiry charity. Grants include £12,000 to "Lehachyos" (PDF p.13),[2] the name of Lehachyos (1170523), which is in the September 2025 tranche of the cheque-cashing inquiry;[5] the match is by name only.
