In its first year of operation, the charitable company received goods and services to the value of £37,440 from Stephen Rubin, Chair of the PCAA Executive Committee, through one of his companies (Robert Stephen Holdings Ltd). Almost £30,000 of this went on consultancy fees and £6,671 on legal fees.[1] This pattern continued in 2002, with donations coming Rubin's main company, Pentland Group Ltd and being used towards consultancy and legal fees; at the same time, the company began to accrue modest donations.
In 2003, PCAA began to run an office and to report the salary and NI contributions of a member of staff in its annual return. However, the company's annual return stated that PCAA 'did not directly employ any staff for the period under review. [...] All costs in the period were met by intangible income'.[2] In the accounts, Rubin's donation is allocated to salaries, national insurance and office running costs. In 2004, PCAA allocated £21,620 to research costs, which continued to feature in subsequent accounts.[3]
In 2009, coinciding with Conway's departure as Executive Director, Rubin's donation was reduced and some of the shortfall was made up by the Pears Charitable Foundation, which had as a trustee Sir Trevor Pears, who had taken over as Chair of the PCAA Executive Committee when Rubin became PCAA's Chair of Trustees (with Pears as his Vice Chair). [4] On 11 December 2015, Rubin resigned as a trustee, exempting the charitable company from reporting his donations in their accounts.[5] In the 2017 accounts, it was stated explicitly that 'As with last year, the majority of donations received by the charity are from The Pears Family Charitable Foundation'.[6] Donations declared in the APT accounts are as follows and not entirely corroborated by the accounts for the Rubin Foundation (which list donations of £170,000, £30,000 and £20,000 for the years ending April 2015, 2016 and 2017) or the Pears Family Charitable Foundation (which report donations of £150,000 in the years ending March 2017 and 2018).
