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;[7] 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.[8][9][10][11] 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.[12]
- Return does not balance. The receipts-and-payments form shows cash at bank of £549,627 in its statement of assets, against cash funds of £577,292, and the form's check cell reads "Agreement Error" (PDF p.7).[2]
- Template text and loans. The examiner's statement keeps unedited template text ("[insert name of applicable listed body]") (PDF p.1); the report refers to "loans to charitable causes of £2,500", but the receipts and payments show no loans made (PDF p.4, 7).[2]
