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;[9] 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.[10][11][12][13] 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.[14]
- Undated approval and mismatched figures. The trustees' approval and the examiner's report are undated (dotted lines); the detailed account gives grants of £69,206 and bank charges of £168, against £69,240 and £134 in the statement of financial activities; the principal address in the accounts differs from the register's (both in NW11) (PDF p.3–7, 11).[2][1]
