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;[18] 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.[19][20][21][22] 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.[23]
- Grants to a chapel linked to the chair. Scorrier Chapel received £3,600 in each of 2025 and 2024.[2] The archived register full print of January 2021 lists Roger Neil Morriss as a trustee of Scorrier Chapel Trust and Scorrier Christian Fellowship.[24] The accounts contain no related-party note, and whether the grantee is the same body is not established.[2]
- Figures inconsistent with the narrative. The report says "7 organisations benefited from grants during the year ranging from £600 to £2,000", but the grants list includes Scorrier Chapel at £3,600; the line for the year's surplus of £10,125 is labelled "EXCESS PAYMENTS OVER RECEIPTS FOR THE YEAR".[2]
