So let’s take a hypothetical situation. I’m not sure where the monies I’ve given a charity are being spent. I’d like to have some comfort on that from a responsible body i.e. The Charities Commission.
No! I have to write to the charity itself at it’s registered office asking for a list of its Trustees and/ or a copy of it’s Constitution? The very people I may have doubts about are the same people who will/ will not give me the information I want? Surely not?
So where’s the transparency? And also, where’s the evidence that any Government/Local Authority Grants/Lottery Funding is being spent on the items for which it was supplied?
More holes than a Swiss Cheese!
I’ve got this all wrong, of course. There’s a better explanation available

The accounts for 2021 have yet to be published as the charity missed the 9 month deadline but the 20 accounts are there. £79,000 income, £20,000 of which was spent on charitable income and a whopping 52k on salaries. Something not right

The charity regulator doesn’t keep a list of trustees Porcupine, the way Companies House does of Directors. All it says is that you can write to a charity and ask for trustee details and/or a copy of its constitution. If you look at the published accounts for the HAFC CommunityTrust I think you will find exactly the same practice re the trustees. Why you hide this I’ve no idea. I suspect some or all of trustees are cronies of Mcgowan and serve on both charities. I mean what’s to hide
