The Charity Commission has launched an investigation into the charitable status of a community centre which has failed to file accounts for almost 1,800 days.
The All Nations Community Centre in Gloucester has still not filed accounts which were due on 30 September 2011. In September last year it became part of a Commission’s class inquiry, which is looking into all charities that have failed to submit financial information for two or more financial years.
As part of the inquiry the Commission ordered trustees to file five years of documents, but they have failed to comply.
The new investigation will look at:
- whether All Nations Community Centre is established as a charity and is operating for the public benefit.
- the general administration, governance and management of the charity by the trustees with specific regard to the charity’s property.
- whether or not the trustees have complied with and fulfilled their duties and responsibilities as trustees under charity law.
