Campbell charity closed over misuse of £442k funds

A charity set up by model Naomi Campbell has been shut down after investigators found Fashion for Relief was poorly governed and had inadequate financial management

The Charity Commission has concluded a statutory enquiry, finding multiple instances of misconduct and mismanagement at the charity which raised nearly £5m in income from donations, but failed to give out virtually any grants, with only 10% of its income fulfilling its charitable purpose.

As a result, three individuals have been disqualified from acting as trustees, including Naomi Campbell for five years, Bianka Hellmich for nine years, and Veronica Chou for four years.
