Charity Today
15/12/2020
A Charity Commission inquiry,
published today (Tuesday 15 December), is highly critical of a pair who
raised money for Rohingya refugees but could not show how all funds
were used.
The Commission has redistributed approximately £196,000 of the money Mr Mohammed Hasnath and Ms Ruksana Ali (the former trustees) raised and both have been removed as trustees from the fund and disqualified.

The former trustees operated two online fundraising platforms, creating a
fund for Rohingya refugees. Whilst they never registered the fund as a
charity, its stated purpose made it charitable under the law.
