Popular Model and Actress Naomi Campbell has expired her term as a trustee of her own charity Fashion For Relief due to the investigations that showed improper management of her duties as a trustee. As it was reported, the charity organized a lavish gala in Cannes February last year costing nearly £1.6 million while less than £5,000 was donated to church for 15 months.

Last month, in April, the Charity Commission said that it has cancelled registration of Fashion For Relief as a charity in the UK pending finalisation of investigation into the issues of wrong doing. The report by the Commission stated that the organization was poorly run and managed with respect to resources and finances.

54-year-old Campbell has been disqualified for five years from being a trustee, while two of her and other staff’s former colleagues Bianka Hellmich and Veronica Chou were disqualified for nine and four years respectively. She began the charitable foundation in 2005, after Nelson Mandela taught her that she can help the world through her popularity. Although stating to have obtained more than £11 million from the man who organized such events, there was raised a red flag regarding money management of the charity especially after the Mayor's Fund for London complained about the non-settlement of £50,000.

The investigation found out that proportion of general speaking and joint kruskal wallis administered between allong December 2017 and through July 2022 only a measly percent of eight point fifty was reported of how much the churches money was actually put to use on organizations making generous donations in short. No prejudicial conduct was discovered, however, case studies of extravagant and excessive payments on trustee’s airfare and lodging were recorded successfully.

Additionally, it uncovered unauthorized payments totaling £290,000 to trustee Hellmich for consultancy services, violating the charity’s constitution. The charity’s funds were managed by external advisors instead of being held in a dedicated account.

Tim Hopkins, the Charity Commissions deputy director for investigations, stated that the trustees failed to act in the charity’s best interests prompting the disqualifications. The inquiry resulted in the recovery of £344,000 and the protection of an additional £98,000 in charitable funds, now donated to other supported charities.
