Naomi Campbell has been barred from serving as a charity trustee in England and Wales for five years due to mismanagement of the charity she founded, Fashion for Relief. The Charity Commission's extensive investigation revealed that only 8.5% of the charity's expenditures were allocated to charitable grants over six years. Numerous issues were identified, including the use of charity funds for personal luxuries, which raises critical concerns regarding the accountability and governance of charitable organizations.
The Charity Commission detailed multiple instances of misconduct, highlighting that thousands of pounds from Fashion for Relief's funds were misused for personal expenses, including Campbell's luxury hotel stays and spa treatments. The inquiry also found that payments totaling around 290,000 pounds to trustee Bianka Hellmich for consultancy services were unauthorized and against the charity's own regulations. This investigation marks a significant example of governance failure in philanthropic organizations.
