We support the judicial review of the Charity Commission’s 2022 report on Kids Company, scheduled for 19-20 March. This review is crucial not only for seeking justice for the charity and its founder, Camila Batmanghelidjh, who sadly died on 1 January 2024, but also for upholding the integrity of the entire charitable sector in the UK.
In February 2021 the high court unequivocally stated that false allegations, not operational issues, led to Kids Company’s closure. No evidence of wrongdoing or fund misuse was found. But in its 2022 report, the Charity Commission chose not to accurately represent these findings, prompting this judicial review to ensure that the report is consistent with the facts.
