Say goodbye to 64,000 spunderos Sheffield

Sheffield Council know just what to do with rate payers money

I see that yet another "Charity" funded by ratepayers has vanished off the face of the earth, taking with it £64,000 of Sheffield rate payers money.

This time it is the Mama East African Women's Group that has disappeared.

The commission opened an inquiry into Mama after visiting its derelict premises in April in search of the trustees, who had failed to turn up to a meeting to review their progress in implementing prescribed reforms after an earlier investigation.

The regulator's report criticises the charity's trustees for failing to discover that one of their number was an undischarged bankrupt and therefore not qualified to act as a trustee.

It also says the trustees showed "poor conduct" by failing to answer commission letters or turn up to the meeting. It says the commission will continue to monitor Mama until it is formally wound up and removed from the register.

The more I discover about these "Local Authority" funded charities, the more I wonder and worry.

You can bet that had there been a British National Party controlled council in Sheffield, those 64,000 spunderos would have been put to better use.
