In view of questions being asked, and the absence of any public statement, The ME Association asked the Charity Commission (CC) a number of questions last week regarding the decision to dissolve the MEACH TRUST charity on 21 August 2007.
These were:
- Why has the charity ceased to function?
The CC were unable to clarify and pointed out that they generally do not make enquiries when a charity decides to dissolve.
- What has happened to the money (around £88,000 over five years) that was being raised to build a care home?
The CC was unable to provide an answer.
- What has happened to the remaining assets?
Any remaining assets have been donated to the 25% Group.
