On Wednesday September 23rd, the Charity Tribunal dismissed a Charity Commission decision of appointment of an interim manager to a Sikh charity that is presently under investigation.
The Sikh Channel Community Broadcasting Company Limited is registered to extend faith, religious and community services particularly within the Sikh community. But in 2018, the Charity’s income at £1.6 million did not match with its expenditure at £1.5 million. According to the judgment, the Commission said it believed that new trustees have failed in their duties as trustees since their appointment by failing to recognise and manage conflicts of interest. It was also concerned that a former trustee continued to be involved in decisions.
It had appealed a decision by the Commission to appoint Philip Watts and Sarah Tomlinson of Anthony Collins Solicitors as interim managers of the charity
