The defunct charity BeatBullying did not comply with its own reserves policy before going into liquidation last year, but there is no evidence that its demise was due to financial mismanagement, a Charity Commission report has concluded.
The regulator today published its report on its operational compliance case into the anti-bullying charity, which was founded in 2003 and received a £1.3m Cabinet Office grant in 2011 to expand its work, fuelling a period of rapid expansion.
But it made losses of £280,865 in 2012 and £417,814 in 2013, and in September 2014 sent a serious incident report about its financial plight to the commission. The following month it closed its website and announced that it was looking for a buyer. On 6 November, it went into liquidation owing more than £1m to its creditors.
