Naomi Campbell Banned from Being a Charity Trustee

Five months ago Naomi Campbell's charity, 'Fashion for Relief,' was shut down after a probe by a UK charity watchdog [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Naomi has been banned from being a charity trustee for five years...

From The Daily Mail

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has been disqualified as a trustee after an investigation into her Fashion For Relief charity uncovered 'serious mismanagement'.

It follows revelations by the Mail On Sunday that official accounts showed that it spent more than £1.6million on a glittering gala in Cannes, but gave just £5,000 to good causes over a 15-month period.

The Charity Commission confirmed in April that it had removed the supermodel's charity from the UK charity register while it continued its investigation into allegations of misconduct.

And today the Commission published the report of its statutory inquiry into Fashion For Relief, concluding the charity was poorly governed and had inadequate financial management.

Campbell, 54, was disqualified from being a trustee for five years, former colleagues Bianka Hellmich for nine and Veronica Chou for four.

The model founded the charity in 2005, saying she had been inspired by her friend Nelson Mandela telling her to 'use [her] voice' for good.

The organisation claimed to have raised more than £11million, mostly through glitzy fundraising events held all over the world, including in New York, Mumbai and Moscow.
