Naomi Campbell Banned From Being Charity Trustee

The model has been banned from serving as a charity trustee for five years following a Charity Commission investigation that revealed severe financial misconduct at Fashion For Relief, the poverty relief charity she led.

The model Naomi Campbell has been banned from being a charity trustee after a watchdog investigation uncovered widespread evidence of financial misconduct at the poverty relief charity she fronted for more than a decade.

Campbell was disqualified for five years after a Charity Commission inquiry found Fashion For Relief passed on only a tiny fraction of the millions it raised from star-studded celebrity fashion events to good causes.

The charity spent tens of thousands of pounds on luxury hotel rooms, spa treatments, cigarettes and personal security for Campbell, while unauthorised payments running into hundreds of thousands were made to one of Campbell’s fellow trustees, the commission said.

Nearly £350,000 ($467,000) was recovered by investigators from the charity and paid to Save the Children and the Mayor’s Fund for London, which reported Fashion For Relief to the regulators four years ago after fundraising partnerships went sour.
