Kids Company scamming charity? Or just incompetent management?

The fact that the phrase 'mesmerised' has been used to describe the effect 'Batman' had on David Cameron and Gordon Brown has put some really horrific imagery in my head...:(

Well a young lady (ex Kid) stated on BBC R4's Today programme this morning, that the "Kids" would turn up weekly and collect their brown envelopes containing £30 and then spend it all on illegal drugs. She said one could smell cannabis smoke all down the street.

Public money well spent, I don't think so.

I listened to that too. Doesn't surprise me!

Camilla Batmanwhatsit didn't sounds very businesslike at all :/

The government funded it as a paedo farm to keep the young boys coming to Westminster for the dirty nonce MP's. It's now shut down before the parliament paedo ring gets busted wide open.....................

If you could somehow link in the disappearance of flight MH370 then we really would have a story.
 
I'm gona guess a bit of both, with more emphasis on snouts in the trough than incompetence probably even incompetent at getting their snouts in the trough though.

Christina Osazuwa, whose nine-year son who has been attending Kids Company for a year, was one of those protesting in Camberwell, south London yesterday.
She said: 'Kids Company has provided so much for them as children.Especially in terms of education and materials - the company sometimes supplies them with clothes for instance, for those who can't afford it.
'They deal with a lot of troubled children, taking so many people on holidays and single day outings and there are never any problems during these trips.
'It is really frustrating this place is shutting down. I am heartbroken.'

What is more frustrating is that there shouldn't be a need for the charity in the first place if that mum wasn't such a deadbeat. Why does she need a charity to provide meals or education materials - we've got free education and child benefit in the UK, the kid will get free food at school if she makes sure it goes there and the child benefit ought to cover other meal costs if she sorted her life out.
 
Do government grants to charities that are clearly overlapping some areas that should be handled by the welfare system show up in the budgets as welfare spending?

If the government feels a need to fund certain areas then it should be done by the government where somebody can be held accountable, not via a third-party smoke-and-mirrors organisation.

Charming, and presumptuous. GD living up to its usual standards.

I should imagine the whole purpose is for spending not to show on the welfare budget. That way they can say they are reducing welfare spending. Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
 
I quite liked the interview on the BBC last night where she seemed to imply that philanthropists being scared away by an active police investigation were anything other than incredibly sensible. Or the related implication that everything would have been okay if people had just refrained from telling potential doners that the charity was under suspicion.

Due diligance anyone?

No one who wears a pineapple on their head is legit. I'm glad to see she's been shut down. Hopefully she'll not pop on on QT again.

How is how she dresses relevant? I mean sure look at due diligence of the charity but not how she dresses.

That is some leap to assume she is deadbeat.
