COMING SOON

Where does the money go, who makes the decisions, and who is accountable?

This will be one of our most extensive investigations. We have three sets of Pumpkin and Friends Charity’s annual accounts to scrutinise, alongside years of social media posts, fundraising appeals and public statements.

We will be working with a Chartered Accountant to examine the charity’s finances in greater detail, having already identified numerous questions that we believe deserve clear answers.

Our investigation will examine the following:

1. How public donations are raised, managed and spent, whether expenditure aligns with the charity’s stated objectives, and how transparently its finances are reported.
2. The use of charity premises, equipment and other resources in connection with the influencer page Pumpkin the Wheelie Westie Warrior, including whether any associated commercial activities are conducted using charitable assets, whether appropriate agreements and permissions are in place, and whether any financial benefits, costs or potential conflicts of interest are properly documented, managed and disclosed.
3. The charity’s governance, including how trustees are appointed, the role of CEO Tammie Fox in those appointments, and the identities and responsibilities of trustees past and present. What decisions did they make, what oversight did they provide, and what responsibility did they bear for the charity’s activities?
4. The charity’s accounts for the financial year ending April 2026 when available, to see what further insight they provide into the management and expenditure of charitable funds. We await the imminent release of these accounts.

Public donations come with public responsibilities. Financial transparency and trustee accountability are not optional extras.
