A case has been opened by the Charity Commission to probe "concerns raised" about the charity set up but dramatically quit.

The charities watchdog has opened a case into the Sentebale charity, amid a boardroom battle at the charity. It said: "The regulator for charities in England and Wales has opened a regulatory compliance case to examine concerns raised about the charity Sentebale.

"The Charity Commission is now in direct contact with parties who have raised concerns to gather evidence and assess the compliance of the charity and trustees past and present with their legal duties.

"The regulator’s focus, in line with its statutory remit, will be to determine whether the charity’s current and former trustees, including its chair, have fulfilled their duties and responsibilities under charity law. The Commission is not an adjudicator or mediator and is guided by the principle of ensuring trustees fulfil their primary duty to their charitable purpose and beneficiaries.

"After a period of assessing the initial concerns raised with the Commission, the regulator informed the charity on 2 April 2025 it has opened a regulatory compliance case. The regulator has not made any findings at this time."
