The charity's objects are to advance the Christian religion and provide assistance for persons in condition of need, hardship or distress. It was placed under inquiry in 2016, over concerns about its governance and financial management.
The regulator says that there have been several examples of misconduct and mismanagement by the charity's trustees during the course of the inquiry, including financial transactions that ran counter to legal orders made by the Commission.
The charity is also in default of reporting requirements. Its accounts for the financial year ended December 2019 are over 140 days overdue. The charity's previous three sets of annual accounts were filed late.
Geoff Carton-Kelly and Philip Reynolds of FRP Advisory Trading Limited have been appointed as interim managers to review and assess the charity's financial position and to make recommendations around whether it remains solvent and viable.
The trustees remain otherwise responsible for the charity.
The Charity Commission's inquiry continues.
