NOTTING HILL HOUSING TRUST CHARITY SHOPS

19-05-2006 22:14

The Charity Shop NHHT Brompton
The Notting Hill Housing Trust is defined as a Caritable Trust, but in reality it is only for tax avoidance purposes. As Trustees, the Management of Notting Hill Housing Trust have a legal obligation to act in the best interests of the many beneficiaries. Trust law in the United Kingdom is very strict and is categorised into 4 areas. Relief of Poverty, Promotion of Education, Religion and 'Other Public Benefit'. The last one is very vague. Thousands of social housing tenants who live in Notting Hill Housing Trust properties are severily discriminated, repressed and abused. Why does this happen? Because everyone is ignoring this issue. On 18th April 2006 Notting Hill Housing Trust removed itself as a Charitable Charity from the Friendly and Provident Societies without consulting the beneficiaries. If that is the case, why does Notting Hill Housing Trust operater and run a string of Charity Shops across London? Is this not the case that Notting Hill Housing Trust is in Breach of the Guidelines set out by the Charities Commission which stipulates that, 'Charities cannot trade'. Or the regulations of the Fair Trading Standards, where a business which is no longer a charity cannot describe itself as a 'Charity'. Can someone please explain?
