Where does it all go ?

Answer to a request regarding Mayoral Charity Accounts......

Further to your request for information, I can advise that the council has not funded directly any payments and that the funding received was from fundraising activities undertaken by each mayor as follows:-

2010/11 £248.50
2011/12 £863.50
2012/13 £40,000.00
2013/14 £44,450.00
2014/15 £33,614.62
2015/16 £12,512.96
2016/17 £22,770.26
2017/18 £21,679.47

I was rather hoping they would attach the actual accounts...Money In....Money Out......where it came from a where it ended up.

Exactly Fred, where is the money paid to when it is not a registered charity or business ?
I can't see how  bank account could exist without formal registration.

People who have contributed directly or indirectly to such fundraising activities have the right to know how the money was spent and be itemised.
Transparency is essential.
I cannot understand why it would not be.

ooooh, you fibber

I'd hazard a guess as to where some of it, at least, has gone.  New cars, cruises, Far East holidays, champagne, posh cakes!  But then that's just me being cynical!

Speaking from a personal point of view, if I wanted to donate to charity I would donate it to said charity directly and not via a local politician......and certainly not in Hartlepool.
