It can't be long before one of the big cheque recipients has second thoughts.

what is the process for paying back a large cheque? do the charity have to get a large cheque and pose for a photo with Carly 'so everybody can see' the return of funds?
They have to purchase a giant "VOID" ink stamp.
'self-funded' through the workshop costs, no?
and now Carly's doing advertising for them
So that £7k will be spent just on food at workshops, that people (or funders, councils, charities, schools) have paid £570+ to attend. This should be getting way more noise and attention. I would be furious if my donation was used like this.

Having read the founder‘s linked in profile where she alleges she launched a Star Wars VR app AND turned around a failing business line in a 4 month contract, I think she is someone who is not afraid to bend the truth a little.
it's really not clear what the pricing structure is for those ones that aren't one-to-one. I'm guessing those workshops aren't per person, but is it £579 for a whole normal sized class (say 30) kids? or for 10? 20?

Banksy turns up with a giant comedy shredder?
Fair enough that they are a per workshop cost (website is so unclear though) but I think the point remains.
I just don’t know how she can see the food bank and the struggle they are having and think there’s anything better than giving them the whole lot. Well, I can, because she’s Carly, but still.
Have you looked at the Companies House track record for that one, particulary the filing history? It's proper dodgy. Courses sold at £579 per person but the most recent turnover is a few thousand pounds? Either they get sod all attendees or they're a brand new venture that's what they call "backed into" and repurposed an old dormant company for various reasons rather than set up a new one.
Honestly you need about three minutes investigation into some of these organisations before a number of questions come up that should have been asked before they were given a penny.
spent it all on five course luncheons for the kiddos probs
I mean it does not even offer any dates that the courses/workshops are going to be running. Look at any reputable company (and some disreputable ones!) and generally you'll always see the dates that each particular course or workshop is going to be running, as they have to plan the trainers (course-givers), classrooms/facilities etc well in advance. Everything on the website just goes back to a google form and "give us three course dates that work for you". It's either a totally tit one man band affair with delusions of grandeur, or it's one of these financial vehicles that never actually does much but is entirely designed to extract money from corporates and councils purely so they can tick a box in their annual report and say something vague like "we invested £x in diversity training" and have a crappy receipt in case anybody ever asks for it, it never actually matters whether the training got delivered or not.
Carly's side of things stinks and some of the organisations she's throwing money at stink too.
Birds of a feather etc
Surely the regular was looking into this over the weekend?
The more giant cheques she can be photographed with the better it is for the community!
It really grinds my mushrooms when people don’t understand who you can and can’t do an FOI on!
And also those arguments “if she was up to no good, we’d know because she’d have spent the money on a carribean holiday, which she hasn’t. Therefore she isn’t at all dodgy.”

The YH comments aren’t getting any better
Her latest facebook post, with the deer, "After I had donated ..."
You sure about that Carlz? After *I* had donated? really love?
Should read "After I had decided to redirect *your* donations ..."
I bet she wouldn't like the wild bambi so much if they got on to her allotment (if she had one) and ate everything ... it would still be Harlow Council's fault ...
