I liked it when the guy who also lives in Harlow and had successfully set up and was running a charity piped up. She hounded him out of the group.

She was saying right up to March 2023 that she was in the process of becoming a charity. She then switched to saying she was going to apply to become a CIC in April. She rejected becoming a charity because she would have to give up some control. With a CIC she can be the only director.

Update on GFM in May:

She didn't actually set up a CIC at all. She set up a for-profit private limited company. Was that advised?! And she had accountants and solicitors in April? I thought she was doing it all herself then? "Whiskers" didn't come on the scene until recently.

She's now getting caught out by her own words.

ETA: In April she had already decided she was going to go down the CIC route before speaking to a solicitor.

The decision to not become a charity was because she didn't want to give up control, regardless of tax efficiency concerns.

So if she didn't set up as a CIC, and can't work on the allotments as the council won't allow it, then what is her plan?

It is telling how she responds to scrutiny.
Very telling.
She is that dangerous combination of a know all who actually knows nothing and won't listen to anyone.

Apart from men who turn up after many years, and are madly in love with the money she has raised her.

She is the same as Hannah Ingram-Moore, "people for whom reality is a far-off, inconvenient raincloud they never remotely think about until they are soaked to the skin."

Mismanages hundreds of thousands in donations and when challenged has nothing to offer but "be kind".
