Was that the Australian woman? Wellness thing
No, i just found the thread. Her name is Georgie Morris. The last update was in August where she had deposited about £1500 back to the GFM page.

Rachaele Hambleton aka Part Time Working Mummy on Facebook and Instagram.

She set up her page claiming to help women who have been in abusive relationships, telling stories about "women and babies suffering the most horrific abuse", and claiming she was getting 6 women a week into refuge. She's had multiple Go Fund Me appeals set up, including one set up by followers to help her buy her home (after the landlady said she wanted to sell it shortly after they'd moved in).

She also had (and probably still has, nobody knows) a PayPal fund set up going directly to her, with woolly wording around "enabling me to continue doing what I love", no actual guarantee that the money was going towards abused women, but the implication was there. It appears that "what she loves" is quitting her job to become a full time Instascammer, doing adverts for anything and everything, buying her house and doing a load of tit renovations and decorating, ignoring her kids and step kids unless she's bribed into being in an advert. A couple of years ago when criticised about her change in lifestyle, she said "I'm not dripping in Gucci". Well guess what, these days she has Gucci bags, sunglasses, shoes and sandals etc, as well as a number of other designer items (Mark Jacobs, Mulberry, Victoria Beckham etc), and is constantly out for expensive meals and nights away (despite having 4 kids and 2 step kids, at least 2 of which she claims have "additional needs").

She then set up a CIC with herself and a couple of friends as directors, the paperwork detailed their aim was to help "one abused woman a month". She rented a building, threw loads of money at it to renovate it into a "women's centre", the purpose of which isn't really clear, it appears to mostly be a hangout spot for her and her mates. Then she opened a shop next door, with "all profits going to the centre". Then she opened a packing centre, so the shop tat could be sold online. Then there was a second "centre ", all these buildings were renovated and decorated, but the centres have no real purpose (she claims that local agencies, including social services and the police use them for "meeting women") other than being a vanity project and feeding her saviour complex.

Since setting up her shop, she's run various raffles, none of which she has ever announced the winners of. She regularly asks for donations in the form of vouchers "for the women", and also asking for food donations around school holidays. The only person who appears to have benefited from these is a friend of hers (and the sister of her old accountant), who is from a very well off family, sends her kids to private school, and has set up her own business, so not someone in desperate need of financial support.

Recent Amazon wish lists have included things like vouchers for restaurants, Costa, cinema, as well as shops like Footlocker and ASOS. Again, all apparently "for the women".

She has never provided any evidence of where the various funds she has received have gone, even back to the PayPal days when she promised a monthly newsletter, donors have confirmed these were never received. When anyone emailed her asking where their donations had gone, she got all passive aggressive, refunded their money and blocked them. She has restricted comments on her Instagram so if anyone mentions PayPal it's filtered out.
Is she well known in the local area? Maybe social services sign post people to her? Mind you I struggle to see people in crisis need footlocker or ASOS vouchers! Round my way they ask for supermarket vouchers or food parcels where you really can buy most things. Seems odd 🤔

Belle Gibson was the Aussie moron who said she had cancer but didn’t

Why don’t the likes of Arias mum and I’m sure many others just ask for people to donate to the chosen charities in memory of xxxxxxx . Why do they need to accept the money then hand it over .a direct donation is far better option and lowers the 🚩

What about Jack Towers, the slimming world chap?? Lost a load of weight, someone set up a GFM and raised thousands for his loose skin op. I'm sure he had the weight loss surgery on the cheap and spent the rest on holidays and clothes? And food, judging by the size of him again now!
OMG!!!!! I followed him for ages!!!! He disappeared and I couldn’t find him. Totally forgot about him. He got a girlfriend as well didn’t he?

There’s always some emotional blackmail in a post as well with arias mum. “Can’t stop crying” then 10 seconds later “please donate” NO. NO MORE DONATIONS.

I’ve been reading these threads a lot recently because deep down I’ve often been shocked at what people are asking for whilst their child is literally on their death bed. I get times are hard but sound people are relentless, the hustle never stops!
I follow a page from a family in America I think who sadly lost their beautiful daughter in March this year, they used to ask for a lot towards personal costs when she was still here. I swear, today I was talking about this subject with my husband and mentioned the American page then the second I went in my Instagram I seen a post, they were asking for help towards living costs, and set up a go fund me for $30,000!!!!! I was bloody gobsmacked. People had commented criticising them, comments were swiftly deleted and she posted a story ranting about it. But honestly, the lengths people go to for money, exploiting their own dead child, shocks me so much to my core. It shouldn’t shock me in the world we live in but it does, how do people sleep at night i really do wonder.

During one of their IG Q&A I asked how much is the medication for Aria and I think she said "it depends." She didn't give me a figure and in the end it was not saved in her IG story highlights. I thought that was odd. She never said how much is the medicine/trial drug, but if you ask for people's money, you have to be transparent. Then after she passed, I saw this on FB saying that it was 4k.
Gosh! It’s all Coming out now! You can never ever get away with these lies, the truth always outs, “what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”
Imagine knowing that you’ve been rumbled, and you have speculation and dishonesty following you, whilst trying to grieve. I wouldn’t have that for any amount of money. ☹

the nurse mum was another one had multiple go fund me to raise money for her disabled son, he unfortunately passed away and although she already had go fund me with more than enough money another one was made for his funeral which raised another lot of £££
this is just two of them, there was more View attachment 1788626

Is that the woman who went onto secure a job with Virgin Atlantic as cabin crew? With weekly stop overs in worldwide destinations?
I’m sure she was in “talks” with the queen of poorly children scams: Saffiya! 🤯
Did she never say where that money went? a similar charity to her child’s illness? Or was that GFM always originally intended for her personal use all along?

This is pretty sad but sums up in one photo the fact that diets don’t work long term, they are not sustainable. You cannot follow Slimming World forever even if you lose the weight, get their maintaining booklet. It’s nothing to do with willpover either, we are biologically driven to eat. As far as Harry’s subconscious brain is concerned he’s been in a famine and it’s raging to get him back to his old weight. Jack if you read this then look up “set point weight”, this is what your brain thinks is normal and it’s why you have regained.

Why in black and white and why can’t you see any labels ?? If you zoom in the packet in the make up case it says “apricot “…. Can’t imagine a natural product containing apricot costs you hundreds. People ask what they are and used for and they never answered

I do wonder if arena is mom got that /any of that money as she wasn’t the beneficiary??
Want to know why it says apricot? Because apricot and it’s seeds are recommended in some circles as a natural alternative to shrinking tumours.. sounds like a bottle of apricot seeds more than any specialist treatment, and that’s a whole new rabbit hole!

Im all for implementing alternative or natural medicines . Apricots do not cos thousands a month. There was no way she was on any medications until she got the freebies . Why not post photos of the real medications or visible pics of them. Just a joke these families and their wicked ways .

Anyone remember the Slaton Scam? They're the sisters from the show '1000lb Sisters' but they had a following on YouTube prior to that.

Tammy (who weighed around 43st) was really poorly with pneumonia and they thought she was going to die, so her sister Amy started a GFM to pay for a super size coffin to accommodate Tammy's body. Loads of people contributed but Tammy ended up recovering, then the GFM page disappeared (along with everyone's donations).

People asked for their money back but Amy claimed she gave the donations to her mother to help pay her bills! Nobody was refunded as far as I know.

100% agree. I don’t agree with people getting gastric bands fitted as it’s a mental condition, as to why someone cannot put down junk food. Myself included 😭

Could anyone explain the difference, if there is one, between a CIO and a CIC please?

I found this site, not sure if it helps you or not. I don't understand much of it tbh. If your looking into in because of PTWM, the reasons for being a CIC will be solely to benefit herself.
