I can’t recall her ever talking about it again after her rant about how it was so terrible for teachers to be searching pupils bags for alcohol, basically making excuses for Betsy.What was the outcome of the vodka/school thing?
Alright, so I’m pretty sure at this point that the PayPal account that people donate money too is managed by Rachaele and she may pay herself from it. Does anyone know if she makes this clear anywhere at all to her followers and the people who donate? My research is pulling up some questionable stuffShe has been very quiet and sheepish since she saw this thread. I’m really now thinking that we were all right and none of it is legit at all. I mean surely you would want to address a couple of concerns re the legalities of your work and fundraising?
Depends what you mean by pay. She could pay to get the train to get to them.Alright, so I’m pretty sure at this point that the PayPal account that people donate money too is managed by Rachaele and she may pay herself from it.

No it’s quite bigger than that. Basically she has raised 16k on Go Fund Me and has a direct link on her webpage to a PayPal account. You can sign up to donate anything from £1 - £100 per month. Her web page says that it is to support DV ‘warriors’ though there is a small paragraph that says it also so that she has ‘enough time and money to manage the page.’ I think this would count as a disclaimer reference to the fact she pays herself a wage from the donations. However, the fund is not registered anywhere, neither as a charity or a ltd company. Therefore she is technically able to pay herself whatever she wants to from the donations. So if you take into account that she has 500k followers on Facebook and say 50k of those people donated £1 per month, that’s £50k a month going straight into a PayPal account that she manages unregulated (that’s an estimate btw, obvs I don’t know what donations she gets.) So my dilemma is do the people that donate know possibly not all the funds go to DV charities, but they pay her also (and are happy with that.) Or do they not know and should I pass on my info to someone who will investigate further (I’ve gone as far as I can go and wish I hadn’t found out so much to be honest. It’s not something I want to expose/ write about if it’s trueDepends what you mean by pay. She could pay to get the train to get to them.
Or to put a hotel room in her name for them.
I’m not really sure how this all works but I’m sure she earns quite a bit and doesn’t need to use it.![]()
Yes. This is the gist of it. I think I’m morally torn as to if to hand over my findings on to someone who has a bigger resource than I have to make deeper investigations. But then ethically I think I should. As I said it’s not really an area I would report on, but I know it’s a story. It’s certainly immoral from her but whether its illegal I am not sure without a response from her teamI think most people would probably know that donations help ensure that she has enough ‘time and money to run the website’ but would assume that relates to the likes of travel expenses and wouldn’t do the maths that she is potentially receiving 10s of thousands each month.
PTWM frequently asks for specific requests to help her ‘warriors’ such as prams, fridges, toys etc etc so I don’t understand what the donation money is being spent on. All she needs to state, for example, is that her followers raised £xx in April 2019 and the money went towards rent deposits for 5 families, food and clothing etc etc but she is so so vague.
It does sound like she is paying herself but what I don't understand is how much? Like does she pay herself a wage? Or does she give herself bonuses. The money is not regulated and she can dip into it at any point so it does sound like fraud as there are no clear rules set out and no one knows what's being spent and paid out other than herself

I would defo pass your information on. If everything is good and above board she has nothing to worry about x

How do you know this? Do you work with her? Excuse my directnessI know when she requests and asks for stuff the money gets put towards getting those items to the people who need them!!
She knows about it. But no not directly because I didn’t think it would go this far. I’m passing it on though. They will do it and you never know, I could be wrong and it will all be cleared up easilyHave you directly contacted her? She may not know about this site x (highly doubt it with her inactivity)
Who do you pass it on to? God I’m nosey.She knows about it. But no not directly because I didn’t think it would go this far. I’m passing it on though. They will do it and you never know, I could be wrong and it will all be cleared up easily
It’s okay, I’ll just pass it to a journalist that works in that area. As I say it’s not really my thing.Who do you pass it on to? God I’m nosey.![]()
Just from what she has said on Instagram stories before that she covers the cost of getting the items!!kids. I think I’m going to pass it on.
I don’t have the resources to go any deeper.
Theoretically all she needs to do is make people aware of how much she is taking from the fund and where the other money is going. She has clearly known about this forum for days and not bothered to address anything. To be honest I’m mostly political and not personal/ crime/ life etc. So that’s why I was struggling to make a decisionMy bloody nose will get me in trouble one day
How do you know this? Do you work with her? Excuse my directness
