The Next
Steps
The Parsons
Mead Action Group committee have now had a
chance to consider the findings of the Charity
Commission and met on November 21st to plan a
way forward.
As had been
pointed out on several occasions at the larger
group meetings the Charity Commission is not the
most powerful of organisations and there was no
great hope of them putting sanctions on the
Parsons Mead Trust, however, the report left
nearly as many questions open as it answered.
Objecting to the actions of the Trust to the
Charity Commission was a necessary step.
We have now
developed the next steps in our campaign.
The pending
litigation that was held on advice from
solicitors until after the response from the
Charity Commission will now be restarted.
This action will be through contract law rather
than trust law.
We have
opened a further dialogue with the Charity
Commission. We understand that the merger
of PMET and VET will not now be taking place,
instead a simple transfer of assets could occur
from PMET to VET. The dialogue is ongoing
at this time.
Other
activities planned include talking to our MP,
Chris Grayling, and approaches to certain
professional bodies to review the activities of
their members in the run up to the closure.
We will
certainly need some funding towards the cost of
legal advice so please consider donating
something to the group. Details of how to
donate are on the
website
We hope
that things will have advanced sufficiently for
us to be able to report back to you at a meeting
sometime in the first half of the spring term.
