The Charity Commission has initiated a statutory inquiry into The Micklegate Ecclesiastical Trust, a charity based in York. The investigation, opened on 7 January 2026, follows concerns about the charity’s financial controls and compliance with legal obligations. The trust has failed to submit accounts for the financial years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, and submitted financial information for 2022 raised concerns about related party transactions. The inquiry will examine the charity’s governance, financial management, and handling of conflicts of interest. It may expand if additional regulatory issues arise. The Commission plans to publish a report detailing findings and actions taken after concluding the inquiry. The investigation stems from regulatory concerns about potential misconduct or mismanagement in the charity’s administration.
