The Charity Commission has initiated a statutory inquiry into Lutterworth Athletic Football Club (registered charity number: 1175765) following repeated failures to meet filing obligations. The charity, registered in 2017 to promote community football in Leicestershire, entered a double defaulter class inquiry in 2024 for not submitting 2022 and 2023 accounts. It again defaulted on 2024 accounts, which remain overdue. The inquiry will assess trustees’ compliance with legal duties, including financial management, governance, and adherence to the charity’s governing document. It will also examine potential unauthorized private benefit to trustees or connected parties. The scope may expand if additional issues arise. The Commission will publish a report following the inquiry, which is not a finding of wrongdoing. The inquiry follows bank analysis identifying further concerns.
