The land of grey peas and bacon

Watching a programme about the chief executive and there is something really dodgy about her. I know that some programmes are edited but something just doesn't ring right when the charity collapsed.

Was saying on radio that she has a very persuasive and domineering personality.

Code for a bully me thinks.

That's what you get when you have friends in high places. The politicians were so inept as to keep throwing money at her. And she gratefully accepted it.

No accountability and questions asked.

I was expecting her to turn round and say the kids company paid for her to go to university and now she is in a good job.... hence the nice flat. Did i miss hear that she started getting support at 21 years old?

That was a luxury flat that she was in.

Sending the girl to boarding school was good though

Just rewound. "she was 21 when she arrived at kid's company". How is a 21 year old classed as a kid?

I met her a couple of times. Definitely something not right about her. I don't know why it didn't set off alarms with the people dealing with her...

It seemed massively over-staffed and their offices too deluxe - thus a charity with very high overheads. They probably did some great work.

She's presumably fully mentally healthy. But her ability to twist things and influence others was was a bit suspect.

I'd have felt great if she'd paid for the 19-21 year old whose family had been killed abroad, out of her own pocket, but it seemed wrong for that charity to pay for her, when it was for children.

I agree with you 100% the 21 year old was not a child

Some people have the gift of a personality that mesmerizing people.The initial concept of kids company was brilliant but without proper oversight both financial and bureaucratic. It appears to have turned into a private fiefdom for the few and lost its main purpose.

It goes to prove a point that "administration" costs behind charities is a massive black hole, the percentage of your generous donation that actually goes into the pocket of the intended is minuscule.

Some people get a nice living off the backs of "charity"
