While the UK government has expanded its inquiry into the Mermaids charity, MAC Cosmetics is celebrating “trans awareness week” by launching an “inclusive makeup edit by Joseph Harwood (He, She, They) and is donating £50,000 to the Mermaids Charity. That seems like extremely poor timing.
Quoting the UK Government’s press release, the investigation into Mermaids began back in September.
The Charity Commission opened a regulatory compliance case into the charity in September 2022 after safeguarding allegations were raised. It has now formalized its engagement by opening a statutory inquiry, due to newly identified issues about the charity’s governance and management.
The Commission will investigate the regulatory issues to determine whether they indicate serious systemic failing in the charity’s governance and management. The trustees have fully cooperated with the regulator’s case, but their response has not provided the necessary reassurance or satisfied the Commission at this stage.
The regulator will seek to determine whether the charity’s governance is appropriate in relation to the activities the charity carries out, which involve vulnerable children and young people, as well as their families.
