Coldplay urges overturning Kids Company report in legal challenge
Celebrities, including Coldplay and Joanna Lumley, are urging the overturning of a Charity Commission report on Kids Company, founded by Camila Batmanghelidjh. They claim the report is inaccurate and raises concerns about regulatory ethics. This call comes ahead of a high court hearing where Batmanghelidjh's supporters aim to quash the report. Kids Company, once a prominent charity, collapsed in 2015 amid financial pressures and unfounded allegations. A previous court ruling in 2021 cleared Batmanghelidjh and her trustees of financial negligence. However, the Charity Commission's later report found mismanagement, prompting this week's legal challenge from her supporters and the Camila Batmanghelidjh Foundation.
