In my experience the accounts of the centres I have been involved in are either very poorly kept, or non-existent. Money just goes in the box, and comes out of the box. Occasionally sales of CDs, books and posters are kept separate, but I know of at least one centre where all the money goes in to the donations box. As VAT is payable on these items that is a very serious offence which could be taken up by Her Majesty's Officers of the Customs and Excise Department.
It would be interesting if people called in to local centres and asked to see the accounts. Perhaps Trading Standards Officers could become involved in investigating the accounts of individual centres?
Some centres are run illegally from private residences. It is illegal for a business to be run from a private residence, whether it is profit making or not. Perhaps the neighbours and the landlords would like to hear about what is happening in these properties?
Also sometimes the Sister -in-charge pays the rent by claiming Housing Benefit from the local council. A letter to the local council would probably shut that centre down.
What sites are they claiming we link to that are profit making? Do they mean their own sites that they try to deny connections with, ie all the money making fronts they and their supporters use?
