Two more charities added to Charity Commission's dormant accounts list
Howard Lake | 21 April 2004 | News
The Charity Commission has published two new additions to its list of inactive charities whose assets it proposes to transfer to another relevant charity.
The two charities are the Cleveland-based Middlesbrough Nebuliser Library and The Deaf Evangelical Fellowship. If you have any interests in these charities then you should contact the Charity Commission before 22 July 2004. Interested parties can include people who use, or who may use, the charity’s services; individuals or organisations that donate funds or other resources to the charity; and local authorities (councils) in whose area the charity operates.
The Charity Commission’s Dormant Accounts project is designed to identify dormant accounts held by or for charities, the money in which could be made available for other related charity work.

If the Commission does not hear that the charities listed are active or should retain the funds, then it will direct that the charities’ money to be transferred to another charity with similar charitable objects. As such, the project could prove a source of an unexpected windfall to a charity with similar objects or working in the same area.
