Important	further	Information	Para	1.41	hilst we are restricted in what we can say, as
					here is an active police investigation into the
					malicious allegations made by WBUK Halford
					Hall, and the Charity Commissions subsequent
					onduct, which featured in 3 issues ofPrivate
					Eye. We can only highlight what is already in
					he public domain, namely that this charity was
					attacked specifically because we raised,
					robustly evidenced comprehensive concerns
					hat WBUK had caused harm to whistleblowers
					and allowed the continuing abuse and neglect
					fvulnerable people. We would take the same
					action again without hesitation.
					Our case also raises a number ofvery
					important issues, charities who challenge
					rongdoing that directly affects their
					beneficiaries are vulnerable to political attacks
					and there needs to be specific protection for
					uch situations in future. We have experienced
					harassment, malicious allegations, bullying,
					abuse ofpower and injustice.
					sa charity run by whistleblowers, our very
					heartbeat is speaking out about wrongdoing,
					hat kind ofcharity would we be ifwe
					remained silent on issues ofserious abuse?
					his charity has no paid staff, it is run by those
					ho have witnessed abuse and have suffered
					or reporting it.
					e are effective in the work we do because we
					really listen to whistleblowers and families of
					buse victims and all our policies are based on
					he experiences ofwhistleblowers and families
					fabuse victims. Our work is aimed at
					hallenging the root causes ofabuse and we
					identify those issues by listening to those who
					are directly experiencing them.
					s a result ofthe WBUK malicious allegations
					and the Charity Commissions political attack on
					us, we have endured what can only have been
					an attack with intent to silence us permanently
					by trying to exhaust our small resources, taking
					212hours away from our vital work and
					attacking until we were forced to spend E43a
					day on legal fees. We are trying to recoup this
					ia crowd justice, and we are so grateful that
					o many came forward to donate from the
					little they had to spare.
					his charity has and will continue to exist by
					he goodwill ofthose we have directly helped.
