Summary of main achievements
Statutory Inquiry
In June 2021 Olive Grove Foundation was added
to the long List of Muslim charities the Charity
Commission has placed under Statutory Inquiry.
In a report published by Pluto JournaLs in 2017 it
was found that over thirty-eight per cent of all
disclosed statutory investigations conducted by
the Charity Commission were on Muslim charities
despite representing onLy 1.21 per cent of the
sector.
The Charity Commission has failed to understand
charity law and regulatory f ramework not only in
this Statutory Inquiry but also in several other
simiLar inquiries. Several statements sent to Olive
Grove Foundation as reasons for opening the
Inquiry are contrary to the Commission's own
rules and regulations.
Despite strong criticism, from 2012 to 2018 the
Charity Commission appointed William Shawcross
as its Chairman. a man who once said 'lslam is
one of the greatest, most terrifying problems of
our future
He aLso defended torture as a
'natural response to terrorism, as weLI as the US
detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a
MusLim-onLy prison, Long decried for keeping
people never charged with crimes imprisoned for
years.

ACHIEVEMENTS &
PERFORMANCE
for the period 7th February 2023 - 6th February 2024
Summary of main achievements
Statutory Inquiry
The Claystone thinktank stated: "The Commission
has labelled 55 charities with the issue code
'extremism and radicalisation, without their
knowledge, in the period 5 December 2012 to 8
May 2014. These charities werelare being
monitored as a potential concern for matters
relating to extremism and radicalisation.
There are no written criteria for applying or
removing this label and thus it Lends itself to non-
evidence based targeting of particular groups. We
don't know the criteria used to apply these
extremist tags by the commission. It's all very
subjective for a quasi-judicial body.
In 2018 the Commission appointed Baroness
Stowell as the Chair of the Charity Commission,
who during her tenure shared opinions about the
charity sector that betray a basic lack of
understanding of the complex, diverse sector she
was charged with regulating. In February 2018 the
DCMS select committee wrote to the Secretary of
State intimating that they could not endorse her
appointment to become Chair of the Charity
Commission;
'In opposing her appointment, the select
committee wrote they could not support her
appointment, citing her 'negligible charity sector
experience"
'a complete lack of experience of
working for a regulatory body" and that she was
unable to withstand scrutiny"

Summary of main achievements
Statutory Inquiry
The Commission's Lack of understanding of the
law and the regulatory framework was published
by Directory of Social change.
'Since Baroness Stowell took over as Chair of the
Charity Commission in early 2018, the public
messaging from the regulator has become
increasingly unmoored from its various statutory
duties and everyday administrative procedures.
Speeches, interviews, press releases and blogs
from senior officials seem to reflect her personal
opinion about 'charity' and what's wrong with it
and her interpretation of 'what the public expect,,
rather than an impartial or objective view based
in a deep understanding of charity law and the
regulatory framework.
Jay Kennedy - Director of Policy and Research
The Charity Commission has made a number of
false aLlegations against the trustees of Olive
Grove Foundation. Multiple requests for evidence
for their cLaims have simply been ignored by
Charity Commission staff.
Olive Grove Foundation initiated legal action
through the Lower Tribunal, which six months
after the Hearing dismissed the appeaL, however
stated"The Tribunal found that up to 800/0 of the
concerns of the Respondent identified in the
witness statement of Mr. Roake (head of the
Charity Commission's compliance team) were not
of legitimate concern.

Summary of main achievements
Statutory Inquiry
The Trustees are disappointed with the Tribunal's
decision which we believe is not a fair
representation of the evidence put forward at the
hearing, much of which was misconstrued in the
Judgement provided by the Tribunal.
Olive Grove Foundation in conjunction with a
number of other organisations is currently
preparing legal action which WILI be taken to the
High Court where a much wider range of evidence
can be heard.
It has now been three and a half years since the
opening of the Inquiry which has moved at snail
pace despite the serious allegations made against
the Trustees, which were proven to be false in a
court of law. The compliance team at the Charity
Commission were provided with thousands of
documents, videos, images, receipts, reports, etc.
in relation to the charity's work within months of
the Inquiry being opened, all of which was also
submitted to the Tribunal and yet we have not
heard a single bit of feedback or an apology from
the Commission in relation to their false
allegations.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL
REPORT
for the period 7th February 2023 - 6th February 2024
Summary of main activities
Tackling Poverty - United Kingdom
The main focus of Olive Grove Foundation is a
mobile commercial kitchen in the form of a single
decker bus which WILL be producing hot meals daily
for the elderly and refugee families. We wilL be
working in conjunction with a number of
established charities that work with the elderly
and refugees to identify those in need and provide
them with nutritious, heaLthy hot meals.
While the work on the bus has now been
completed and it is ready to begin producing food,
we are unable to get insurance for the bus, staff or
public while the statutory inquiry is still running
and therefore it is on hold awaiting cLosure of the
unnecessarily long inquiry.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL
REPORT
for the period 7th February 2023 - 6th February 2024
Summary of main activities
Tackling Poverty - Occupied Palestine
Work was carried out on a campaign which aims to
support the poor, needy and oppressed
Palestinians living in the Old City of Jerusalem.
The interactive campaign titled '1 Love Al-Aqsa'
aims to build a connection between Muslims
around the world and Al-Aqsa Mosque in a bid to
encourage them to donate towards humanitarian
causes on the ground in the Old City, where the
living conditions of many have deteriorated over
the years due to ever increasing oppressive
actions against them at the hands of the Israeli
occupation authority. The project will be launched
in the near future.
••
Concerningly the Charity Commission for England
and Wales repeatedly questioned the Trustees
about '1 Love Al-Aqsa' and misrepresented the
campaign in a bid to stop Olive Grove Foundation
from launching it. The fact that the Charity
Commission turns a blind eye to Zionist run
charities that are in clear contravention of
international law raises serious concerns about
conflicts of interest at the Charity Commission.
questions put to the Commission in regards to
these concerns, by Olive Grove Foundation and
other organisations, have been completely
ignored to date.
TRUSTEES ANNUAL
REPORT
for the period 7th February 2023 - 6th February 2024
Summary of main activities
Tackling Poverty - Occupied Palestine
The '1 Love Al-Aqsa' campaign was a main feature
in the Charity Commission's Statement of Reasons
for the opening of the Statutory Inquiry.
The Tribunal Judge had the following to say about
the campaign:
"While the advancement of education was not in
the Charity's Objects, there must inevitably,
always be an educational aspect to any fundraising
by a charity. Further, in the Decision Log of
0610712021, at paragraph 24, referring to the
second CVI report, the Respondent Icharity
Commission) accepted that this activity was not
outside the Objects of the Charity and that there
was no conflict of interest. The Respondent had all
necessary information in respect of this project by
the date of the second CVI meeting. The '1 love Al-
Asqa, project was not for the Al-Asqa Mosque
itself but to raise profile among people who
identified sympathetically with the Mosque. The
Tribunal rejected this issue as being a valid
regulatory concern.

**Independent** [ ~~The charity~~ ’ ~~s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to~~ **examiner's statement** ~~undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of applicable listed body]].~~ ~~_Delete_ [ ]~~ ~~_if not applicable._~~
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
