Madeleine’s fund is a non charitable not-for-profit company, which
has been established to help find Madeleine McCann and to support her
family and bring her abductors to justice. Any surplus funds will be
used to help families and missing children in the United Kingdom,
Portugal and elsewhere in similar circumstances. If there are surplus
funds Madeleine’s Funds can be converted into a charity.
The
Fund is following best practice governance procedures as set out in the
Good Governance Code for the Voluntary and Community Sector. The
directors of the company are Peter Hubner, Brian Kennedy, John McCann,
Michael Linnett, Edward Smethurst , Doug Skehan and Jon Corner. They
have appropriate legal, business and charitable experience. An
experienced Fund Administrator has been appointed to ensure the highest
standards of transparency and accountability. This should enable the
Directors to maintain an appropriate governance distance in the
day-to-day operations of the Fund.
The Board
and its individual Directors will ensure that the Fund is subject to
required financial legal scrutiny. They will ensure that they receive
reliable external advice and information, as the basis for making good
decisions.
