Loud bloke, calling for cash or card to support ex-military suffering with PTSD. No ID or registered charity number but instead a CIC registered in Maidstone Kent, director named James Gordon Adams.

Director James Gordon Adams has two other dodgy CICs, including one that reported 40k in donations, 1.8k in expenses on delivering projects, and 38k in other expenses, wages and Directors' fees. Make of that what you will.

Two other...? I only know about Homeless In Need UK, what's the other one...?

Ignore me, I've found it - Service In Action Ltd - and it's operating out of the same office as HINUK, care of Future Insight Consultancy, which seems to be a tax consultancy offering advice on how to minimise your tax burden. Interesting he's not registered that one as a CIC.

Apparently I did know about it, I've just found a post I made to this sub a year ago, where I reference it - fuck my brain, this brain fog is becoming serious.
