Naomi Campbell, the renowned British supermodel, has been barred from serving as a charity trustee in England and Wales for five years. The Charity Commission found severe misconduct and mismanagement in her organization, Fashion for Relief.

The charity, which aimed to alleviate poverty and promote health and education, diverted a significant portion of its funds to luxury expenses rather than charitable causes. Reports indicate that Campbell used charity funds for luxury hotel stays, spa treatments, room service, and cigarettes.

Moreover, the organization failed to maintain proper records of meetings and decisions and submitted financial reports late. Despite raising substantial amounts, only a small fraction went towards charitable activities.

As a result, Fashion for Relief has been dissolved, and Campbell, alongside other trustees, faced severe sanctions. This incident underlines the importance of transparency and accountability in charitable organizations, ensuring that donations are used for their intended purposes.
