Model Naomi Campbell said she has instructed new advisers to investigate what happened at her charity Fashion for Relief after she was disqualified from being a trustee for five years, adding aspects of the watchdog’s report were “deeply flawed”.

The 54-year-old said the Charity Commission’s report, which found serious mismanagement of funds including hotel stays and spa treatments, was “incomplete and misleading in their consideration of evidence”.

Campbell was one of three trustees to be disqualified as a result of the probe.

“First of all, I recognise that, as the face of Fashion for Relief, I am ultimately responsible for its conduct,” Campbell said in a statement to the PA news agency.

“I want to assure everyone who has supported us that these findings are being taken very seriously.

“I have instructed new advisers to undertake a detailed investigation of what transpired.”

Campbell insisted she has “never been paid a fee for my participation in Fashion for Relief nor billed any personal expenses to the organisation”.

“I’ve dedicated nearly 30 years of my life to charitable initiatives, and I care deeply about the value and impact of the work I do,” she said.

“Typically, I align my charity work with paid assignments, which cover my travel and related expenses.

“In cases where this is not possible, either myself or personal friends have covered the expenses.

Campbell said she intends to consider all options, including requesting an appeal, to ensure the report “presents a fair and accurate representation of our operations”.

“We believe aspects of the report are deeply flawed,” she added.

The Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities in England and Wales, opened an inquiry into Fashion for Relief in 2021.

It was dissolved and removed from the register of charities earlier this year.

It had been set up with the aim of uniting the fashion industry to relieve poverty and advance health and education by making grants to other organisations and providing resources after global disasters.
