Britain’s largest charity for older LGBT people has been seeking donations from the adult subscription site OnlyFans – in an attempt to prop up its ailing finances, an investigation by theipaper can reveal
with a huge cache of documents — including its accounts, bills, internal emails, and minutes from board meetings — “it’s bust”., particularly as the need for its services are greater than ever before, with loneliness and poverty among elderly LGBT people soaring., the chair of the board of trustees denied ODL was insolvent, but admitted it has hired an insolvency practitioner and has “been able to avoid ceasing operations”.
Talks between ODL and OnlyFans were not only to secure funding. According to the minutes of an ODL board meeting on 30 June 2022, the discussions focused on a “multi-year partnership” that would also “support to raise our profile”, be an “opportunity [to] encourage new donors”, and would involve “support in creating new content”.
But rather than end discussions, the charity’s head of fundraising and communications has been “working to engage a PR company on a pro-bono basis to support Opening Doors [to] manage this”. “AW had spoken to our biggest funder [NLCF] to sound them out,” the minutes read. “Their response was that it was a decision for our trustees to take – their concern would also be around their own reputation should an issue arise and that we should have robust plans in place”.
Minutes of the June boarding meeting raise other concerns: “We have no opening fund balances and so are in breach of our own fiduciary duties to our funders and supporters ”. Specifically, the minutes noted that “restricted funds were being used to fund salaries not related to their primary purpose”. And due to the end-of-year accounts still not having been produced, “we do not know what restricted/unrestricted funds we have”.
