Kids Company 'paid private school fees for daughter of toppled boss's chauffeur': Charity chiefs launch probe into claim pupil was bankrolled

Kids Company closed this week amid claims donations were misspent
Among allegations is one about Camila Batmanghelidjh's chauffeur
Ex employees claim charity paid for Jeton Cavolli's daughter's school fees
She is said to have attended £28,000-a-year Dauntsey's School in Wiltshire

Camila Batmanghelidjh’s Kids Company is being investigated over claims that thousands of pounds of the charity’s money was spent on paying the boarding school costs of her chauffeur’s daughter.

The Charity Commission has launched a probe into allegations by former Kids Company employees that the charity helped bankroll a place for the teenage daughter of Jeton Cavolli, her personal driver, at Dauntsey’s School in Wiltshire –where fees reach £28,000 a year.

The investigation was triggered last month after employees met the Commission to set out their concerns about whether the arrangement represented proper use of the charity’s money.

It was among several matters raised during the meeting.

The revelation comes just days after Kids Company collapsed amid a welter of allegations about Batmanghelidjh’s organisation, including financial mismanagement and sexually inappropriate behaviour by young people linked to the charity.

The Mail on Sunday understands that Mr Cavolli, 46, known as ‘Tony’, has been on the charity’s payroll for nearly two decades. He is believed to have been paid about £40,000 a year.

Mr Cavolli, who is originally from Albania, is described by staff who worked at the London HQ of the defunct organisation as being so close to Batmanghelidjh that she treated him ‘like a member of her family’.

However, employees are said to have been angered that Kids Company funds – donated to help some of society’s most damaged children – apparently helped to support Mr Cavolli’s daughter at Dauntsey’s.

The school’s chairman of governors, Richard Handover, is also the vice-chairman of Kids Company’s board of trustees.

Late last night Batmanghelidjh contacted The Mail on Sunday to say she could prove to the Charity Commission that no money had been paid by Kids Company to the school to cover academic fees because they had been covered by the school in the form of a bursary.

It is understood the bursary covered the cost of boarding fees, not ‘extras’ and other costs incurred by the girl at the school.

When asked why her charity’s accounts had shown thousands of pounds being paid to the school on behalf of the girl, who was listed as a client of the charity, Batmanghelidjh said: ‘I don’t have the accounts in front of me. I don’t know what those figures relate to.’

A source who until recently worked at the charity said last night: ‘I can confirm that Ms Cavolli was registered as a client at Kids Company, and that Kids Company funds were spent supporting her while she was at school.’ It is understood that the amount paid was a five-figure sum.

The independent school was founded in 1542 and is set in more than 100 acres on the edge of Salisbury Plain. According to school records, Miss Cavolli left last summer. A source told this newspaper that employees had contacted the Charity Commission to inform them that Miss Cavolli’s name was among a group registered formally with Kids Company as ‘clients’ – vulnerable people who used its services.

It is claimed by a source that the charity paid for a number of clients to attend fee-paying schools as part of its Child Poverty Busting Programme. The charity’s website states: ‘We see the impact of such acute deprivation at our centres every day, which is why we need your help to restore dignity and hope to these courageous children.’

The source, who asked to remain anonymous, said: ‘I met Tony Cavolli’s daughter several times. She seemed like a nice, well-adjusted girl. It seems incredible that she was registered as a Kids Company client because there was nothing wrong with her, as far as I could tell.’

any comment about dresden and hiroshima?

They started the war, question: could they not have used a smaller A bomb to get the same result from Japan, could they have exploded it in a unpopulated area outside of a major city to get Japan to surrender ?

Love to see Camila Batmanghelidjh arrested and charged , if only for her bad dress sense [ why is a white women dressed like that ] ?

Nothing like a good Hays smear!

Goes down well with his party.

How is Lynton?

Max,

You prefer the status quo.

Cameroon cant believe his luck...




Are you a voter? Think that you know best? Labour doesn’t

This obsession with issues such as renationalisation of the railways ignores what voters say is important






By Dan Hodges

It was all to do with the railways, apparently. Cost of living. Immigration. The deficit and the economy. Europe. The Union. These were the issues we all thought would determine the outcome of the election. But we were wrong. What people really cared about was who runs the buffet car on the East Coast Main Line. That at least appears to be the conclusion of the candidates running for leadership of the Labour Party.


On Sunday Jeremy Corbyn took another bold step through the looking glass, and produced his very own Clause IV moment. If elected Labour leader he would campaign to renationalise the railways, and move to put public ownership back at the heart of his party’s agenda. “We shouldn’t shy away from public participation, public investment in industry and public control of the railways,” he proclaimed.

That’s just the sort of hard-Left showboating you’d expect the great, white, bearded hope to come out with just before ballot papers are sent out. Except that a few days before, Andy Burnham – bookies’ current favourite to win the contest – had said more or less the same thing. Unveiling his leadership manifesto, A Radical Labour Vision for the 21st Century, Burnham demonstrated that a radical 21st-century vision looks remarkably similar to a vision from 1948. He would, he announced, implement a “policy of progressive renationalisation of the railways”. Progressive renationalisation. As opposed to regressive renationalisation, presumably.



Rather than listen to the will of the people, Labour has again decided to tune them out
