NOTICE - Caritas Homes Without Borders for Refugees (Basingstoke)

We have been asked by the Diocese of Portsmouth to make you aware of the following letter in relation to 'Homes Without Borders'.


Name of charity: The Portsmouth Roman Catholic Diocesan Trust
Registered charity number: 246871

Purpose for which money or other property was given: Caritas Homes without Borders for Refugees (Basingstoke)

NOTICE is given that money and other property given for this purpose can not be used for that purpose because the project Leadership Team does not believe it would be possible financially to support a refugee family in light of the increased cost of living.

If you gave money or other property for that purpose you are entitled to claim it back. If you wish to do so you must tell the Department of Communications & Fundraising of the Diocese of  Portsmouth, c/o Diocesan Office, St Edmund House, Bishop Crispian Way, Portsmouth PO1 3QA  (or via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) within three months of 23 June 2022.

If you wish the money or other property to go to a similar charitable purpose and to disclaim your right to the return of the money or other property, you must ask the Diocese for a form of disclaimer.

If you do not either make a claim within the three months or sign a disclaimer, the Charity Commission may make a Scheme applying the property to other charitable purposes.

You will still be able to claim the return of your money or other property (less expenses), but only if you do so within 6 months from the date of any Scheme made by the Commissioners.

Date of this Notice: 23 June 2022
